Über diesen Titel

The Bhagavad Gita is the best known of all the Indian scriptures, and Eknath Easwaran’s best-selling translation is reliable, readable, and profound.

Easwaran's extensive introduction places the Bhagavad Gita in its historical setting, and brings out the universality and timelessness of its teachings. Chapter introductions clarify key concepts, and notes and a glossary explain Sanskrit terms.

Easwaran grew up in the Hindu tradition in India, and learned Sanskrit from a young age. He was a professor of English literature before coming to the West on a Fulbright scholarship. A gifted teacher, he is recognized as an authority on the Indian classics and world mysticism.

The Bhagavad Gita opens, dramatically, on a battlefield, as the warrior Arjuna turns in anguish to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental questions of life. Yet, as Easwaran points out, the Gita is not what it seems – it’s not a dialogue between two mythical figures at the dawn of Indian history. “The battlefield is a perfect backdrop, but the Gita’s subject is the war within, the struggle for self-mastery that every human being must wage if he or she is to emerge from life victorious.”

Arjuna’s struggle in the Bhagavad Gita is acutely modern. He has lost his way on the battlefield of life and turns to find the path again by asking direct, uncompromising questions of his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, the Lord himself. Krishna replies in 700 verses of sublime instruction on living and dying, loving and working, and the nature of the soul.

Easwaran shows the Gita’s relevance to us today as we strive, like Arjuna, to do what is right.

Narrated by Paul Bazely, an actor of Indian heritage and a longtime student of Easwaran. Music by Yann Stoneman.

Kritikerstimmen

"No one in modern times is more qualified - no, make that 'as qualified' - to translate the epochal classics of Indian spirituality than Eknath Easwaran. And the reason is clear. It is impossible to get to the heart of those classics unless you live them, and he did live them. My admiration of the man and his works is boundless." (Huston Smith, author of The World’s Religions)
"For all of its profundity, Eknath Easwaran manages to translate the Gita in easy prose that neither panders nor obscures. Coupled with his thorough introduction, Easwaran’s version comes off on all the levels it should: as a guide to action, devotional scripture, a philosophical text, and inspirational reading." (Amazon.com Eastern Religion editor)

Great book by great voice

Das Konzept mit den 3 Gunas ist interessant und wird ausführlich erläutert. Ausserdem geht es darum das Ego loszuwerden und selbst los zu handeln. Worauf wartest du? Erleuchtung wäre dir gewiss. Ich fühle mich zu jung und unerfahren für einen rein spirituellen Weg.

The Gita offers so much insight, and here The author perfect combined little guidance and then he just lets the Gita talk. Also the narrators voice and pronouncing is very pleasant and clear. I listen to this the whole year nearly everyday, for a couple of minutes. Perfect.

Great combination for everyday

It's clearly an Advaita Vedanta interpretation of Bhagavad Gita influenced by school of Shankara , one should keep in mind that he's interpretation and conclusion not the only one and is clearly different from Bhakti Vedantic schools of India like the four Vaishnava Samradayas. But it's interesting to listen. It's more read like a story so one don't know with Vers is spoken exactly.

good but it's Advaita Vedanta

After reading the Bible from cover to cover I came to this book and found it a breath of fresh air and to be quite honest - as full of positive thoughts If not more!
Narrator did a very good job. Very pleased.

Simply wonderful.

This is one of those texts which gave me goosebumps on not just one ocassion. Regardless of your religious affiliations, this is a book who in my opinion everyone should read at least once in their lifetime. And I am more than sure once is not enough to internalise every thought, every reflection intended here. There are one or two aspects of the text I do not resonate with; one for example the segregation of duties of oneself according to the caste they were born in, but one needs to take into consideration the time in which this book was written (no one knows how old it is in all honesty). One can take a plethora of different ideas and concepts from here which in my opinion have the strength to turn them into a better version of themselves. As Krishna said to Arjuna: „Reflect on these thoughts, and then do as you deem best.“

Absolutely breathtaking.
