Introduction - The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda

Part 1 - http://www.crystalclarity.com/product.php?code=BEBPB The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda as remembered by his disciple, Swami Kriyananda. This book shares the profound insights of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, as remembered by one of his few remaining direct disciples, Swami Kriyananda.

This revelation of India's best-loved scripture approaches it from an entirely fresh perspective, showing its deep allegorical meaning and also its down-to-earth practicality. The themes presented are universal: how to achieve victory in life in union with the divine; how to prepare for life's "final exam," death, and what happens afterward; how to triumph over all pain and suffering.

Swami Kriyananda worked with Paramhansa Yogananda in 1950 while the Master completed his commentary of the Bhagavad Gita. At that time Yogananda commissioned him to disseminate his teachings world-wide. Kriyananda has in his lifetime lectured, taught, and written over one hundred books based on Yogananda's teachings.

The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita is available from Crystal Clarity Publishers.

i come to religion and eastern ideas, to find peece, or seek peace. not war. so i think you are mistaken...it seems you are looking for war, not peace...in meditation in prayer i seek peace...not war...you have let me down...

i can find battle, and war, and so on , anywhere...

?...

@stephgadda The Bhagavad Gita is about the inner war we all fight to overcome our lower qualities. Only then will we have the lasting inner peace of God consciousness. Please, watch this video again. In no way shape of form is Swami Kriyananda advocating war in any of these videos.

Is there a good English translation available anywhere?

[AnandaWorldwide]

@TAMYCRON

I don't quite understand what you mean by English translation. Do you mean a book? If so, the book Swami Kriyananda is talking about in these talks is The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita: Explained by Paramhansa Yogananda, As Remembered by His Disciple, Swami Kriyananda.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti! What a beautiful soul Swamiji is! Thank you so much for this commentary about the Gita.

Peace and Blessings.

I read Bhagavad Gita as you start reading it feels like a War Story of a great General uplifting his solider. There are a lot of good metaphors to be gained from it but it is not the deepest and does not offer a complete understanding of Mankind internally. the Nag Hammadi offers a more to me but in combination they are more effective, the greatest values/teachings from each of the ancient beliefs may prove most effective. Still this is a good video

@SirSmokeALot667 thanx for your enlightment..... namaste frm india

[mikkeljs]

@NinetiesYouth What I mean is, that giving up sexuality will always feel like getting a castration every day. One can learn to "appreciate" the feeling of castration over time, but it will still feel the same.

[NinetiesYouth]

@mikkeljs I didn't understand that

[mikkeljs]

@NinetiesYouth I thought EXACTLY the same thing. Untill I discovered that it wasnt that kind of "peace" peace, I had to find. More likely a "fucking hell peace", its not emotionally pleasant, but entirely perceptional, which ultimately is nothing but words, associations and reaction patterns...

[jasmitsingh1993]

This is not Paramhansa Yogananda narrating video...

[SirSmokeALot667]

The GITA tells the truth BUT not the absolute truth.

If you read it carefully you will understand that there is NO GUILT, because all souls in every dimension of matter are in MAYA and controlled by the three gunas.

There is NO GUILT, because the souls do not act. The gunas make them to.

Reincarnation (guilt) is MAYA.

This is the problem of the krishna community.

They are stuck in a "guilt-dogma" which is part of the illusion.

Read, think for yourself and become really free!

Namaste :)
