The Bhagavad Gita is the most concise expression of the perennial philosophy. Speaking directly to the soul, it pinpoints the cause of all suffering-- materail attachment-- and offers a remedy to this common human malady: the paths of right livelihood, mystic insight, devotion, and ultimately unconditional love. In this edition, Swami B.V. Tripurari comments on the Gita's philosophy in contemporary language, making it both traditional and contemporary at once. 

Swami B.V. Tripurari unveils this hidden message in the spirit of the Guadiya Vedanta tradition. His commentary represents this lineage's deep spiritual insight in a postmodern light by affording the reader a startling glimpse into the subjective perspective of krsna as he sings the Gita.
