Ascent with Gita

325 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Gita acts as a spiritual tether for millions of people across the world. Arohan: Ascent with Gita enables the modern reader to access the timeless wisdom of Hinduism's most precious text. On the banks of the Narmada, a nameless monk and a cynical businessman meet by chance and the unlikely pair embarks on a pilgrimage of Omkareshwar's parikrama path. The conversation that unfolds on their journey together illuminates the truths of Gita - the cyclical nature of life, the concepts of rebirth, atman, dharma and renunciation - that lie at the core of Hindu philosophy. Mirroring Sri Krishna and Arjuna on the battlefield, the monk dispels the darkness that clouds the businessman's mind by sharing the simple secrets to finding true enlightenment in the contemporary world. What are our duties towards our fellow human beings? How can we imbue our lives with integrity and purpose? How can we extract ourselves from worldly shackles and anchor ourselves in the word and worship of God? Addressing this and much more, Arohan examines how the essence of the ancient wisdom in Gita can help overcome the challenges of daily life today.
