Sacred Verses, Healing Sounds: The Bhagavad Gita

"This is a wonderful rendition of the Bhagavad Gita--I have listened to it almost daily for many years. Deepak Chopra has a beautiful, calming voice, and the accompanying music is perfectly matched to both his voice and the text. The first half of the first tape explains how the sounds of sacred texts (and all words) have the power to change you from a spiritual level. And the rest of the two tapes are filled with Mr. Chopra reading Chapters 1 through 13. I wish he would record the rest of the 18 chapters!

I have read several different versions of the Gita over the years, and always come back to this--I've worn out several sets of tapes already! I was raised Catholic, and have been a spiritual seeker most of my life, reading and studying the sacred texts of a number of spiritual traditions. What I've found is that the Bhagavad Gita (and in particular, this version) distills the main components of all the others into an easily understandable and practical format for daily living. It is said that the answer to any problem can be found in the Gita, and so far, I have found this to be true. Do yourself a favor, and give this a listen!"

"This was my introduction to the Bhagavad Gita. I bought it two weeks ago and have not stopped listening to it. I take it on my walk with me everyday. It keeps me centered throughout the day. Deepak's voice is heavenly, the classical Indian music is hauntingly beautiful, and the verses are,of course, sacred! I have since bought Yogananda's translation of the Gita and can honestly say this sacred text is changing my life. My love to Deepak for this introduction."
