    About this audiobook

    The Bhagavad Gita has been called India's greatest contribution to the world. For more than five thousand years, this great scripture has shown millions in the East how to fill their lives with serenity and love. In these pages, Jack Hawley brings these ancient secrets to Western seekers in a beautiful prose version that makes the story of the Gita clear and exciting, and makes its truths understandable and easy to apply to our busy lives. The Gita is a universal love song sung by God to His friend man. It can't be confined by any creed. It is a statement of the truths at the core of what we all already believe, only it makes those truths clearer, so they become immediately useful in our daily lives. These truths are for our hearts, not just our heads. The Gita is more than just a book, more than mere words or concepts. There is an accumulated potency in it. To read the Gita is to be inspired in the true sense of the term: to be “inspirited,” to inhale the ancient and ever-new breath of spiritual energy.

      I grew up Christian but have been questioning my beliefs the last few years. This is way deeper and makes more sense out of life than anything Christianity ever taught.

      Book to how to live our lives -
      This book opened my eyes wide enough, how to see this materialist world. Jack did his best to interpret the book as easy as possible to western people. It inner engineers you and bring your inner soul to life.

      Hare Krsna!
      Thanks Jack

      I really enjoyed listening to this and I will listen again in due time. I have read 4 other versions of the Gita and did not receive as much clarity with those presentations as I have with this listening. I appreciated the personal story of the author too. It made the message just that much mor real. Thank you

      This translation of the Gita is by far my favorite,
      it just comes to life and is so easy and pleasant to listen to. The reader takes it above and beyond, though, he’s just AMAZING. Such beautiful work! I will listen again and again.

      This is the first time I have read/heard the Bagavad Gita. I enjoyed the narration but missed out on many Sanskrit words which I will pick up from reading the Gita. I am confident I got the essence of the very well narrated version of the Gita.
