Written with typical Ram Dass humor and brilliance, Paths To God: Living the Bhagavad Gita helps to bring light and clarity to this classic yogic text. I have always struggled to understand philosophy, and the Bhagavad Gita was a challenge for me to get through. But with this book as a companion, I feel that I can access the wisdom of the Gita a little easier. This book is very accessible for not only Westerners, but for anyone who is looking for a fresh perspective on the Gita.
I especially like the Syllabus at the end that includes exercises which allow one to integrate the lessons of the Gita into daily life. I feel more open to the wisdom that the Gita offers. It truly is a "manual for living a spiritual life".
I found this book in the local Yoga Studio Center and couldn't put it down. I have attended many Ram Dass workshops at Esalen and around the Bay Area over the years. This book is just like listening to Ram Dass in person. It is such a gift to go back to that time in Naropa and hear his wisdom. What a comforting and wise writer.
