Editorial Reviews

Review

“Blessed brilliance and luminous heart wisdom—Ram Dass at his best. These lectures were joyous to attend and exquisite to read.” —Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart

“With wisdom, humor, and great compassion, Paths to God illuminates the liberating power of the Gita—a rare gift in these unsettled times.” —Joseph Goldstein, author of One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism

“Through offering a wide variety of approaches to spiritual happiness, Paths to God is one of the most inclusive and inviting books available to us.” —Sharon Salzberg, author of Faith: Trusting Your Own Deepest Experience

From the Inside Flap

For centuries, readers have turned to the Bhagavad Gita for inspiration and guidance as they chart their own spiritual paths. As profound and powerful as this classic text has been for generations of seekers, integrating its lessons into the ordinary patterns of our lives can ultimately seem beyond our reach. Now, in a fascinating series of reflections, anecdotes, stories, and exercises, Ram Dass gives us a unique and accessible road map for experiencing divinity in everyday life. In the engaging, conversational style that has made his teachings so popular for decades, Ram Dass traces our journey of consciousness as it is reflected in one of Hinduism's most sacred texts. The Gita teaches a system of yogas, or "paths for coming to union with God."
In "Paths to God, Ram Dass brings the heart of that system to light for a Western audience and translates the Gita's principles into the manual for living the yoga of contemporary life.
While being a guide to the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, "Paths to God is also a template for expanding our definition of ourselves and allowing us to appreciate a new level of meaning in our lives.

Very complex

It was not what I expected but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought it would be a more literal interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita. If you like Ram Dass, you'll probably like this.

An understanding at last.

I enjoyed reading this book and learning so much about the Bhagavad Gita. I have been interest in just what is the story here. Having Ram Dass as a guide was a great experience.Eastern religions have a vial of mystery about them that we in the West just do not understand. With a guide that does understand translate for me made reading a spiritual journey that I would recommend to all students on the Spiritual Path.

Real advice for real lives

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Short reviews are probably more often read, though I have so much to say about this book...

I'll keep it simple: Ram Dass comes from a Western tradition (Harvard, psychiatry) so he knows what our cynical, anxious minds are receptive to--and that's not mumbo jumbo and big promises. He depends on logic to convince his reader that there are practical ways in which to lead a disciplined, happy life using the Gita as a backbone. This book, though, is not really about the Gita, so much as it is about the themes in it, themes that are perennial to all enlightened paths.

If you are willing to step just a little outside your comfort zone to learn ideas that may first rub you wrong, such as how and why to practice renunciation--but who would ever want to give up a habit that affords us comfort? (You'll see.) You also, obviously need to practice what he preaches (or shares, really). This is such a thoughtful and helpful book, but as always, you have to do the work yourself. But the plan is so readily apparent that your only excuse for not incorporating at least *parts* of this text in your life is a sheer lack of will power--a stubborn refusal to transcend doubt and insecurity.

One of the most influential books on my lifestyle and thought process. Highly recommended. Whereas Be Here Now is easily seen a beautifully written, provocative but esoteric coffee table book, Paths to God is simple, honest, straightforward and friendly.

and this is one of the best books I have read in a long time

April 2, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have looked into the path for some time now, and this is one of the best books I have read in a long time. Tremendous insight, thorough view, clarity, even ease of manner pointing to the fact that we all need to "let go" of just about everything, including the path! Must read, if you are truly "looking".

Fun to read and see pics from the 60-70s and his class syllabus. Ram Dass's commentaries still applicable today. Melds contemporary examples with ancient texts. Appreciate his take on psychedelics as well. A classic. Understandable.Good to read along with more traditional or actual translations with commentaries of the Gita/sanskrit.

This was a surprise, a very good work on spirituality and the wisdom of the Gita from a Non-Indian. Wisdom is timeless and ... without boundaries of gender, ethnicity, nationality.
