Swami Bhaktivedanta Chanting God's Song in America, BY ALLEN GINSBERG
A Note of Appreciation for This Volume, FROM DENISE LEVERTOV
The Significance of The Bhagavad Gita, BY THOMAS MERTON
Allen Ginsberg
on
The Bhagavad Gita As It Is:
"The Text is awesome. The vision of the Universal Form is equal to any Sublime poesy of the West, superior in detailed image to Dante's final Cantos' Paradise vision....The explanations of Swami Bhaktivedanta are transparent and exquisitely detailed—expositions presented here for the first time to common public Western mind—a storehouse of old age, experience, devotion, learning, scholarship, Hindu granny-wisdom, sincerity, gaiety & sweet transcendental insight."
Denise Levertov
on
The Bhagavad Gita As It Is:
"The Bhagavad Gita....one of the great spiritual texts....is not as yet, I think one can agree, a common part of our cultural milieu....this is probably less because it is alien per se than because we have lacked just the kind of close interpretive commentary upon it that Swami Bhaktivedanta has here provided, a commentary written from not only a scholar's but a practitioner's, a dedicated lifelong devotee's, point of view.
Swami A. C. Bhaktivedanta, one of the most distinguished teachers of Vedic religion and thought, is the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, which now has center is every major city in the United States and Canada.
- Records (33⅓ rpm) of devotional chants are available from The International Society for Krishna Consciousness, 26 Second Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10003
