THE YOGA OF THE BHAGAVAD GITA sheds a fascinating light on the true intent of India's beloved scripture. Yogananda shows how the warriors doing battle on the field of Kurukshetra are intended metaphorically to represent the negative tendencies of the human ego pitted against the divine qualities latent in each soul. He describes how each of us, through applying the profound wisdom of yoga, can achieve material and spiritual victory on the battlefield of daily life. This concise and inspiring new book is a compilation of selections from Paramahansa Yogananda's in-depth, critically acclaimed volume translation of and commentary on the Bhagavad Gita (God Talks With Arjuna). It presents truth-seekers with an ideal introduction to the Gita's timeless and universal teachings - the liberating path of right action and meditation to achieve a permanent state of higher consciousness.
