Surprisingly accessible. Definitely an interesting perspective on power and attachment in (everybody's, including god's) action.

Considering the huge influence of yoga in today's society, it would be interesting to see all of the people wearing 'yoga pants' read this book. Within it Krishna reprimands those who are attached to material possessions and preaches a yoga of openness and nothingness; and isn't that contradictory with those who purchase lululemons?
I am not religious, but Krishna's arguments made me want to be.

Yeah this was really interesting. There's an impressive metaphysics running about with a neat ethical system knitted in. Of course, I'm not really capable of saying anything particularly unique about the text here. I'd like to get a better of the Gita in its wider context of the Mahabharata, since the BG functions as a more strictly spiritual piece.
The BG is really effective, that is, beautiful, as poetry. Arguably this is partly due to the versification the Penguin Classics version uses. I really adored the middlish discourses around 8-11 for this poetic flavour mixed with the life-affirming approaches. Also nice to get a brief hint of the eternal return.
