Bhagavad Gita Living Exp (P)

While translations of the Bhagavad Gita are widely available, fewer titles offer basic commentary on the text for a general audience. In The Bhagavad Gita as a Living Experience, Indologist Wilfried Huchzermeyer and yoga instructor/illustrator Jutta Zimmermann provide a basic primer on the Gita's meaning. An accessible introduction explaining the Gita's role in the Mahabarata is followed by character studies of Arjuna and Krishna, essays on the Gita as poetry and chapters on bhakti, jnana and karma yoga.
