SRIMAD BHAGAVAD GITA: Spiritual Commentaries by Yogiraj Sri Sri Shyama Charan Lahiri Mahasay and Swami Sriyukteshvar Giri English translation by Yoga Niketan

For anyone that has the slightest interest In Sri Yukteshvar and may not be opposed to this being published by the Non - SRF source 'Yoga Niketan'; I highly recommend you to get this.... If or when the HB version becomes affordable for you. I have seen vast price extremes unfortunately. I see some for a lower price than I paid listed.This is What I was searching for when I received The Holy Science over 35 years ago. Very deep and esoteric Yoga - Samkhya Teachings.Sri Yukteshvar's Commentary is Not an easy read at all; IMHO.The part of the book by beloved Lahiri Mahasaya is actually quite straight forward and easily understood with effort.I was able to get a hard copy also so I could use a Highlighter, which I always do.

Immeasurable are the Glories of the Beloved Divine Masters!Theirs is the most precious gift, of unreserved Love and unconditional Compassion, to us the creation..Jai Guru 🙏💜

Its a great book to read. I agree with the introduction section of the book that the commentaries have a much deeper meaning to them. Sometimes it is hard to grasp the context without the guidance of a Guru. I still loved reading it because you are still bound to find some gems of knowledge in it.

Thank you Yoga Niketan to make this invaluable treatise available. I have been bewildered in chapter 12 about worshipping the manifested vs worshipping the unmanifested. After reading Lahiri Baba’s commentaries, all my questions suddenly vanished.

Jai guru!!! For all kriyavans of all lineages, this is a great commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. OM shanti shanti shanti

Its an life time experience

The spiritual commentaries by Lahiri Mahasaya and Swami Yukteshvar on the Bhagavad Gita is an excellent piece of work for kriya yoga students. However, those who are not familiar on the teachings of kriya yoga would find this book a bit difficult to comprehend because the concepts of Kriya and the different states of kriya are described here.If ordinary people (those not well versed in yoga) read this, they would not be able to understand the essence of this work. This work is divided into two sections. The first section deals with Lahiri Mahasaya's translation on the Bhagavad Gita and the second section deals with Swami Sri Yukteshvar's translation. These translations are unique from other works on the Gita. The Gita is being interpretated on a highly spiritual level. This would give the reader the impression that the Gita has many levels of meaning, which is a correct view to have on the Bhagavad Gita.The reason why I love this work is because this work is intended for kriya yoga students who have practiced meditation for a number of years. Be warned that this work is not meant for the general public. I would also like to recommend Paramahansa Yogananda's translation on the Bhagavad Gita: " The Bhagavad Gita: Royal Science of God-Realization: God Talks with Arjuna: The Immortal Dialogue Between Soul and Spirit (2 volumes) " which is another excellent piece of work.

I am an engineer, scientist, practical, sensible and simple. For a very long time I puzzled over differences in human beings, their behavor (actions and thoughts) even differences in sibblings from the same family and environment. This book and the authors' writings provide very 'logical/scietific' explanation to my puzzles. This book clearly explains how profoundly all life forms are influenced by 'Five senses and the sense organs'. There is something beyond senses and this is all knowing and all pervasive called 'Life Force'. 'Breath is a byproduct of Life force moving in the Body', ie you breathe because life force is moving in the body and maintains all the organs (Anatomically and physiologically). When life force is uneven you breathe erratically and if this erratic pattern continues, over period of time decease sets in. When life force stops this results cessation of breathing , meaning 'death'. However we dont have direct control over life force but we have 'direct' control over breathing. This is the key. By learning how to breathe well, we can influence the life force and sustain body well. This is not just physiological exercise, the thoughts that govern physiology have to be in Synchronization and consistent with what is universally considered 'right vs wrong'.

Obra rara da lavra de dois gigantes espirituais, Lahiri Mahasaya e Sri Sriyukteswar. Um tesouro à disposição dos Kriyavans do mundo inteiro. Jai Guru!

A rare gem for students and practitioners. Presents the oral tradition of the lineage as it is. Getting oneself acquainted with a conventional interpretation of the Gita is recommended, before embarking on this journey.

so good book ! clear and deep commentary,contain also patanjali sutra comment by sri yukteshvar !!so happy of my buy

It's quite abstract at times, but every now and then, there are some real pearls

Spoken by Shri Shri Maha Avtar Babaji Disciple Shri Shri Lahiri Mahasaya and Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri .This is not a Book it give the actual meaning that Lord Krishna want to communicate to Arjuna and all Gita Followers through Kriya Yoga.
