And sympathy to one of the most noted sacred texts of Asia, the Bhagavad Gita, and the results are very happy… Highly recommended.—Library JournalAs Mitchell notes in his excellent introduction, the Gita is not just one of the core texts of Hindu religious philosophy; it has been a key work in the development of American literature as well… Mitchell has the uncanny ability to usher originals into an English of beauty and resonance without making them all sound alike. His Gita is dazzling without ostentation… This is a handsome and expertly translated version of one of the world’s most important religious poems.—Kirkus ReviewsFew events in publishing these days can be called joyous and historically significant, but the appearance of Stephen Mitchell’s new translation of the ancient Hindu holy book the Bhagavad Gita is such an occasion… He has created a verse translation of the Gita that moves more quickly and is more accessible than the previous translations… [This is] the perfect book to delve into whenever you feel a need to enter… a world in which we are eternal, radiant, and loved.—Yoga JournalOn the list of the greatest spiritual books of all time, the Bhagavad Gita resides permanently in the top echelon…. In this titular translation, Stephen Mitchell’s rhythms are faultless, making music of this ancient “Song of the Blessed One.”—Brian Bruya, for Amazon.comMitchell must by now be accounted one of our generation’s heroic translators, having taken on the Book of Job, the Tao Te Ching, and Genesis and done so much to popularize Rilke in English. Now he applies his considerable skill and sympathy to one of the most noted sacred texts of Asia, the Bhagavad Gita, and the results are very happy. He works in free-verse quatrains of about three beats per line, and his language flows with great naturalness. Inevitably, this text will remain both ancient and foreign to many modern readers, but Mitchell’s work goes a long way to making these words…[drive] away your ignorance and delusion. Highly recommended.—Library JournalThoreau said of this Indian masterpiece that “in comparison, our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial,” while Gandhi claimed that those who meditated upon it would “derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day.” The sixth book of the epic Mahabharata, the Gita is one of Asia’s most renowned spiritual texts. Mitchell, whose translation of the Tao Te Ching has been extraordinarily popular, offers a direct, clean translation of the Gita that reads like a series of pithy epigrams of advice and comfort… Mitchell clarifies meaning without sacrificing beauty and emotional resonance. Recommended for libraries whose patrons show strong interest in non-Western religious traditions.—Booklist

Rarely in a lifetime does a new spiritual classic appear that has the power to change people's lives and transform future generations. This is such a book.The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda shares the profound insights of Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, as remembered by one of his close and direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda.This revelation of India's best-loved scripture approaches it from an entirely fresh perspective, showing its deep allegorical meaning and also its down-to-earth practicality. The themes presented are universal, including: how to achieve victory in life in union with the divine; how to prepare for life's "final exam," death, and what happens afterward; and how to triumph over all pain and suffering.This book is itself a triumph. Swami Kriyananda worked with Paramhansa Yogananda in 1950 while the Master completed his commentary. At that time Yogananda commissioned him to disseminate his teachings worldwide. During his lifetime Kriyananda lectured, taught, and wrote more than 140 books based on Yogananda's teachings.The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita, Kriyananda's eighty-sixth book, was one of the crowning achievements of his highly productive life. In this, his masterpiece, he declared, "Yogananda's insights into the Gita are the most amazing, thrilling, and helpful of any I have ever read."

Stephen Mitchell is widely known for his ability to make ancient masterpieces thrillingly new, to step in where many have tried before and create versions that are definitive for our time. He now brings to the Bhagavad Gita his gift for breathing new life into sacred texts.The Bhagavad Gita is universally acknowledged as one of the world’s literary and spiritual masterpieces. It is the core text of the Hindu tradition and has been treasured by American writers from Emerson and Thoreau to T. S. Eliot, who called it the greatest philosophical poem after the Divine Comedy. There have been more than two hundred English translations of the Gita, including many competent literal versions, but not one of them is a superlative literary text in its own right.Now all that has changed. Stephen Mitchell’s Bhagavad Gita sings with the clarity, the vigor, and the intensity of the original Sanskrit. It will, as William Arrowsmith said of Mitchell’s translation of The Sonnets to Orpheus, “instantly make every other rendering obsolete.”Chapter 9: The Secret of LifeThe Blessed Lord said:Because you trust me, Arjuna,I will tell you what wisdom is,the secret of life: know itand be free of suffering, forever.This is the supreme wisdom,the knowing beyond all knowing,experienced directly, in a flash,eternal, and a joy to practice.Those who are without faithin my teaching, cannot attain me;they endlessly return to this world,shuttling from death to death.I permeate all the universein my unmanifest form.All beings exist within me,yet I am so inconceivablyvast, so beyond existence,that though they are brought forthand sustained by my limitless power,I am not confined within them.Just as the all-moving windwherever it goes, alwaysremains in the vastness of space,all beings remain within me.They are gathered back into my wombat the end of the cosmic cycle —a hundred fifty thousandbillion of your earthly years —and as a new cycle beginsI send them forth once again,pouring from my abundancethe myriad forms of life.These actions do not bind me, Arjuna.I stand apart from them all,indifferent to their outcome,unattached, serene.Under my guidance, Naturebrings forth all beings, all thingsanimate or inanimate,and sets the whole universe in motion.Foolish people despise mein the human form that I take,blind to my true natureas the Lord of all life and death.Their hopes and actions are vain,their knowledge is sheer delusion;turning from the light, they fallinto cruelty, selfishness, greed.But the truly wise, Arjuna,who dive deep into themselves,fearless, one-pointed, know meas the inexhaustible source.Always chanting my praise,steadfast in their devotion,they make their lives an unendinghymn to my endless love.Others, on the path of knowledge,know me as the many, the One;behind the faces of a milliongods, they can see my face.I am the ritual and the worship,the medicine and the mantra,the butter burnt in the

Air [Vāyu]. You are the sun [Sūrya] and the moon [Chandrama]. You are Brahman. You are (the three worlds) Bhuloka [earth], Antariksha-loka [space], and Swargaloka [heaven]. You are Om. (That is to say, You are all this).— Gaṇapatya Atharvaśīrṣa 6[89]Jaiminiya Upanishad BrahmanaThe Jaiminiya Upanishad Brahmana, a Samavedic text, outlines a story where those who chant Om can achieve the same rewards as deities. However, the gods are concerned about humans ascending to their realm. To address this concern, a compromise is reached between the gods and Death. Humans can attain immortality, but it involves relinquishing their physical bodies to Death. This immortality entails an extended celestial existence after a long earthly life, where the practitioner aspires to acquire a divine self (atman) in a non-physical form, allowing them to reside eternally in the heavenly realm.[90]RamayanaIn Valmiki's Ramayana, Rama is identified with Om, with Brahma saying to Rama:"You are the sacrificial performance. You are the sacred syllable Vashat (on hearing which the Adhvaryu priest casts the oblation to a deity into the sacrificial fire). You are the mystic syllable OM. You are higher than the highest. People neither know your end nor your origin nor who you are in reality. You appear in all created beings in the cattle and in brahmanas. You exist in all quarters, in the sky, in mountains and in rivers."Bhagavad GitaAn illustration of Om from a Mahabharata manuscript, 1795, decorated with murtis of Surya, Brahma, and Vishnu to the left, Shakti (could be Maheshwari) on the chandrabindu point, and Shiva (holding a trishula) to the rightThe Bhagavad Gita, in the Mahabharata, mentions the meaning and significance of Om in several verses. According to Jeaneane Fowler, verse 9.17 of the Bhagavad Gita synthesizes the competing dualistic and monist streams of thought in Hinduism, by using "Om which
