Bhagavad Gita Overview for Yogis - Part 1
Bhagavad Gita Overview for Yogis - Part 1
Yogis who read the Bhagavad Gita for the first time can be in for a very bumpy ride, if they did not grow up in a cultural setting wherein these concepts were more commonly discussed. It is a challenging read even for those familiar with the contents, which is why it rewards reading again and again. This guide is meant to provide some help before the new yogi dives into more confusion than they can immediately handle without some context.
The Gita is not only an incredible sacred text for yogis, but is a treasure for the whole world. It's one of the most cherished contributions to world literature, and it's influence has gone beyond Hindus or even Yogis. But perhaps the most special thing about this wonderful book is that it has something to offer everyone: spiritual seekers, appreciators of sacred poetry, everyday people looking for ways to determine what action to take when confused (and how to take it), and -- of course -- yogis.
You'll leave your reading experience with a drastically expanded definition of what it means to "do yoga" after reading the Gita, and hopefully this guide helps you to deepen your understanding of that expanded defition of yoga. You'll learn more about how the Gita contains a way of seeing the world with a new dimension of "the divine" you may not have considered before. You'll be introduced to new ways of looking at the relationships between people and their shared world. You'll learn about the fascinating (and profound) way of looking at the deepest inner "Self" as described and defined in this work.
