An ancient conversation for a modern audience - anyone who has ever asked 'what is the purpose of life? or 'who am I?' will find something in this book. The Bhagavad Gita has been around a long time, but remains little known outside India. This edition sets out to change that. The ancient Gita is a world text dealing with the mysteries of life. At its heart is a conversation between the soul and God. Ranchor Prime's version adopts a non-sectarian approach, making the Gita relevant to those of all religions or none, and emphasizing the link between religion and self-development. It is distinguished by its easy accessibility. His section-by-section commentary opens the text to the spiritual seeker. He never loses sight of the audience for his book, and that he wants his readers to understand the Gita in a personal way.

In the 1960s Ranchor Prime left home to begin a lifelong exploration of spirituality. In this beautiful book, he reflects on his journey and, one by one, introduces the reader to the eight elements of ancient Hindu cosmology: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether, Mind, Wisdom and Ego. He has been searching through nature and the spirit ever since. The book is illuminated by the author's own pencil drawings introducing each of the eight elements.

The beautiful story of Lord Chaitanya shows how all problems can be healed by loving God. Five hundred years ago he travelled from village to village across India singing the names of Krishna and sharing his love with all he met - as healing today as it was then.
