Synopsis

Harmony and the Bhagavad-Gita Harmony and the Bhagavad-Gita is the story of our journey and its seemingly cosmic but more often comic mistakes. After my husband and I had explored a mystic and devotional tradition in India, for years we lived in Los Angeles. Longing for something more, we made a leap in the summer of 1999.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Harmony and the Bhagavad-Gita, based on the best selling Bhagavad-Gita As It Is, addresses the questions: What are the Gita's teachings? Are these teachings relevant to me? And if they are, how can I apply them to my life? “A marvelous job ... an inspirational memoir and a pleasant reminder that there is a spiritual side to our existence.” — Five-Star Review, Susan Sewell for Readers' Favorite Bhagavad-Gita, one of the oldest spiritual teachings in existence, guides a community of joyful spiritual pioneers in a pristine valley embraced by mountains and never-ending evergreen forests. This is the true story of a daring family that joins this diverse community of individualists and, along with comic and cosmic challenges, harvests the Gita’s soul-stirring life lessons suited for any time, place, or circumstance. Somehow, as they explore the robust attitudes that lead to harmony and the quiet gift of happiness, this family falls in love with the land, with those who call it home, and with the Bhagavad-Gita’s timely guidance. “Bhagavad-Gita is one of the most beautiful and profound texts of world literature.”  — Octavio Paz, Nobel Prize in Literature "That the spiritual man need not be a recluse, that union with the divine Life may be achieved and maintained in the midst of worldly affairs, that the obstacles to that union lie not outside us but within us — such is the central lesson of the Bhagavad-Gita.”  — Annie Besant, British socialist, theosophist, activist, writer, and orator “Those who meditate on the Gita will derive fresh joy and new meanings from it every day.”  — Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi

Présentation de l'éditeur

In a pristine valley embraced by mountains and the never-ending evergreen forests of British Columbia, Bhagavad-gita, one of the oldest spiritual teachings in existence, guides a community of off-the-grid joyful pioneers. In the silence and expanse of an unlikely but somehow ideal setting, ordinary people explore their tiny role in an incredibly complex and stunningly beautiful network of life that gently yet persistently asks for their awareness. This is the story of a family that joins this diverse community of individualists and harvests soul-stirring, sweeping life lessons suited for any time, place or circumstance. Here is a meditation on provocative wisdom that, in these trying times, offers an enduring basis for personal, ecological and social happiness and harmony. "Bhagavad-gita is one of the most beautiful and profound texts of world literature." Octavio Paz, Nobel Prize in Literature "Bhagavad-gita brings to the West a salutary reminder that our highly activistic and one-sided culture is faced with a crisis that may end in self-destruction because it lacks the inner depth of an authentic metaphysical consciousness." Thomas Merton, Trappist monk and author
