About the authors
-
Sri Swami Satchidananda was one of the first Yoga masters to bring the classical Yoga tradition to the West. He taught Yoga postures, meditation, and a vegetarian and more compassionate lifestyle to Westerners when he was invited to America in 1966 by the iconic pop artist Peter Max. The distinctive teachings he brought with him blend the physical discipline of Yoga, the spiritual philosophy of Vedic literature, and the interfaith ideals he pioneered. These techniques and concepts influenced a generation and a spawned Yoga culture that is flourishing today. The organization founded on his teachings, Integral Yoga International, is now a leading institute for Yoga teacher certification. Integral Yoga is the foundation for Dr. Dean Ornish's landmark work in reversing heart disease and Dr. Michael Lerner's noted Commonweal Cancer Help program. He is the author of many books on Yoga and is the subject of the 2008 documentary, Living Yoga.

1) It directly presents the shlokas in very simple English (so we can understand it)
2) Then explains Why Krishna/Arjuna recited that shloka
3) Then explains how it relates to us in general (in case of some important shlokas)
I always wanted to read a scripture that is an easy read, and I can understand the reasons behind the shlokas. This book is suitable in that sense.
We are losing the essence of our religion only because most of the great books are still in their original heavy duty form.
Unless we know the purpose behind the shlokas and how it relates to us, what is the point?
So, I generally tend Not to go into heavy duty books, since I would not be able finish even the first chapter in that case.
...
Thankfully, I bought the Kindle version, and I actually add my own notes of what I should or should not do in my own life, based on the knowledge gained from the important shlokas.
Or I can even just highlight a shloka.
I can bookmark the important pages.
This will help me re-read just the important parts later on, when I feel like reading the book again. :)
With the Kindle papaerwhite (with wifi), Kindle readability (with brightness adjustment) & usage is cool too. Its light weight and small size makes it far more suitable for reading than my Ipad. :)
But overall, a good read, especially for Gita-beginners.
