The Yoga of the Bhagavat Gita

The Bhagavad Gita is nowadays acknowledged as one of the world's great spiritual classics. Many translations and

commentaries have been written about it from many diverse points of view - monist and dualist; pantheist and theist.



This commentary by Sri Krishna Prem is written with his experience that "the Gita is based on direct knowledge of

Reality, and of the Path that leads to that Reality." His perspective and interpretation is that the Gita is a textbook

of Yoga, by which he means "the Path by which man unites his finite self with Infinite Being."



Sri Krishna Prem (1898-1965) was born Ronald Henry Nixon in England and became a widely acclaimed saint in

India. When he passed away in 1965, he was hailed by then President of India Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan as a "great

soul" or mahatma.



His interpretation of the Gita is not only inspiring and thought provoking but also a helpful guide to all spiritual seekers.
