This book is itself a triumph. Swami Kriyananda worked with Paramhansa Yogananda in 1950 while the Master completed his commentary. At that time Yogananda commissioned him to disseminate his teachings worldwide. During his lifetime, Kriyananda lectured, taught, and wrote more than 140 books based on Yogananda's teachings.
The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita, Kriyananda's eighty-sixth book, was one of the crowning achievements of his highly productive life. In this, his masterpiece, he declared, "Yogananda's insights into the Gita are the most amazing, thrilling, and helpful of any I have ever read."
