Synopsis

Eknath Easwaran’s translation of The Bhagavad Gita is the best-selling English edition in the US, and The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living is his verse-by-verse commentary.

Full of examples, stories, humor, and practical spiritual exercises, it brings the Gita’s teachings into our own lives. Each volume of this set covers six chapters of the Gita, and can be read on its own. The three volumes together form a comprehensive manual for living a spiritual life.

Easwaran was a professor of English literature and taught meditation and spiritual living for 40 years. He is an authority on world mysticism, and lived what he taught, giving him lasting appeal as a spiritual teacher and an author of deep insight and warmth.

This second volume in the three-volume set covers chapters 7–12 of the Gita, and concentrates on the supreme reality which underlies all creation. Easwaran builds a bridge between scientific knowledge and spiritual wisdom, culminating in the final chapter, The Way of Love.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Easwaran's magnum opus. The Bhagavad Gita is not a book of commandments but of choices. It presents two ways of living, shows their consequences and then leaves the choosing to us. Easwaran's accessible translation and lively, practical commentary show how the Gita's universal teachings apply to events in our own lives and times. Volume II takes a sweeping look at relationships.

About the Author:

Eknath Easwaran brings to this volume a rare combination of literary skill, scholarship, and spiritual wisdom. His Sanskrit comes from one of the purest traditions in India, where for twenty years he followed a successful career as a writer, lecturer, and teacher of English literature. But it is essentially the stamp of personal experience that makes his presentation of the spiritual life so effective.
