| Paramahansa Yogananda on "The Hidden Truths in the Bhagavad Gita" |
 Continuing our exploration of Paramahansa Yogananda's revelatory interpretations of the great scriptures of East and West, we are pleased to share with you " The Hidden Truths in the Bhagavad Gita," the second installment of " The Hidden Truths in the Scriptures." This selection of passages from God Talks With Arjuna - The Bhagavad Gita, Paramahansaji's highly acclaimed two-volume commentary on India's sacred text, gives an eye-opening glimpse of the Gita's ancient yet very timely wisdom.
"The entire knowledge of the cosmos is packed into the Gita. Supremely profound yet couched in revelatory language... the Gita has been understood and applied on all levels of human endeavor and spiritual striving....Wherever one is on the way back to God, the Gita will shed its light on that segment of the journey." |
