Book Reviews of Paths to God: Living the Bhagavad Gita
Book Review: good for the general reader
Summary: 4 Stars
i'm not a specialist in hindu thought nor have i read the bhagavad gita. i read the book to get a feel for ram dass, his interpretation of the gita and to get a different viewpoint from the christian, materialist worldview that has surrounded me most of my life. i think the book does a good job of getting the reader a glimpse of a very different reality experienced by people that are much more intuitive and in touch with a reality of a network of human spirits rather than a mass of flesh and desire. there are also some nice tie-ins showing the universal truths that are shared by all the major religions. I've been reading the book on and off for about a year now. There's plenty of competition for my attention so I think there's some meat here to get you to think in a different way.
Summary of Paths to God: Living the Bhagavad Gita
For centuries, readers have turned to the Bhagavad Gita for inspiration and guidance as they chart their own spiritual paths. As profound and powerful as this classic text has been for generations of seekers, integrating its lessons into the ordinary patterns of our lives can ultimately seem beyond our reach. Now, in a fascinating series of reflections, anecdotes, stories, and exercises, Ram Dass gives us a unique and accessible road map for experiencing divinity in everyday life. In the engaging, conversational style that has made his teachings so popular for decades, Ram Dass traces our journey of consciousness as it is reflected in one of Hinduism's most sacred texts. The Gita teaches a system of yogas, or "paths for coming to union with God."In Paths to God, Ram Dass brings the heart of that system to light for a Western audience and translates the Gita's principles into the manual for living the yoga of contemporary life.
While being a guide to the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Paths to God is also a template for expanding our definition of ourselves and allowing us to appreciate a new level of meaning in our lives.
