700 versos de la Bhagavad Guita revelando mediante el diálogo de Krishna con Arjuna, las lecciones sobre cómo vivir y actuar correctamente y cuál es la verdadera naturaleza del hombre y su relación con Dios, como escenario el simbolismo entre hombre-ego y su naturaleza superior verdadera, mostrándosnos el camino hacia la mayor de las realidades por medio de la acción desinteresada, la entrega de lo divino y el camino del conocimiento. Un texto considerado como la esencia de la sabiduría védica hindú, una de las obras clásicas más importantes de la literatura religiosa mundial, reconocida y apreciada por personas de diferentes creencias como auténtica fuente de la Verdad Eterna.
Swami Sivananda Saraswati (September 8, 1887—July 14, 1963) was a Hindu spiritual teacher and a well known proponent of Sivananda Yoga and Vedanta. Sivananda was born Kuppuswami in Pattamadai, in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. He studied medicine and served in Malaya as a physician for several years before taking up monasticism. He lived most of the later part of his life near Muni Ki Reti, Rishikesh.
He is the founder of The Divine Life Society (1936), Yoga-Vedanta Forest Academy (1948) and author of over 200 books on yoga, vedanta and a variety of other subjects. He established Sivananda Ashram, the location of the headquarters of The Divine Life Society (DLS), on the bank of the Ganges at Shivanandanagar, at a distance of 3 kilometres from Rishikesh.
Sivananda Yoga, the yoga form propagated by him, are now spread in many parts of the world through Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Centres, but these centres are not affiliated with Swami Sivananda's original ashrams which are run by the Divine Life Society.
