J. P. Singh Comprehensive Srimad Bhagwat Geeta (A Critique in Sociology of Religion)

Annotation

The author has raised a volley of thoughtful queries and questions against various religious beliefs and practices, including the philosophy of the Geeta, coming through the ages and has tried to offer a fresh perspective on individuals religious life in society through this book. This is the first book of its kind on the Geeta using sociological perspective; wherein stimulating and exciting issues have been raised on various subjects for open-minded readers to have a further insight into the problems and worries concerning religion and spirituality. Experience has shown that it is not easy, if not impossible, to translate the precepts of the Geeta into real life. But the more you follow, the more liberated you become from the problems of life. The more you trust, the more confident you become. All other ways of God-realization are a kind of deception and waste of time. The Geeta suggests the best possible way of knowing the Supreme Being to attain perfection in ones life. It comprises the timeless doctrine of universal truth. The Bhagavad Geeta is definitely a fit companion for lifetime. It contains words of wisdom and practical teachings that contain the answers to problems of the present-day life. It guides the lives of people all over the world. Instead of aspiring for Moksha as the ultimate goal of life, as suggested in the Geeta, the author has pleaded that every one of us must pray for Gods blessings to come time and again with increasingly greater potential to render services to the humanity in distress. This world is not a Maya, but a kind of dynamic reality. So long as one believes in Lord Krishna, the life is full oflimitless cheers.
