Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Dear Respected Simoneji, Namaste, Thank you fo being so kind. Others were positive about the version of the Gita I had spoke against, so I was cautious of stepping on other's toes (something which I didn't wish to do). But what a gift to humanity the Gita is! It would be a terrible shame if someone missed the opportunity of bathing in its wisdom. Gandhi said: The Gita is the universal mother. She turns away nobody. Her door is wide open to anyone who knocks. A true votary of Gita does not know what disappointment is. He ever dwells in perennial joy and peace that passeth understanding. But that peace and joy come not to skeptic or to him who is proud of his intellect or learning. It is reserved only for the humble in spirit who brings to her worship a fullness of faith and an undivided singleness of mind. There never was a man who worshipped her in that spirit and went disappointed.

I think the ONLY evauative mention of the Hare Krishna edition was by me. And, I said I'd HEARD positive things about it. I have no personal experience of it. And, you're right.. the Gita is literally the Jewel of Salvation.
