Reviews:

Prabha Duneja's, "Legacy of Yoga in Bhagawad Geeta" is extra-ordinary. Combining a fresh, accessible translation with judicious use of rich and varied scholarship, and keen insight into the heart of the Geeta, Duneja has produced a wonderful resource for both personal and scholarly study. For those seeking spiritual truth, Duneja's book is a wonderful guide. Her writing is lucid, offering not only abundant insight into the nature of ultimate reality but also thoughtful reflection on the yogic practices which are central to the Geeeta's message. Her understanding of inter religious matters is clear as the book skillfully bridges not only linguistic and cultural chasms but philosophical ones as well, thus making it valuable for persons from all faith. Students seeking to understand the message carried within the Geeta will be well served by this volume. Her commentary, both explaining the text and expanding upon it, brings clarity to the most delicate and difficult of concepts. Legacy of yoga in Bhagawad Geeta is a unique scholarly achievement and one which will greatly benefit all those who encounter it. I heartily recommend it. Duneja's writing is vibrant-it touches not only the mind but the heart, soul and spirit as well. Her writing is alive.

The present work reveals the stupendous scholarship, positive approach and mastery of Indian philosophical and religious thought of Mrs. Prabha Duneja. Designed both for general philosophical readers and for specialists in Indian thought, the work sets forth in a readable and concise manner the principal arguments, and views put forward by the leading commentators, indologists, great leaders of the world and the renowned scholars about Geeta and its relevance. This book definitely and purposely explains the principles and practices of the gospel of inspired action. Her commentary on Bhagawad Geeta is in fact a very competent work, perhaps the best of its kind. To me, Prabha appears to be a receiver and transmitter of the voice of Bhagawan Sri Krsna.

Legacy of yoga in Bhagawad Geeta is a distinct contribution to Geeta literature. Mrs. Prabha Duneja profusely draws upon the wisdom of Indian writers and relates their views with those of western thinkers, like Aldous Huxley and Schumacher. This has been possible on account of her erudite scholarships of eastern and western philosophy, association with Geeta since early childhood and a passion for popularizing the massage of Geeta. Living in a state of perpetual connectedness with the indweller she says is far better than all the austerities, performance of rituals and scriptural knowledge. She presents the concept of yoga in a conspicuous manner, giving a clear concrete and comprehensive explanation with her experiential knowledge enlightened insight and authority. The explanations of verses are elaborate and elegant and will also satisfy those who may not be quite familiar with the Indian ethos. Laced with inspiring anecdotes, it is a remarkable commentary which will enlighten the learned as well as the laymen in India and also in foreign lands.
