Not quite as wonderful as Volume IJanuary 5, 2008 I found this volume a slightly harder read than the first volume. The author gets a bit preachy on the subject of nuclear disarmament and handgun control. The contemporary examples he brings up in his commentary can't hope to match the timeless grandeur of the Gita verses, but this is a small criticism. Overall, I found this volume valuable. This book (which contains the famous verse quoted by Oppenheimer: "I am become Death, destroyer of worlds,") gets into Lord Krishna explaining to Arjuna the wonderful and terrifying sides of who he really is, and the Way of Love through which to serve him.

The Sanskrit, the poem, then the real life example of how to apply this spiritual wisdom is so beautifully written. It doesn't matter how often I read, or how far between reads, every time I open this book it applies perfectly to my life. It is a text for leading the good life with modern day examples. I've given this book to more people than any other and am so grateful it was recommended to me.
