The Holy Geeta by Swami Chinmayananda

The best commentary on Geeta ever. It states the truth of Advaita Vedanta - the very purpose for which Geeta was expounded. Please do not make the mistake of misinterpreting this invaluable scripture.Swami Chinmayanada's commentary is both accessible and accurate. Look for no other translations.

Reading this book, remembered the 1960's when I had opportunity to listen to Chinmayananda's discourses on Geeta while in Kerala. Swamy's ability to pierce into the minds of audience using wit and wisdom is baffling. He developed Geeta Gyan Yagyas he conducted the world over, classrooms for imparting heritage wisdom of India.For those who missed the opportunity to listen to him direct, this book is a blessing.Many of Chinmaya's disciples are continuing the tradition of conveying the Divine Message through structured discourses across the world. Acharyas like Doraiswamy Shastrigal did lay the foundation on which Chinmayananda and others built the schools of Bhagavad Geeta.

Take a dip in the ocean of joy in the Holy Geeta and find the hidden treasure; and realize the difference between the earthly jewels and the Divine Jewels! Drink the nectar of Shree Krishna's teachings beautifully elucidated by Pujya Swami Chinmayananda in impeccable English.

Salutations to the feet of Krishna! Salutations to the feet of Vyaasa! Salutations to the feet of Swami Chinmayananda!I am unqualified to review the guru, and I dare not review the divine song (or any other religious texts for that matter; in my short exposure to Hindu spiritual texts, I have come to believe that ALL spiritual texts are saying something deep, that only the sincere seeker can grasp).That said, take this holy nectar translated by Shri guruji if you are inclined to see similarity over differences, unity over diversity and universality over individuality- because this is an advaitic interpretation of her, that, to the very core, accepts the statement: ekam sat vipraah bahudha vadanti (the truth is one, the wise speak of it in many ways). If you want to explore her, do explore her with the sincere mind of a seeker. Please exercise all rationality- Do question what is said, and think deeply about it, but do not approach with an intent of blindly critiquing her- because if you do so, you have simply wasted your money!Remember that she is a moksha shastra who can gently hold your hand and lead you to your fulfillment. Though you can use her for inspirational messages, she's not really meant for that, and she's certainly not meant to help you in planning and strategizing your war with the outside world! (your spiritual quest is yours, and yours alone- and she will be of incalculable help in this lonely quest of yours!) Guruji gives a flow to her in his translation, where each verse leads to another, and subtle differences in apparent similarity of verses are spread out to give a broader perspective.All Upanishads are a cow, the cowherd is the lord himself, the calf is Arjuna (and all the spiritual seekers), and the milk- she is holy Gita!

Book was in amazing condition ,fully satisfied . Hari Om

I had to give it a 5 star rating because I'm constrained to that. There's not much to speak about it. Once you dive deep into this ocean, you'll be lost in eternal knowledge.However, I would like to request you to use simpler language for it to be more comprehensive and be acceptable for even a larger crowd. Hare Krishna!!
