The Bhagavad Gita or the Art of Action
Colette Poggi and Émilie Poggi

A key text of Indian thought for twenty-four centuries, like Homer’s Odyssey in the West, the Bhagavad Gita is also recognized as one of the major sources of yoga philosophy.

Understanding the Bhagavad Gita means aligning our actions, words, and thoughts with dharma, with the cosmic Order. It concerns all of us in order to inhabit the planet, to soothe our relationships, to lead our lives well, to take care of others, to fulfill our deepest vocation, to act and to accomplish ourselves because “what I accomplish, accomplishes me” (Vimala Thakar).

With clarity, humor, and an exceptional talent as a storyteller, Colette Poggi makes accessible to us this universal text that inspired Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, and even the environmental activist Vandana Shiva.

The magnificent original illustrations of Émilie Poggi transport us to the heart of this dialogue that enlightens us as much on our daily life as on our contemporary world so unpredictable.
