It combines traditional and modern images illustrating the timely message of this masterpiece, which is derived from the Mahabharata, where all problems faced by humanity and their solutions are presented.

The first book introduces Arjuna, the highly evolved hero of the Gita, and shows his plight as the leading warrior of his age who must enter into a battle that will destroy his family and much of his society. As a seeker of truth, Arjuna finds himself stationed between the forces of good and evil on the battlefield of life.

Arjuna needed a way to fight and win the war without incurring the sin of killing. He was so prescient that he developed a pre-traumatic stress syndrome, similar to the post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) experienced by today's warriors.

Fortunately for mankind his charioteer and guide, Lord Krishna, provides in book two the principles of a simple, practical form of meditation known to eliminate all stress that will deliver Arjuna from the binding influence of his duty-bound actions while purifying his environment to remove the cause of future wars.

The full resolution of Arjuna's predicament by Lord Krishna is presented in succeeding books. The knowledge Arjuna received has as much significance today as it did 5,000 years ago for solving all problems and bringing enlightenment and fulfillment to individuals and to society as a whole.

It contains the wisdom of how to live perfection in life, knowledge that is beneficial for everyone in every age and is easily put into practice.
