 Spectacular Reading, Word for Word, Paragraph by Paragraph, March 28, 2005

Let's face it, reading the Gita is rather tedious and boring...similar to reading the Bible. The Gita is rather complex in its psychology and it is very easy to lose focus while reading it. What Osho does is bring relevant questions to life. There is no doubt in my mind that this book is worth it's weight in gold. I would like to buy several copies and give them to friends, but not many people are into Gita.
From back cover...A person who himself is eager for war doesn't care whether the opponnent is eager to fight or not. A person who is eager for war is blind. He never looks at the enemy. He only projects the enemy. He doesn't want to look at the enemy-in fact, whomsoever he meets is an enemy for him. He doesn't need to see the enemy; he creates, he projects the enemy. When a battle is raging within, enemies appear on the outside.
Osho's illuminating commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, one of the most famous of Hindu scripture, explains how the patterns and conditionings of our mind create pain and misery, dilemma, conflict and war.
Arjuna, the tortured and reluctant hero, speaks with his enlightened mentor, Krishna, on the eve of the Mahabharata war. Throwing brilliant light on Krishna's responses, Osho exposes the roots of our contemporary personal and global problems and proposes his timeless solution.

This is an outstanding book. If you are interested in discovering the source of your inner conflicts and finding a way to navigate through confusion and uncertainty then you must get a copy of this book and READ IT! I've read hundreds of books on eastern philosophy, but this is among the very best and most powerful. Get a copy now!
