I have tried to get through several translations of The Bhagavad Gita, and this is the first that I was able to understand enough to pose questions in my mind, and to contemplate the greater meaning. The language of the others I have attempted to read was just out of my reach. Highly recommend this version for western ears 😊

An accessible, complete experience

Thank you. This book is one of my favorite.
One of my friend from India told me about the message of the book.
We should teach this material in the schools. Everybody would be happier if we would study this eastern philosophy. 🧘🏼🪷🫶🏻

A must to read often 🫶🏻💓🫶🏻

Thank you Jack Hawley for your journey and for your dedication to unpacking the Bhagavad Gita to bring to us westerners. A wonderful audible production indeed. Every word heard.

I’d recommend this to all & in particular to aspiring yogis and teachers of spirituality and anyone who tried to read a version of the Gita and couldn’t really get into it - you’ll get into it listening to this a few times :-)

As I walk down my path of spirituality I try and get my hands on as many spiritual books as possible. I tried another version of the Gita and really struggled with it, to the point I didn’t get very far. Then my wife told me about Jack Hawley’s book and it was incredible. It was a perfect book for me and I look forward to listening to it again as I continue to put the Gita into practice

Amazing interpretation

The book was great. It does a good job of trying to put you in a state of mind conducive to receiving the messages. However, you can hear the author/narrator, turning the pages of the book which I found distracting.

Great spiritual teachings

This was my first time hearing the complete Bhagavad Gita. What a pleasure to listen to and to be able to pause and listen to the nuggets that called for contemplation. Just hearing it felt like an uplifting cleansing and infusion of higher wisdom.

Words cannot express the beautiful expression of God I learned about within this book but I will attempt to write what I enjoyed.

For nearly 6 years I studied scripture, attempting to better my life and to become a sound and stable person. Each time I went to church, opened my Bible or listened to a sermon, I did in fact grow but never fully understood the relationship with God I had developed.

It was not until I found yoga Nidra teachings and through miraculous chance that I heard of the Gita. Living with disabilities and feeling void of worth, I rushed to the Gita and decided on this book because I am living as a Westerner.

While I listened to this ancient text, there was no fear, pressure or feeling of judgement upon me like there was in my earlier studies. At other times of the Gita, I became overwhelmed by a profound sensation of pure bliss. During some points of the book, I was performing as Krishna described for how one is to merge with God.

This book reminded me about why I want to live a peaceful life and helped to developed a solid understanding of knowing that I am God and of God who serves God. The Gita gently opened my eyes to be surely convinced of my faith. I also see the teachings reflect through my actions. This translation contains the purpose of my being in a way that makes me eternally grateful for life. I plan to listen repeatedly.
