Joshua M. Greene has taken one of the most venerable and revered texts of all times -The Bhagavad Gita, and presents it in a completely new way. Greene reveals that the GIta, which can easily be obtuse to the modern reader, is really a simple conversation between two friends about the meaning of life. This fresh new view helps the 21st century seeker relate to the Gita and offers new ways of understanding this essential wisdom. The Gita is a discussion between Krishna and his devoted friend Arjuna on a battlefield known as Kurukshetra, a sprawling tract of land two hours north of Delhi, India. Scriptural calculations put the date of this famous discussion at around 3000 BCE. Like all great literature the Gita explores the human condition: who we are, where we come from, and why we are here. And as with all great literature, the more we study the main characters the more real and human they become. From related works we learn that Krishna and Arjuna played together as children. They were close friends in youth and became family when Arjuna married Krishna’s sister. We learn that later in life they shared extraordinary adventures, including a journey through subtle pathways to places outside the known universe. Plainly put, India’s most revered scripture is a heart-to-heart talk between two men who were closer than brothers and were the best of friends. Above all, The Sacred Conversation is practical and features a very helpful glossary in the back for terms, names, and places. Whether you are an expert on The Bhagavad Gita or a first-time reader, this unique contribtion to spiritual literature offers deep knowledge in a highly accessible way.

In the timeless verses of the Bhagavad Gita, a sacred scripture dating back thousands of years, one can find more than just spiritual guidance and philosophical insights. Nestled within the poetic expressions of wisdom, there are subtle clues and profound observations that beckon us to explore the intricate tapestry of the Earth itself. This preface serves as an invitation to embark on a journey into the geological mysteries of Indian rivers, as elucidated by the ancient verses of the Bhagavad Gita. The Gita, a philosophical dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna, transcends the boundaries of time, offering a holistic perspective on life, existence, and the natural world. As we delve into its verses, we discover glimpses of geological understanding that echo across millennia. It is a testament to the nuanced observations and the keen sense of interconnectedness that the ancient seers possessed, showcasing an awareness of the Earth's processes that is as relevant today as it was in ancient times. This exploration seeks to unveil the geological clues embedded in the verses of the Bhagavad Gita, specifically focusing on the rivers that crisscross the vast and diverse landscape of India. These rivers, revered and celebrated in cultural and spiritual contexts, are not merely channels of water but bear witness to the geological tales inscribed in their ancient, rocky beds. As we traverse through the chapters of the Gita, we will draw attention to verses that hint at the dynamics of rivers, the cycles of erosion and sedimentation, and the profound connections between nature and human existence. The Gita's verses, often poetic and metaphorical, provide a unique lens through which we can perceive the geological processes that shape the land and sculpt its rivers. This journey into the geology of Indian rivers, guided by the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, is an endeavour to bridge the realms of spirituality and science, revealing a deeper understanding of the Earth's mysteries. It is an exploration of the ancient's comprehension of the natural world, a testament to the enduring relevance of their insights, and an ode to the rivers that have been witness to the ebb and flow of civilizations over the ages. So, let us embark on this expedition, guided by the verses of the Bhagavad Gita, to unravel the geological secrets woven into the fabric of India's rivers and to discover the profound interconnectedness between the spiritual and the scientific, the ancient and the modern.

In this companion to his best-selling translation of the Bhagavad Gita, Easwaran explores the essential themes of this much-loved Indian scripture. Placing the Gita in a modern context, Easwaran shows how this classic text sheds light on the nature of reality, the illusion of separateness, the search for identity, and the meaning of yoga. The key message of the Gita is how to resolve our conflicts and live in harmony with the deep unity of life, through the principles of yoga and the practice of meditation. Easwaran grew up in the Hindu tradition and learned Sanskrit from an early age. A foremost translator and interpreter of the Gita, he taught classes on it for forty years, while living out the principles of the Gita in the midst of a busy family and community life. In the Gita, Sri Krishna, the Lord, doesn’t tell the warrior prince Arjuna what to do: he shows Arjuna his choices and then leaves it to Arjuna to decide. Easwaran, too, shows us clearly how these teachings still apply to us – and how, like Arjuna, we must take courage and act wisely if we want our world to thrive.

Drawing on the example of Krishna guiding Arjuna's chariot, it redefines leadership as a commitment to service, excellence, and virtuous character, inspiring others to follow suit. Its unique insights help you understand different personality types, motivating individuals according to their nature, and building effective teams for a harmonious and prosperous organizational culture.

Gitaji is a treasure house of practical and applied wisdom. It is a true friend, philosopher and guide to its reader. I was introduced to Gita Mata by my father Pt. Rameshwar Vyas. He was a yoga teacher and social worker. He used to hold satsang with learned Sanskrit scholars, and I used to listen to their interpretation on Ved, Upnishad, Ramayan, Mahabharat, and of course, Gitaji. Gitaji does not counter or propagate any ‘ism’ or school of thoughts. It reveals universal, psychological, philosophical and scientific facts to its reader. It says that whatever way you tread, i.e., action, knowledge or devotion, it all leads you to your inner peace and freedom. Gitaji is a brief version of Sanskrit verse translated into English. It tries to simplify as well as co-ordinate related topics dealt within the epic sermon by Lord Krishna.
