Synopsis
The "Gita" is a "Divine Song" - sung by God to his friend, man. It is a statement of the truths at the core of what we all already believe, claims the author, to read it is to experience the profound truth it brings. Its central message is that spirituality is the only winning solution.
Customer Reviews
A great intro
This is one of the best translations and explanations of the Bhagavad Gita I have ever read. Simple and concise, great for the western taste and not full of complicated and irrelevant verbage like other translations I could mention. Explains exactly what the Gita is about. Well done Jack!
Clear, concise, and moving
As the title suggests, this book is a good introduction to the Bhagavad Gita if you have never read any other translations of it, some of which can be a bit heavy to start off with. I especially like the end where Jack Hawley talks of his personal experiences whilst writing the book and living with his wife in India. I wont give it away but was good to read about what the philosophy meant to the author in real life. The Gita is always thought-provoking, and is a good book for conscious living.
