A fully illustrated summary of the world's bestselling Bhagavad-gita. 
There have been literally hundreds of translations of the Bhagavad-gita published in English alone, which is evidence that the voices from ancient India still speak to us in modern times. Bhagavad-gita: A Photographic Essay is an artistic presentation of the key philosophical ideas of the Bhagavad-gita's eighteen chapters. The author, with the aid of 124 powerful photographic illustrations, eloquently presents the Gita's transcendent vision. 

The Gita itself boldly declares, "In this world there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge." And in Bhagavad-gita: A Photographic Essay, the resonance and potency of the original Sanskrit verses remain intact as they call upon each of us to apply their wisdom in our everyday lives.

"The ancient, yet universally relevant message of the Gita is extended to us in the modern world through Visakha's clearly articulated understanding along with her powerful photographic expression of its message." 
-- Graham M. Schweig, Ph.D., Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley

"In this publication, we have an extraordinary opportunity to comprehend the Gita as it has been historically understood within its own sacred tradition." 
-- Howard J. Resnick, Ph.D., Harvard University

"By blending an easy-to-read and highly accessible synopsis of the text with relevant and usefully placed photographs, Visakha has highlighted the essential philosophical points and made them relevant to the modern context." 
-- Edwin Bryant, Ph.D., Rutgers University

From the Author:
I first heard of Bhagavad-gita when I was trekking with my then boyfriend (now husband) John Griesser in the Himalayas way back in the summer of '71. We were at the snow line, 10,000 feet at that time of year, and decided to spend a few restful days in an abandoned cowshed. From deep inside his backpack John pulled out a blue paperback with a line drawing of a regal, four-armed person on the cover.
During our stay, I sat for hours surrounded by towering snowy peaks in crystal-clear air, with no other humans around, trying to read this early edition of Bhagavad-gita As It Is, by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. I understood little but I was intrigued. The idea of tolerating dualities and remaining equipoised in their midst enticed me, as did the concept of an eternal spiritual presence within all living beings. And the Gita opened me to the thought that I could improve my character as well as the quality of my life through knowledge.
Over the years, as I continued studying the Bhagavad-gita and practicing its precepts, my respect for its wisdom, relevance, and comprehensiveness grew. Gradually the Bhagavad-gita revolutionized my life. Bhagavad-gita, A Photographic Essay explains why.
From the Back Cover:
A summary study of the world's best selling Bhagavad-gita. 
Bhagavad-gita, India's ancient book of wisdom, is renowned as one of the world's oldest scriptures and one of the most beautiful and profound texts of world literature. Here, photographs bring its themes to life, unlocking their sublime mysteries.
On Bhagavad-gita:"In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonical philosophy of the Bhagavad-gita, in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial." -- Henry David Thoreau"I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-gita. It was the first of books: it was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
