The book you hold in your hands stands by itself in the field of Bhagavad Gita commentary. Nataraja Guru has extricated the work from its historical and cultural setting to present it as it was always intended to be appreciated: as a universally applicable psychology and philosophy of life and living. This is very much in keeping with the Guru's lifelong task of revaluing and restating India's ancient wisdom heritage in terms acceptable and comprehensible to intelligent modern human beings anywhere and at any time. Nataraja Guru's insights remain unique and essential. When both science and religion have become mature enough to surrender their turf wars to something akin to the unifying vision of the ancient rishis of India, the human race will have made its greatest conscious stride toward a substantive peace evincing universal justice and happiness. The doors of this type of perception are wide open, thanks in part to the Guru's revolutionary treatment of this ancient masterwork of the human race.
