    About this ebook

    Prominent perennial classics like the Odyssey and the Mahabharata, inspire us to understand the significance of life beyond the everyday world. Our spirit needs that kind of nourishment! To that task, Prem Prakash has chosen the beloved Bhagavad Gita and transformed its significant value for the third millennium. In these pages he explains the mythical power of the story and portrays the practical power of the dialog between Lord Krishna and the warrior Arjuna. This narrative is universal yoga, the everlasting cosmic story of ourselves. It looks at our inner conflicts as well as our public opportunities, showing us how to contend with life and its obligations while at the same time achieving our ultimate destiny. This new translation and commentary inspires us to understand the significance of life beyond our everyday world.
    “The Gita is one of the most sublime dialogs in our mythical history. It reveals the unlikely circumstances that force its hero into an insufferable quandary. This significant translation and provocative commentary stirs us to view this classic within the ambiance of our personal lives.” Swami Jaidev Bharati

    Prem Prakash

    Prem Prakash was born in the United States and spent the first fifteen years of his life like most young men of his culture - absorbed in matters pertaining to sports and sex. With the grace and guidance of his gurus he was awakened to yoga and processes of developing wisdom and compassion. He is the author of Three Paths of Devotion, Universal Yoga, Yoga American Style as well as The Yoga of Spiritual Devotion. His writings on yoga have appeared in many publications in the US and Europe. Prem lives at the Kailash Ashram in Middlebury, Vermont where he serves as co-director on the Green Mountain School of Yoga.
