Book Description

July 28, 2006
“When a battle is raging within, enemies appear on the outside.” Osho—the provocative spiritual teacher whom novelist Tom Robbins called “the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ”—provides illuminating commentary on the classic Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. His eye-opening interpretation exposes the roots of our contemporary personal and global problems and reveals how the patterns and conditionings of our minds create misery, dilemma, conflict, and war. Most important, Osho offers his timeless solution to the problem by expanding on Krishna’s psychological vision and drawing wisdom from the sacred text.

More About the Author

Osho, known for his revolutionary contribution to the science of inner transformation, continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responsive to the everyday challenges of contemporary life. The Sunday Times of London named him one of the '1,000 Makers of the Twentieth Century,' and novelist Tom Robbins called him 'the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.' For more information about Osho and his work, please visit osho.com.


Osho's teachings defy categorization, covering everything from the individual quest for meaning to the most urgent social and political issues facing individuals and society today.

His unique "Osho Active Meditations" are designed to first release the accumulated stresses of body and mind, so that it is easier to experience the thought-free and relaxed state of meditation. (Meditation -The First and Last Freedom, by Osho)

About his own work Osho has said that he is helping to create the conditions for the birth of a new kind of human being. He has often characterized this new human being as "Zorba the Buddha" -- capable both of enjoying the earthy pleasures of a Zorba the Greek and the silent serenity of a Gautam Buddha.

Running like a thread through all aspects of Osho's work is a vision that encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology.

Osho has been described by the Sunday Times in London as one of the "1000 Makers of the 20th Century" and by American author Tom Robbins as "the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ."

5.0 out of 5 stars Spectacular Reading, Word for Word, Paragraph by Paragraph,, March 28, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Inner War and Peace: Timeless Solutions to Conflict from the Bhagavad Gita (Paperback)
Let's face it, reading the Gita is rather tedious and boring...similar to reading the Bible. The Gita is rather complex in its psychology and it is very easy to lose focus while reading it. What Osho does is bring relevant questions to life. There is no doubt in my mind that this book is worth it's weight in gold. I would like to buy several copies and give them to friends, but not many people are into Gita.

From back cover...A person who himself is eager for war doesn't care whether the opponnent is eager to fight or not. A person who is eager for war is blind. He never looks at the enemy. He only projects the enemy. He doesn't want to look at the enemy-in fact, whomsoever he meets is an enemy for him. He doesn't need to see the enemy; he creates, he projects the enemy. When a battle is raging within, enemies appear on the outside.

Osho's illuminating commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most famous of Hindu scripture, explains how the patterns and conditionings of our mind create pain and misery, dilemma, conflict and war.

Arjuna, the tortured and reluctant hero, speaks with his enlightened mentor, Krishna, on the eve of the Mahabharata war. Throwing brilliant light on Krishna's responses, Osho exposes the roots of our contemporary personal and global problems and proposes his timeless solution.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY good book on "the Ego", July 31, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Inner War and Peace: Timeless Solutions to Conflict from the Bhagavad Gita (Paperback)
This book surprised me. I already have 6 books by Osho but this one is easily the best one I have. I didn't think it would turn out this way, but I would recommend this book to anyone despite the title; because anyone smart enough to read this can benefit from it. Honestly weather you're the "common" man or the "unique" man it makes no difference. Both can benefit from it.

I have tried to get my father, my sister, and my brother to read it, but they all ignore it because of the title. I assume most people who read the title think it's for someone with anger problems. Someone who is emotionally disturbed or seeking answers. If you think that chances are you'd rather drown yourself away in T.V or something fun to read. You probably won't dig very deep if you just judge it by the cover. But dig deep & you will be surprised & even grateful that you read this.

Osho breaks down the Gita step by step and even if you don't know what the Gita is, who wrote it, or what purpose it served (like I did.) you will know all by the end of it. I never knew who Krishna is, or what the Gita was, so you really need no prior knowledge of either to enjoy or understand this. Osho says the Gita was the first psychological book ever written, and that Krishna was the first ever psychologist. After reading the story you'll understand why.

I'm not sure if Krishna just studied himself his whole life, or studied every one, but he was very adapt at finding the root cause of a problem & fixing it. In the story you will see a glimpse of that when he handles Arjunas situation with precision. His methods are somewhat unorthodox (I doubt anyone could recreate them) but he gets away with it. He knows what he is doing somehow, and everyone else is just left guessing.

To sum up the story Arjuna is faced with a problem. He must face his own family & friends in a War and asks Krishna his master (teacher) to give him advice. He is asking for advice all the meanwhile telling Krishna what he will do. So he is not really paying attention. Arjuna represents the common man, and faces problems we all face. [More-so teenagers than adults.] He has an important decision to make, a split decision, and time is running out.

Uncover the mystery, find the solution, and know that we're ALL going through the same struggle.
