One of the best-loved scriptures in the world, the Bhagavad Gita has been translated by many scholars and poets over thousands of years. Here is a new English language translation of this great scripture by a spiritual master. Perhaps more than any other version, Yogananda's Bhagavad Gita captures the spiritual depth of the original. Each verse of this 18-chapter scripture is translated in sparkling modern English prose that conveys the power and the inspiration of this ancient spiritual work. Spiritual practices such as devotion, selfless service and spiritual discrimination are explained and clarified. This treasure of a book not only represents the wisdom of the original Gita – it expresses it with poetic beauty. This is the perfect Gita for today's reader – clear, powerful, straightforward and inwardly transforming. It contains 130 pages of profound spiritual truths edited by Yogananda's direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda.
