Why read it?

2 authors picked God Talks with Arjuna as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The Bhagavad Gita, or "the Song of God," is the one of the world's great scriptures. Paramahansa Yogananda, founder of the Self-Realization Fellowship, gives us a delightful -- and as stupendous as the Gita itself -- commentary that points both toward the sublime of the Absolute and the practicalities of daily life. It's all in here, folks. You just need to pick it up and read it.

This treatise is no ordinary commentary on the sacred Bhagavad Gita. Every page in this two-volume set is loaded with spiritual wisdom! Each time I dip into it, I emerge with clarity and upliftment. 

Paramahansa Yogananda put himself in a state of attunement with the originators of this sacred text as he wrote this commentary. The result is unparalleled insights into the yogic path and practical wisdom for higher consciousness. Easily the best writing on the Gita I have come across.

From Suresh's list on transformation for enlightenment.
