The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living, Second Edition (3 Vol. Set)

3 Volume Set Indias timeless and most practical scripture, set on a battlefield in a mythic war between good and evil, has pragmatic advice for modern times. It is a manual for everyone who aims for goodness in a world of conflict and change. This verse-by-verse translation and commentary illustrates the Gitas lofty insight with everyday events and contemporary problems familiar to all of us. Full of insights, stories and practical spiritual exercises, each volume of this set covers six chapters of the Gita and can be read on its own. The three volumes of The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living together form a comprehensive manual for living a spiritual life. VOLUME I: THE END OF SORROW The End of Sorrow, the first volume of The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living, concentrates on the individual: the nature of our innermost Self, how it can be discovered in the depths of consciousness and how this discovery transforms daily life. The introduction includes instructions in Easwarans universal method of passage meditation. VOLUME II: LIKE A THOUSAND SUNS Like a Thousand Suns, the second volume of The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living, bridges scientific knowledge, spiritual understanding and the indivisible unity governing all creations. Easwaran illustrates the steps we can take to realise this unity and heal divisions within society and in ourselves. VOLUME III: TO LOVE IS TO KNOW ME To Love Is to Know Me, the third volume of The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living, is global in scope but its emphasis is on individuals: what you and I can do. Easwaran presents life as a field where actions and desires are sown like seeds, which germinate, grow and yield fruits that eventually scatter more seeds. This vast network of cause and effect is what the Sanskrit word Karma denotes, and Easwaran offers many examples to illustrate its immense reach and how everyday choices, taken together, can lead a society to violence and waste or to a higher way of living.
