B HAGAVAD
t he Bhagavad-gîtå is India’s most con-
cise expression of the perennial philoso-
phy. Speaking directly to the soul, it pin-
points the cause of all suffering—material
attachment—and offers a remedy to this com-
mon human malady: the paths of right liveli-
hood, mystic insight, devotion, and ultimately
unconditional love. In this edition, Swåmî B. V.
Tripuråri comments on the Gîtå ’s philosophy
in contemporary language, making it both
traditional and contemporary at once.
Swåmî B. V. Tripuråri unveils this hidden
message in the spirit of the Gau∂îya Vedånta
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 K®ß√a as he
sings the Gîtå . Bhagavad-gîtå: Its Feeling and Phi-
losophy is a full-featured, traditional rendering,
including the original Devanagari (Sanskrit)
lettering, transliteration, word-for-word analy-
sis, and English translation. While traditional
in form and spirit, Swåmî B. V. Tripuråri ’s lucid
commentary and contemporary spiritual insight
make this edition of the Bhagavad-gîtå highly
readable.
Swåmî ’s commentary takes the reader
from verse to verse, chapter to chapter, reveal-
ing the systematic nature of the Gîtå such that
this timeless spiritual classic reads almost like a
best-selling novel—the story of our own life’s
potential to live in the light of God’s love.

THE STORY OF OUR OWN LIFE’S POTENTIAL

“The most arresting new Gita …a kind of postgraduate course in the cultural,
metaphysical, and spiritual teachings inherent in this ancient treasure.”
—Yoga Journal
riter, poet, and Hindu monas-
tic, Swåmî B. V. Tripuråri has become
the contemporary voice of devotional
Vedånta. Swåmî has written ten books
and innumerable articles. He divides
his time between his two sustainable
communities: Madhuvan, a 150-acre
yoga retreat and monastery in the tropi-
cal jungle of Costa Rica, and Audarya, a
ridgetop monastery in the redwood for-
est of northern California.
“This Gita is also unique in that its verse-by-verse commentary draws on
other Hindu literature to more fully explore the characters of Arjuna and
Krishna, as well as the relationship between them. This determination to
study the Gita in the larger context of Hindu devotional writing distinguishes
Swami Tripurari’s edition from the rest of the pack.”
— Publishers Weekly
“Swami Tripurari captures the intellectual and emotional components of the
Bhagavad-gita in a way that makes for compelling and enlightening reading.
Both new and experienced students of this classic text will ind this edition
rich and rewarding—a veritable world of unprecedented thought.”
—Steven J. Rosen, author of Krishna’s Song: A New Look
at the Bhagavad-gita and founding editor of the
Journal of Vaishnava Studies
