Description

According to the Jewish tradition, we are in the High Holy Days. According to the news, we are in the lowest unholy days. Both are true. As global tensions escalate, this paradox points directly to the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita: The war to be concerned with is the inner battle between your ego and your soul. The Gita has inspired much of modern Western philosophy—from Schopenhauer and Hegel to Nietzsche and beyond—yet none of those thinkers got the real message being transmitted. Accurate understanding of the Gita’s profound instructions is essential now for physical survival in this time of tribulation and, more importantly, for spiritual salvation.
