SA is a great writer. As an avid follower of the Rig Veda, SA has provided a truly revolutionary, and, I believe, accurate interpretation of that scripture. He can always be counted on to give insightful, deep reflections of philosophy and religion. This, an apparent collection of articles written about the BG, is no exception. The BG is truly one of the most beautiful pieces of literature in the world. But then there is that first chapter in which Arjuna despairs of the prospect of killing his own kinsmen and Krishna convinces him to do so. How does a spiritual individual reconcile this picture? It seems to me that every commentary over the years have desperately attempted to fashion some acceptable explanation of Krishna persuading Arjuna to commit murder. Aurobindo's explanation is novel as it is also accurate as to the true intent of its author. Aurobindo first provides the background by explaining the over-all philosophical purpose of the BG. To meld the Sankhya philosophical tradition and Yoga tradition and explain both in terms of Vedanta. While this explains the BG's continued popularity, it also gives Arjuna the means in which to kill his fellow men. As I understand Aurobindo's explanation, Arjuna may go through the motions of pointing and releasing his arrows, but he is not the "doer" of the act. This "doership" is in essence an illusion and itself a preoduct of maya. His spirit and consciousness, the Purusa, is the true self, and is merely the silent witness of all that folds in front of him. That enfoldment, steeped in maya and consisting of matter, Prakrit, is responsible for the chaos and the conflict, not "him," Arjuna, who is killing his kinsmen, so when he goes out and kills, it is not "him." In order for "him" to kill his kinsmen, the Purusa must be responsible and that is impossible. It's a convenient argument, one which any tyrant or serial killer could use to justify their actions, but it is also consistent with the Sankhya philosophy, upon which the BG is founded. This book nonetheless is highly recommended and will provide many insights on the BG. SA for instance provides a valiuable insight into the relatonship between parusa and pakriti. True, it is well understood that when parausa does not become involved with pankiriti, the three gunas are in equipose and all is peaceful. It is only when parusa consents to make contact with pankrit that the gunas become agitated and the material world unfolds. Well, SA has characterizes this contact as a point of Relection, similar in theory to the Bindu, the first time I have ecnountered it being described as that. Whether this is consistent with traditional Sankhya philosophy I do not know, but interesting nonetheless. The translation is commendable, but not nearly as beautiful as described in the desertcart page. It contains one too many Elizabethan "thy," "thou," and what not, but when the transalator avoids these flourishes, is quite splendid indeed. Review: Amazing commentary - Aurobindo gets the true message of the bhagavad gita better than anyone how has a commentary ever has. This is a joy to read and should be read by all. It is truth and brings peace. ## Features - The Bhagavad Gita with Text, Translation and Commentary in the Words of Sri Aurobindo/Third Edition - Product Type: ABIS_BOOK ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,704,193 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #186 in Bhagavad Gita (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 91 Reviews | ## Images ![The Bhagavad Gita with Text, Translation and Commentary in the Words of Sri Aurobindo/Third Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/412u0hSzl-L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the commentary to read. *by J***R on July 18, 2011* Sri Aurobindo's Commentary on the BG Plainly put Sri Aurobindo's commentary on the Bhavaghad Gita is one of the most insightful and beneficial to a true and deep understanding of the scripture.
