Summary
This revelation of India's best-loved scripture approaches it from an entirely fresh perspective, showing its deep allegorical meaning as well as its down-to-earth practicality. The themes presented are universal: how to achieve victory in life in union with the divine; how to prepare for life's "final exam", death, and what happens afterward; and how to triumph over all pain and suffering.

Insightful!
Deep, very profound and full of useful wisdom. But at the same time, must be absorbed and gathered through moderation, and with mere caution.

The reading
The reader keeps on swallowing his saliver . Very off putting?
The material however is great. I long for it to be read by another reader?

Amazing essence of Spiritual Wisdom
This is not my first reading of Bhagawad Gita.in a book or audible form. Hence I approached this rendering of the essence of Bhagawad Gita with some expectations. While the accent took some time to get used to. Once you settle in with the narration, the deep narrative with examples start taking over. Based on the teaching of Swami Yogananda, the examples and teachings are deeply rooted and full of wisdom. I would strongly recommend this audible book to all Spiritual seekers

Refreshing
This books shows one of the clear contrasts between the abrahamic and eastern faith in the role and nature of good. There is no mention of the angry and vengeful god but the predominant focus is on a form of pseudoscientific explanation for the soul and it's interaction with the body. A nice read for any enthusiast in religion.

The only book worth reading/listening to
A book on how to live, behave and cope with life. Including every imaginable word of wisdom to survive the battlefield of life. This is God's work, the sweetest of divine work, exquisitely narrated by Sri Swami Kriyananda ji

Meditative
So far this year I've listened to this book three times from start to finish and revisited parts of it countless time, yet to get bored of it.
It's dense with brilliant nuggets of wisdom which when taken with the right attitude can't help but improve you as a person/soul.
NB: I'm am, for the lack of a better term an atheist (Or rather anti religion) I believe wisdom of the universe can be found anywhere when seen through clear eyes and a wise mind. This book manages to look at gita not as a gospel but as a collection of ideas on how to live life as a good man.
