Mine is a hard copy,
Bhagavad-Gita 'As It Is'
by A.C Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupàda.

Last year, I had taken a seminar that introduced components of the Bhagavad-Gita--
There was the back-story of the Gita, overarching themes, and the three hierarchical levels of reality in the Gita

Presenter spoke of Transcendental Knowledge
the Bhagavad-Gita addresses:
individual consciousness,
infinite consciousness,
the material world,
the natural law of action and reaction,
and time;
four systems of yoga --
universal principles of religion,
and yoga as the technology of religious experience.

I have a life-long deeply-studied and practiced Christian background. I love to explore other philosophies. Very much had enjoyed experiencing the mystical parallels, to and with this study of the 'Gita.

Was also a fan of Yogananda.

In college I thoroughly read and absorbed the book An Autobiography of A Yogi. Made a potent impression on my spiritual life. A handful of years afterwards, I had applied and was in the process of entering a contemplative monastic life (RC belief system). Yogananda's chant-songs were always a part of my soul and spiritual experience.

There IS Something-Higher that we belong to and that Calls us.
My Soul and Spirit Celebrates the unity of Seekers.

This WHOLE life, for me, has been a journey weaving in and out of different kinds of spiritualities. For 64 years, have lived life travelling through corridors of other-worldly experiences and studies. Like the Flammarion, occasionally I poke my head in, and draw-out the experience of 'that' part and piece of life for a while; then, the journey moves further-down along the inter-between.

The part of my journey through the veil, where I visited (and incorporated) parts of the philosophies of the eastern, had added value to my life, my soul.

Kriyananda wrote some truly gorgeous pieces.
He was a disciple of Yogananda.
Learned some of their very inspirational musical chants in my early mid 20s.
Used to sing them (so Fully-Devoted in my Soul with a Love for God) on those very-long walks to Mass; and during the postulant period inside an R.C.monastery in mid20s.

(music) O Life Is Sweet (Yogananda Chant, perf by Marisa) [2:53] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiKwEDY4JT4

yrics
O life is sweet and death a dream,
O life is sweet and death a dream,
When Thy song flows through me,
My Lord, When Thy song flows through me.

Then joy is sweet, sorrow a dream,
Then joy is sweet, sorrow a dream,
When Thy song flows through me,
My Lord, When Thy song flows through me.

Then health is sweet, sickness a dream,
Then health is sweet, sickness a dream,
When Thy song flows through me,
My Lord, When Thy song flows through me.

Then praise is sweet, and blame a dream,
Then praise is sweet, and blame a dream,
When Thy song flows through me,
My Lord, When Thy song flows through me.

These transits recently have provided a Life Review for me. SURELY!, I've had a very rich life full of varied and intense experiences.

Bless God!

(music) A Perfect Heart (w lyrics) [3:04] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z4_88BSvFU

I was thinking about this thread today.

(music) When Thy Song Flows Through Me (Phil Jones sings Yogananda) [5:34] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLBh5OxEqQY


The colorful art illustrations inserted into the version of B'Gita I mentioned above, have remained planted strong in my memory... after decades. They still teach.

I like Bhagavad gita Shankara Bhashya. The comments of Adi Shankaracharya are the most profound for me.
