Joshua M. Greene has taken one of the most venerable and revered
texts of all times -The Bhagavad Gita, and presents it in a completely
new way. Greene reveals that the GIta, which can easily be obtuse to the
modern reader, is really a simple conversation between two friends
about the meaning of life. This fresh new view helps the 21st century
seeker relate to the Gita and offers new ways of understanding this
essential wisdom. The Gita is a discussion between Krishna and his
devoted friend Arjuna on a battlefield known as Kurukshetra, a sprawling
tract of land two hours north of Delhi, India. Scriptural calculations
put the date of this famous discussion at around 3000 BCE. Like all
great literature the Gita explores the human condition: who we are,
where we come from, and why we are here. And as with all great
literature, the more we study the main characters the more real and
human they become. From related works we learn that Krishna and Arjuna
played together as children. They were close friends in youth and became
family when Arjuna married Krishna’s sister. We learn that later in
life they shared extraordinary adventures, including a journey through
subtle pathways to places outside the known universe. Plainly put,
India’s most revered scripture is a heart-to-heart talk between two men
who were closer than brothers and were the best of friends. Above all,
The Sacred Conversation is practical and features a very helpful
glossary in the back for terms, names, and places. Whether you are an
expert on The Bhagavad Gita or a first-time reader, this unique
contribtion to spiritual literature offers deep knowledge in a highly
accessible way.
