3.0 out of 5 stars Theosophical Society and Bhagavadgita, January 22, 2005

By	Rama Rao "Rama" (Annandale, VA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bhagavad-Gita combined with Essays on the Gita (Paperback)

Bhagavadgita, the holy book of Hinduism has been studied and commentaries written upon by gurus, monks, academics, Christian scholars and by organizations such as ISKCON, Theosophical Society, Vedanta Society, etc. In this book the author gives theosophical society's point of view of Bhagavadgita. Considering the fact the theosophical society is interested in both theology and philosophy of Gita, the author's commentaries reflects this in spirit and tone; the author discusses how a man who perfects himself in devotion finds himself in the progress of time, and in the 5th chapter he discusses the fruit of renunciation. If you are serious about the philosophy of Bhagavadgita, there are several excellent books, but if are interested in theology and theosophical society's views of Bhagavadgita, this is your book.
