Publisher's Synopsis
This third book in the Song of Your Soul series provides unparalleled support for your personal growth and ability to apply the wisdom of one of the world's best-loved books to your personal needs. Geared toward those with experience in yoga, Sanskrit, and/or Eastern philosophy, this volume features the poetic translation from Books 1 and 2 side-by-side with a more literal one, allowing you to grasp the nuances and implications of each verse more fully. A commentary on the more literal translation provides in-depth examinations of key Sanskrit words and yogic concepts. In addition, background stories from the Bhagavad Gita's source text, the Mahabharata, introduce you a legendary land from long ago and illustrate how to apply seemingly esoteric theories to the realities of your life. If you are looking to develop a deep trust for your unique path in this world and become all you were ever meant to be, Embracing The Song of Your Soul can help you accomplish your goals and emerge as an inspiration for others.
Author Laura Atmadarshan Santoro studied in Indian ashrams and lived each verse of the Bhagavad Gita for a day as part of a decades-long sadhana (special practice). This experience allows her to show you how to authentically apply its wisdom to contemporary life challenges like racism, classicism, and gender fluidity. Her down-to-earth manner, humor and story-telling gifts have made her an in-demand international presenter and mark The Song of Your Soul as a must for Bhagavad Gita enthusiasts, world literature aficionados, spiritual seekers of all traditions and anyone needing support on their personal path.
"The kind of story that human lives and whole civilizations are built on...This book will invite you in with a warm embrace and you will be welcome to stay as long as you want." - Rev. Roger G. Talbott, translator of Christian scripture and author
