Reading this book is something i chose to do because, i'm beginning to become very interested in Krishna Consciousness. I know that this book will lead me to knowledge, and the spiritual part of the intelligent world, outside of this material world i presently live in.
Bhagavad-gita: A Photographic Essay: A visual guide to the world's greatest spiritual dialog
By Visakha Dasi, A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
*Independent Publisher's Book Award Winner *
A fully illustrated, award-winning summary study of the world's best selling Bhagavad-gita.
Acclaimed by scholars for its authenticity, clarity, and brilliant photographs, Bhagavad-gita: A Photographic Essay reveals and brings to life the Gita's spiritual wisdom and its beautiful themes of harmony and purpose, work and attitude, love and reciprocation. We're challenged and inspired through its answers to probing questions: What is my identity beyond the body and mind? What is my purpose? How can I be satisfied while in the midst of a turbulent world? Why is life worth living? What happens after death?
"In this world," the Gita boldly declares, "there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge. Such knowledge is the mature fruit of all mysticism." For those who dare to align their consciousness with that of the Divine's, the Gita's wisdom offers a fulfilling life of inner serenity, balance, and love. In Bhagavad-gita: A Photographic Essay, the depth, resonance, and potency of the original Sanskrit text remains intact as it calls upon each of us to fulfill our highest potential.
"The ancient, yet universally relevant message to the Gita is extended to us in the modern world through Visakha's clearly articulated understand along with her powerful photographic expression of its message." -- Graham M. Schweig, Ph.D., Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley
"In this publication, we have an extraordinary opportunity to comprehend the Gita as it has been historically understood within its own sacred tradition." -- Howard J. Resnick, Ph.D., Harvard University
"By blending an easy-to-read and highly accessible synopsis of the text with relevant and usefully placed photographs, Visakha has highlighted the essential philosophical points and made them relevant to the modern context." -- Edwin Bryant, Ph.D., Rutgers University
