Commentary/review

At first bizarre but in the end an entirely pleasant audiobook. Jack Hawley wrote from his experience with Bhagavad Gita and that somehow makes the entire endeavor very important. To me, the tale does not seem exotic or alien but entirely relevant and wholesome. Considering that there are books containing commentary to Bhagavad Gita by Mahatma Gandhi, it is difficult to imagine anyone writing any serious work on the topic half-heartedly. Author’s passion is contagious even though it is difficult to place in any larger context.

I am no sure about this cover; for me, not enough West for a Westerner.
