Universal Message of the Bhagavad Gita Vol. 2

Among the several modern commentaries on the Gita, this one is unique in that it is both down-to-earth and fascinatingly erudite. In explaining every verse, the author relates its real connotation and significance not only to what Shankaracharya said in his introduction to the Gita, or how Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda interpreted it in terms of practical Vedanta, but also how it conforms to the thinking of some of the greatest Greek philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. The author weaves every verse into the requirements of modern life and throws light on how man should lead his life while involved in his daily chores and fulfill his duties in accordance with the philosophy of action as taught by Sri Krishna.
