The book is a master piece. It explains Krishna's teachings with as much conviction as some one who has heard it directly from His Lips. It helps view the whole Kurukshthra battle in a totally different angle. The first chapter which is the biggest in the book, sets the context about each important character in the Mahabharatha and how it Metaphysically relates to our own body and life. Needs to be read with great concentration to get the best out of it and for the techings to sink in. It also h...more
There is nothing that brings immediate peace and calmness to my being then reading the Gita, Yogananda's commentary brings that great writing alive by his explanations of Indian Culture and the Yoga Sutras. There is a great deal of metaphoric language that needs commentary for us in the West. It is a magical experience to engage in reading the Gita, I have often wondered if there is perhaps some primordial sound irrespective of the translated language when studying these sacred scriptures.
These books (2 volumes) are the most sacred in my book collection.
I also own the 8 disc series of the Mahabharat, which is a; must watch in conjunction to the Gita.
Reading the Gita and watching the Mahabharat should be on everyones to read/watch list, if everyone read and watched this, the world would be a better place.

Very hard to read. The version of these teaching published by Crystal Clarity (based on the commentary by Yogananda`s direct disciple Swami Kriyananda) is much easier to read. But these books are both directly based on the 20th century writing of the great yogi Paramhansa Yogananda.
A masterpiece of spiritual wisdom from the highest realm of consciousness of a greatest yogi himself... never has anything of this stature has ever been written before in the history of entire canon of world spiritual literature * Aum *

Great book but hard to get through. Swami Kriyananda's Essence of the Bhagavad Gita is much more accessible.
This is a beautiful edition of the Bhagavad Gita, and Yogananda's explication is very insightful.

This is quite a translation and took me a long time to read, as much as I love the Gita.
Altogether different and pragmatic approach to Bhagawad Gita
This is best ever commentry of Bhagwad Geeta..
Dense, comprehensive, phenomenal. It's going to take me a while to wade through this one.
