This was my introduction to the Bhagavad Gita. I bought it two weeks ago and have not stopped listening to it. I take it on my walk with me everyday. It keeps me centered throughout the day. Deepak's voice is heavenly, the classical Indian music is hauntingly beautiful, and the verses are,of course, sacred! I have since bought Yogananda's translation of the Gita and can honestly say this sacred text is changing my life. My love to Deepak for this introduction.

This is a wonderful rendition of the Bhagavad Gita--I have listened to it almost daily for many years. Deepak Chopra has a beautiful, calming voice, and the accompanying music is perfectly matched to both his voice and the text. The first half of the first tape explains how the sounds of sacred texts (and all words) have the power to change you from a spiritual level. And the rest of the two tapes are filled with Mr. Chopra reading Chapters 1 through 13. I wish he would record the rest of the 18 chapters!

I have read several different versions of the Gita over the years, and always come back to this--I've worn out several sets of tapes already! I was raised Catholic, and have been a spiritual seeker most of my life, reading and studying the sacred texts of a number of spiritual traditions. What I've found is that the Bhagavad Gita (and in particular, this version) distills the main components of all the others into an easily understandable and practical format for daily living. It is said that the answer to any problem can be found in the Gita, and so far, I have found this to be true. Do yourself a favor, and give this a listen!

This is utter junk. This guy smoked 60 cigarates a day - the hypocrite was a 'doctor' - how can he do that to his own health and be some sort of 'guru' for others. And now the born again guru/donkey wants to tell the world what life is all about through following voodoo techniques...hidden in 'ancient mystery' of course. He talks so much utter 'air' THAT trying to 'grab' and actually practically apply one these spiritual laws to one life is like jumping out of a plan on LSD and convincing yourself you can fly...that's until you die - very fast. This new age stuff is the same thing as LSD ACID tripping but packaged under a spiritual 'surrender your body and soul' fast-food type solve all your problems-in-nip junk. Remember: junk in = junk out. This guy should apply for a job at McDonalds - he'd feel right at home with those lot.
