Intereststs; Meditation/Spiritual Life

Currently the Gita by Yogananda is my favorite book. I have sort of thumbed through Swami Prabhupada's interpretation of the Gita, and I was comparing verses.

The first thing I noticed is that Yogananda is of course very much a proponent of meditation (as am I), and that is hardly mentioned much in Prabhupada's work. They both pretty much translate the verses commonly, but the comments after the verses are where the major differences lie.

For some reason, I much prefer Yogananda's interpretations. It seems to be more of a complex style of writing, where you have to stop and reread things a few times, but that doesn't bother me.

What are you reading in the Gita this wk. end. I would like to study/read it together. More and more you will find people are leaving external devotion and spirituality in favor of meditation which opens us up to a whole inner life separated from the restless pastimes of most people on the earth today.We just must recognize how much we are ahead of our times. Fortunately there are now enough of us that we can stick together and not feel like weirdos like the general public often has thought. Look at what kind of trip the outer world has done on your life. The rewards are few. But the rewards from meditation and the gurus are lasting and fulfilling.
