The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita (Self-Realization Fellowship)

The editors and publishers at SRF have once again put together a masterpiece of spiritual wisdom harvested from the vast teachings - both spoken and written, of that great yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. It is almost like SRF has cloned the very creative and enlightened well of love that was Yogananda - and pulled out his teachings on the Bhagavad Gita from the astral world itself. This is a fresh and new approach to explaining the science of yoga - if that can be said about teachings and ideas that are thousands of years old.The editors were very careful to keep true to Yogananda's teachings and his words. It has all his energy and thoughts carefully edited and threaded together in a very readable and enlightening format. The book will delight old SRF devotees and inspire new believers. The book delivers at all levels and one will find reading this book a real gift to their spirit.I highly recommend this book to those who have an open mind and who want to spiritualize their life's journey. For those not familiar with the life of Yogananda I would strongly suggest the reading the spiritual classic "An Autobiography of a Yogi". This is destined to become another spiritual classic as well. It will never go out of date.

Yogananda is a master teacher with gentleness.

In my mind and experience, no other translation and commentary on the Gita comes close to Paramahansa Yogananda's for clarity, depth, understanding and insight. Reading it -- along with his other major chef d'oeuvre, "The Second Coming of Christ" -- has convinced me to become a devotee and student of his teachings. The insights he offers to the Gita are often literally breath-taking and his writing style is so eminently understandable as to be useful by anyone with a modest education and a sincere desire to learn.This is indeed a true spiritual classic of major proportion!

Out of all the translations of the Bhagavad Gita that I've read, Paramahansa Yogananda's is the most beautiful and comprehensible. Not to mention his insightful commentary that goes along with it. This new ebook version from SRF is so lovely - colorful and aesthetic. I've had the print version for a while now and always enjoyed it, even just reading a page or two puts my mind in an uplifted state. And so naturally I'm happy to have this on my kindle for on-the-go perusal. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in striving to live a spiritual life in the modern world.

This is a good introduction to the understanding of the Bhagavad Gita. Get the 2 volume set with greater detail.

I loved the details and coherent explanations. The pronunciations of the sanskrit (?) names and words made my reading-flow a little difficult. I would love to hear the proper pronunciation of the italicized words. It was straighforward and easy to read, and it provided great clarity over past books for proper meditation techniques.

An excellent book if you want to know the true meaning of the Bhagavad Gita!! Very inspiring and well written. I urge anyone who wants to find the true interpretation of the Gita to purchase this book published by Self Realization Fellowship and written by Paramahansa Yogananda.

A beautiful short form explanation of the holy messages contained in the Bhagavad Gita. If you liked this you will love the complete work: God Talks with Arjuna.

How can anyone review what Paramahansa Yogananda has lovingly gifted to humanity? This is not a book to be read, but to be assimilated over one's lifetime, along with its main two-volume companion "The Bhagavad Gita: God Talks with Arjuna".

I have been drawn to the Gita from the first time I heard of it but struggled to understand aspects of it. This book cleared my mind to the wonders that Thoreau understood.

For any serious yoga student who wants to practice all limbs of the yoga method and not only the asanas. Very thorough with lots of references to other text and science.
