The Easy Bhagavad-Gita

by Koti Sreekrishna and Hari Ravikumar

Overview

Two friends have a conversation at the outset of an epic war. One of them, Arjuna, is sad and confused in the face of imminent doom; the other, Krishna, decides to cheer him up and clear his doubts. Through the course of their battlefield dialogue Krishna assumes the role of a mentor and inspires Arjuna, teaching him the timeless wisdom of the ‘Bhagavad-Gita’.

Krishna's universal message applies to the whole of human life, for it is an extension of his colorful, multi-dimensional personality: king, warrior, strategist, statesman, philosopher, musician, charmer, and above all a joyful participant in the game of life.

The Easy Bhagavad-Gita is so exceedingly easy that a 5000 year-old discourse feels intimate, accessible, and contemporary. And it is a great place to start if one wants to know about India’s grand heritage, religion, art, culture, philosophy, and spirituality.
