I loved this book。 Very clear commentary, beautiful translation。
jackie,
I will totally own that these are two white yoga and meditation teachers writing a book about an ancient text to me: a white lady。 That being said, this is a great way to apply the principles and lessons from the Gītā to Western thought。 I loved this translation because of that and definitely gained new applications of the text; this is probably my fifth time reading a version of the Gītā。 As an ashtanga yoga practitioner, there’s also so much to apply to the practice as Freeman and Taylor are O I will totally own that these are two white yoga and meditation teachers writing a book about an ancient text to me: a white lady。 That being said, this is a great way to apply the principles and lessons from the Gītā to Western thought。 I loved this translation because of that and definitely gained new applications of the text; this is probably my fifth time reading a version of the Gītā。 As an ashtanga yoga practitioner, there’s also so much to apply to the practice as Freeman and Taylor are OGs。 I love how discerning and humble they communicate all they’ve learned。 You definitely don’t need to be a yogi to read this。 So many takeaways。 。。。more
Paul,
This is very good。 I'll leave it to other to provide a detailed review。 I'll just say that the authors have done a nice job of bring the Gita up to date and providing explanation and context, especially if you've never read the Gita。 Even if you have, you may get a deeper understanding。 Recommended。Thanks very much for the ARC for review!!
