About this title

Synopsis

Rarely in a lifetime does a new spiritual classic appear that has the power to change people's lives and transform future generations. This is such a book. The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita shares the profound insights of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, as remembered by his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda. This commentary unlocks the Gita's depthless wisdom with striking clarity, inspiration, and hope for a modern audience.

About the Author

SWAMI KRIYANANDA became a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda’s in 1948. His great guru trained him for a life of editing, writing, and lecturing to disseminate the teachings of Kriya Yoga worldwide. He has given thousands of lectures in many countries, written over eighty-five books, and composed over 400 pieces of uplifting music. Kriyananda is the founder of Ananda Sangha, a worldwide organization which disseminates Yogananda’s teachings. In 1968 he founded a spiritual cooperative community which has expanded to eight communities and ashrams in the United States, Europe, and India based on Yogananda’s ideal of "world brotherhood colonies."

Kriyananda was recently appointed to membership in the prestigious Club of Budapest, joining such luminaries as the Dalai Lama. He lives in Gurgaon, India.
