God Talks with Arjuna: The Bhagavad Gita (Royal Science of God-Realization)
About This Book
Yogananda's monumental commentary on the Bhagavad Gita — a two-volume work of over 1,000 pages that represents one of the most thorough and spiritually authoritative interpretations of this sacred text ever written in English. Yogananda reads the Gita as a psychological and spiritual allegory in which the battlefield of Kurukshetra represents the human body, and every character represents a quality of consciousness engaged in the inner war between soul and ego.
What You'll Learn
The Bhagavad Gita is not a historical account but a universal psychological allegory — every human being is Arjuna on the battlefield of the inner life, and the divine charioteer Krishna is the Higher Self offering counsel at every moment. The three yogas (Karma, Jnana, Bhakti) are not separate paths but three aspects of one integral practice that must eventually be integrated for liberation. Nishkama karma — action without attachment to results, offered to the Divine — is the most widely applicable spiritual practice for householders.
