The Bhagavad Gita Illuminated by Jeffrey Armstrong

“The Bhagavad Gita is the core text embedded within the great Vedic epic, the Maharabharata. It is a spiritual and philosophical masterpiece that embodies the true essence of the Vedic world view through the conversation between the warrior Arjuna and his chariot driver, Sri Krishna, an Avatar of the Supreme Being, Bhagavan, on the eve of a great battle.

Jeffrey Armstrong, introduces the reader to the Bhagavad-Gita Gita, and the Vedic world view.
