THE SACRED LANGUAGE OF the Hindus is Sanskrit, and Sanskrit is itself a development and formalization of the more ancient 'Vedic' in which the Vedas were composed.

The Bhagavad Gita

0.0 (0)

The Bhagavad Gita has been revered by truth-seekers of both the East and West, yet its deepest meaning, cloaked in allegory, has remained obscure. In God Talks With Arjuna, Paramahansa Yogananda offers a translation and commentary of unparalleled scope and vision. Exploring the Gita’s psychological, spiritual, and metaphysical depths, he reveals the innermost essence of this majestic scripture while presenting an enlightening and deeply encouraging guide to who we are, why we were created, and our place and purpose in the vast cosmic scheme of things. “The words of Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita,” writes Paramahansa Yogananda, “are at once a profound scripture on the science of yoga, union with God, and a textbook for everyday living.”

"This book attempts to provide a description and interpretation of the religion of the Hindus as practised and experienced by them. A wholly original exposition of Hinduism, it focuses on Hindu religious psychology and behaviour rather than the mythology, dogmas, and rituals as found in the religious texts. Rejecting familiar assumptions about early Hinduism, Nirad C. Chaudhuri makes a reassessment of its formative influences, and goes on to examine temple and image worship in general, as well as the three major cults of Siva, Krishna, and the Mother Goddess." --Goodreads.
