Great comic version of bhagavad gita!

This really paraphrases and illustrates the bhagavad gita well. Probably would be great for kids, but I enjoyed it as an adult.

Loved it! Cthulu-like gods coming from the sky. Drugs, sex, and lots of violence! Plus these comics have wonderful humor. Great fun to read!

Single Cell by Dr. Machina
This dark comic book was an intriguing find on kindle. The cartoon style comes from the 1950s and conjure up traditional roles of the 1950s image of happy housewives and hardworking husbands each with 2 children and 1 white picket fence. However, the bright colouring effect of the pictures is out of place in the 1950s which is the readers first hint that things are not what they appear to be.
 Dr. Macina then juxtaposes these images with modern ideas, speech, and actions.  The result is entertaining, thought provoking, and highly comic. I loved the surreal nature of the book particularly the onion rings and Viagra which tickled me for a number of days!
 I found the surrealistic nature of the comic book quite philosophical too, whereas at first glance its a funny comic book, there is a hidden subtext in the picture/comment combinations which I found very interesting.
I recommend this comic book to people who enjoy comic writing, appreciate the darker side of life, who have the ability to think outside the box, and look at life in new ways.

This was very intense as Feuerstein often is. But a beautifully written translitteration of the Bhagadvad Gita with his commentaries. It was at times difficult to inturpret and I would reccomend having the "Yoga Encyclopedia/Dictionary" (older version if possible) handy while reading it. It helps with the Sanskrit. Overall the story is touching and very much applies to our lives today. A must read for serious Yogins and Yoginis.

I followed this web comic slavishly when it was posting M-F and love the hard copy I now have.  It's a great comic filled with compelling characters, well drawn, and if you want sic-fi that isn't slapped together poorly, but is well thought out and is logical, this is a great comic for you.

I have been reading this series since Quantum Vibe was still in its first volume posting online and am reading his current volume, Quantum Vibe: Assimulation, online: [...]  I highly recommend you both buy Scott's comic volumes and support him on Patreon, as his latest work posts every week day.

_If you have ever been intimidated by the multi-volume scholarly translations of the Upanishads, then this book is for you. I still marvel at how Prabhavananda and Manchester managed to encapsulate so much of the core content and meaning of the twelve principle Upanishads in such a slim volume. Yet they did- and it works. This translation was originally produced in 1948 for the Vedanta Society of Southern California but it still holds up as one of the best. I have reread this book more times than I can remember- and yet I still reach new realizations in the interwoven, holographic whole. It isn't dogma or theology- it is the direct experience of saints and seers who have touched on divine union transcendent of time.

_Of course if you truly understand these oldest of mystical scriptures then you could condense them down still further to:

Brahman is true, the world is false,

The soul is Brahman and nothing else.

_Or if that is a bit wordy for you, then you can sum up the Upanishads, and all the Vedas, with: "Tat tvam asi" (Thou art that.)

_Most people need to work up to the true understanding of these statements with a bit more commentary, however....

Compared to other editions of the B. Gita, this one by H.D. Goswami is clear about the meaning of the philosophy that the Gita is teaching about. I'm not very philosophical but I could understand it. It's in plain English and straightforward!

This is such terrific comic.  You can see it at GOCOMICS.COM  The cartoonist has retired due to a debilitating illness.  So sad.  I would love to have this calendar every year!

This is one section of the Bhagavad Gita and is very interesting reading and highly recommended.  The size is great for carrying with you.

This book is a real treasure! Its rhyming verses make the Gita fun to read, especially out loud with friends or family. I've found my kids are very attracted to it, whereas the more philosophical versions seem boring to them. (Mitchell's version was a complete dud!) The verses tell the complete story of this important and instructive meeting between Krishna and Arjuna, condensing it without leaving out anything essential. The profound spiritual messages of the Gita come through loud and clear, yet Woodham's brilliant couplets make it palatable even to those whose interest in spirituality isn't very strong. This is just the kind of book I'll love to give as a gift to young people, old friends, relatives of all ages---even myself! The price is right, and it's very attractively put together. That combined with its entertainment factor makes this a highly recommended choice.

My absolute favorite webcomic in print form, which means extras that you can't just get for free! The extras might not be worthy the extra price, but not having to dig through the archives to find the joke you wanted to tell your friends definitely is. The art could use some work; it's well suited to its purpose and not at all distracting in what it lacks. I only point out that this is not done by Alex Ross, which I'm personally thankful for. The story, though, is some of the single best writing available in comic form.

It can get a bit mushy, but there's always the silly and sarcastic cat to make a pun about sap. It can also get a bit puntastical, but if you're like me, that makes it even better. There are even sneaky puns during the dramatic parts that no one points out, which is all the better that they go unnoticed on the first reading to keep up the drama and then laughed at later because they're so sneaky and good. The humor isn't exactly top notch because it is so full of puns and those types of jokes...much like Shakespeare. I love the comedy in this, and it's there throughout almost every moment but it never gets in the way of the very unusual plot.

I did not get it through Amazon, so I don't have any advice there. Just don't let that affect your desire for it because you can get it from Mookie.

