Book Description
This is the main source book on yoga and a concise summary of India's Vedic wisdom. Yet remarkably the setting for this best-known classic of spiritual literature is an ancient Indian battlefield. At the last moment before entering battle the great warrior Arjuna begins to wonder about the real meaning of his life. Why should he fight against his friends and relatives? Why does he exist? Where is he going after death? In the knowledge of the Absolute; devotional service; the three modes of material nature; the divine and demoniac natures; and much more in the world.

Book Description
This is a virtual encyclopedia of yoga meditation and the mystic arts. It brings together in one complete source information that previously took hundreds of books to explain. This edition with elaborate commentary is the most widely read and authoritative translation available to the English-speaking world. Cantos One through Nine as well as Chapters One through Thirteen of the Tenth Canto are the product of the scholarly and devotional effort of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. After Srila Prabhupada departed from this world in 1977 his disciples completed the work by translating the balance of the Tenth Canto along with the entire Eleventh and Twelfth Cantos.
