The Poetry of the Bhagavad Gita

Posted by Linda Sue Grimes Jun 29, 2008

The Mahabharata is thought to be the longest epic poem ever written. The Bhagavad Gita is an important part of that extended epic, and the Gita is often extolled as the “Hindu Bible.”

With Paramahansa Yogananda’s two-volume set of the translation of the Gita titled God Talks to Arjuna, the world experienced for the first time a detailed explication of the poetry of the Gita.

Then in 2007, Self-Realization Fellowship issued Paramahansa Yogananda’s The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita. This important condensation serves as a useful summary and introduction to Yogananda’s classic work titled God Talks to Arjuna.
