Review

Thank you Ted Cox for this gift to the world!" --Desiree Rumbaugh

Ted L. Cox offers commentary on the Gita called, Warrior Self: Unlocking the Promise of the Bhagavad Gita. Like any poem, the experience of it lies not in the clarification but in the muddiness of the meaning. How many times can one read a line or a stanza and see something new? That is the pleasure contained in the verse. Cox obviously takes pleasure in this poem. He is a Bhagavan, or a lover of the Gita and of the pursuit of the meaning of life. You can tell it by the careful detail he has taken in his interpretation of the poem. His background is not of a Sanskrit scholar or a Hindu mythologist. He is not an English professor paid by the multi-syllabic words he can string together. He is someone who was profoundly transformed by the power of these words. If you are a devoted student of the Gita, you will enjoy Warrior Self. It belongs on the bookshelf next to Poised for Grace, another interpretation by Dr. Douglas Brooks. Where some scholars have created interpretations as cloaked in mystery as the poem itself, Cox has endeavored to make his interpretation accessible. Who knows? Warrior Self might make even a casual reader a junkie like the rest of us. --Michelle Marchildon

Ted Cox has written a magnificent commentary on the Bhagavad Gita! His insights are brilliant. Through the clarity of his writing these timeless teachings come alive and are accessible to all. As we apply these insights to our daily lives we begin the process of transformation that the Bhagavad Gita offers. Cox elucidates Krishna's step-by-step teachings of letting go of who we used to be, living in the present moment without resistance, and living in the world from the quality of our soul: our true Warrior SELF. This book is an exciting companion and a great light on the spiritual path for all yoga teachers and heartfelt practitioners. --Betsey Downing, PhD. ERYT-500
