A must read for every human being on EARTH !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bhagavad Gita and Its Message (Paperback)
First, a few words about the scripture (Bhagawad Gita) itself so that the importance and usefulness of this particular book becomes more evident. Bhagwad Gita, although originating from the East (India, to be specific) contains the wisdom which is universal in nature transcending all the Time, Nation and Religion. It is not 'Time' specific because although written centuries back it still holds people in awe about its applicability to modern time of strife, of friction between people of different races, of friction between nations etc. - the problems are endless... It is not specific to a 'Nation' because the philosophical thoughts in Gita are immediately applicable to human being in general, you only have to go through this commentary and see how it holds your attention when it deals with the human nature, its behavior etc. you will feel that it is talking about you as if it has been in the depths of your mind... It is not (in my opinion) any Religion specific (meaning it does not serve the cause for a particular religion), although the thoughts here are influenced by the Hindu way of thinking. Certainly when it says that "you are a manifestation of the same Ultimate Divine but you act the way you act because of the play of 'Nature' in you and your spiritual purpose in this life is to be one with That" is not a religion specific. While just going through the translation of any particular verse in this book I felt many times that I understood the meaning of that particular verse, but when I read the commentary then it impressed me that I had grasped just the word meaning as opposed to the actual, intended, real meaning. Certainly, a scripture which deals with highly profound and sublime thoughts has to be very difficult to grasp, and that is where a person like Sri Aurobindo helps. I certainly subscribe to the comment at the back of the book that 'for one who is going through Gita (using this commentary) for the first time will find Gita unfolding itself in all its Beauty, Brilliance and Glory'. A masterful work !

In 5000 years nobody has better interpreted the Gita,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bhagavad Gita and Its Message (Paperback)
The most truthful, profound, exact, powerful and sincere interpretation of the Gita. It would be safe to assert that only the original author of the Gita could have come up with such an interpretation. No other interpration of the Gita comes close.

The Bhagavad Gita with commentaries from Sri Aruobindo,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bhagavad Gita and Its Message (Paperback)
Sri Auorbindo wrote extensively on the Gita in his classic book Essays on the Gita. The Message of the Gita includes commentaries from Essays on the Gita. The meaning of the Gita is made clear through the commentary following the slokas.
