The Bhagavad Gita has been called "India's Greatest Gift to Humanity." Hundreds of devoted students have written commentary on this book since it entered written form roughly 5,000 years ago. It has an even longer oral tradition, and this version, rhymed in English, brings the age-old practice of recitation within reach of Western tongues. Each chapter explores practices, or yogas for union with the divine. Reading aloud, re-reading, and revisiting time and again will unfold the meaning of life, literally. It contains lessons on duty, love, sacrifice, and balance for life on earth, and discusses the nature of the soul and of the supreme creator, with an actual vision of the creator big enough to contain all faith traditions.
