Hi Alexandra, thank you kindly for your warm greetings!!☺ I wanted to share with you that I was privileged with the opportunity of visiting one of the SRF's temples today and came across the book "The Yoga of the Bhagavad Gita", by Yoganandaji. The following is the praise for Paramahansa Yogananda's commentary on the Bhagavad Gita by The Quest: "This monumental translation and commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, by one of India's illustrious sants, breaks new ground....Yogananda explores the science of yoga encrypted in the Gita...and the way this ancient discipline makes possible the direct experience of God. In simple but eloquen language, he sets forth a sweeping chronicle."--The Quest.
Are you familiar with the Bhagavad Gita, Alesandra? I have not really dedicated time to truly learn about it but look forward to remedying that this year!☺ I read in the book: "The Bhagavad Gita is the most beloved scripture of India, a scripture of scriptures. It is the Hindu's Holy Testament, or Bible, the one book that all masters depend upon as a supreme source of scriptural authority. Bhagavad Gita means "Song of the Spirit," the divine communion of truth-realization between man and his Creator, the teachings of Spirit through the soul, that should be sung unceasingly..." -Yoganandaji...Perhaps we might have other people to enlingten us on this..?!!☺ Thanks again!!☺

The Srimad Bhagavad Gita has been my spiritual guide for many years. I first heard about it in the SRF Center in San Juan, Puerto Rico. But I would become interested in it after listening to a conference at the Theosophical Society in Puerto Rico back in the 1963 or 1964.

The Gita is an allegorical dialogue between man (Arjuna) and God (Bhagavan Krishna). It summarizes in a magnificent way the teachings of the Sanatana Veda Dharma. The Srimad Bhagavad Gita does insist in two important things: God abides in each and everyone of us, and God can be known through the power of Love.

►"God can be known through the power of Love."<---Amen to this!!☺

I have always believed The Bhagavad Gita as an attempt to make wisdom accessible for those who are not monks or overly learned sort of like the sermon on the mount.

I would humbly say, interesting observation, Maurice-☺. Thanks!!☺