New Indian author Sushrut A. Badhe is very young, and very refreshing! Though he completed studies in Mechanical Engineering from Pondicherry, India only three years ago he has discovered his path through his exposure to Ayurvedic Health concepts and has become the CEO at KVM Research labs, a researcher at Midam Charitable Trust, implementing Vedic Chants Intervention Programs for children with autism. As a reminder to readers, Ayurveda is a 5,000-year-old system of natural healing that has its origins in the Vedic culture of India. The reason this is important introductory information for the reader of Bahde's book of poems THE RHYTHM OF THE SPIRIT and now for his new translation of the Bhagwat Gita will become evident.

Now Sushrut Badhe takes on the Bhagwat Gita translated into rhythmic English verses from original Sanskrit language. He offers in his first book the first five Cantos - Canto I: The grief of Arjuna, Canto II: King Secrets revealed, Canto III: Unveiling the Spirit in material Action, Canto IV: Krishna opens the gates of Knowledge, and Canto V: Absolute renunciation.  In addition to the opportunity to have the Bhagwat Gita made available to us, Sushrut retains is modesty in declaring that this is only his translation of the great book and it is that sensitivity that makes reading his translations all the more graceful.

An example from the end of Canto V: 'The sages who are the seekers of liberation Assert a control over their mind and intellect All senses, anger or wrath can cause them no interruption For they have attained complete freedom in every respect. When to man, this singular truth is known - That all sacrifices I receive with joy for they are my own And he shall perceive me as his dearest loving friend. He shall then experience my perfect peace that has no end.`

Once again we are in Sushrut's debt for his generosity of spirit. This is a gentle translation full of rich meaning. Grady Harp, December 14

<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Thor-Tales-of-Asgard/dp/0785139214/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Thor: Tales of Asgard</a>Mr. Jack Kirby,is to the Super Hero Genre,as Osamu Tezuka is to the Manga/Anime genre...He laid the foundation with the creation of the format for super hero teams,left a trail of hundreds of amazing characters he created or co-created,regardless of whatever company he worked for in his prolific career,and is a Titan in the universe of Popular Culture...Mr. Kirbys' Tales of Asgard stories,even though in their original form were the second set of stories after the Thor stories in the comic book (yes i said comic book,'cause that 's what they were when i bought 'em as a kid!) where some of the most amazing dynamic hyper-kinetic mythologically based stories in the genre! and this book does them justice in it's printing and coloring! Even though the original coloring of the stories has been replaced with a some what more "muted" realistic color scheme and has all the bell and whistles of modern computer printing/color pallette,it enhances Kirbys' work!! Just as there is Mel Gibsons'/Kenneth Branaghs'/Laurence Oliviers'/David Tennants'version of William Shakespeares' Hamlet,so this version of Jack Kirbys' work as interpreted by the colorist/graphic wizard Mr. Matt Milla has merit and can stand in equal stature to the "Classic" versions of Tales of Asgard! I know some purists will be put off by Mr. Millas' version (as was I initially) but GIVE IT A CHANCE TO GROW ON YOU!!As I re-examined it,I came to view it as a perfect blend of the "old"( the heavy inks influenced by the relatively primitive printing technology of the '60s) with the "new"(the hundreds of colors and graphic effects of The "Photoshop" Era of 2010 printing technology)...an extra set of treats  awaits at the back of the book which contains detailed maps of Asgard!! its different levels and countries/provinces depicted,as well as reprints of highly informative written articles  about the principal and peripheral characters of the Tales of Asgard stories which makes this book very well rounded and not just another reprint! If you (like me!) are a hardcore dyed-in-the-wool it's clobberin'time rise the demon Etrigan Jack Kirby fan,it would behoove you to pick up this volumne for your library! Or if you like Norse mythology,Fantasy stories,or plain old cracking good adventure stories,you can't go wrong with this gem!( hey Kirby fans,can you imagine if Kirby had adapted Tolkeins' "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings " trilogy,or C.S.Lewis" "Narnia" series,or Mervyn Peakes' "Gormenghast" stories?!! This book gives a tantalizing "what if" train of thought!!)

Mahabharat is truly an epic and FASCINATING to say the least! This is a well written English version and paints in lyrical details the magic , drama , emotions and characters of the heroes of a diffrent era - Lord Krishna and the Pandava princes.

It is human and divine just as the original Sanskrit text may have been. The wisdom is deep too and its essence is not lost in the book.
If you really want to explore a piece of history , a different era(yuga) and get to journey in other divine realms, this is a must read!
Feels like I re-lived that era and grew close to the super heroes of that time! Superb book!

Want an Indian perspective on the Jesus which illuminates the Bhagavad Gita? This book is for you.  I listened to it under audible books.  I would recommend it to any one who wants genuine spirituality and an escape from religious dogmatism.

An absolutely "must read" for those interested in the deep philosophical aspects of the activites of Lord Krishna. It is Srila Prabhupada's easily readable rendition of the 10th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam. Features superhuman bad and good guys-enjoyable for all ages!

"The Prince" is an intriguing comic that delves beyond the normal comic book and an excellent revision on the original. The easy-flow comic book style makes this version very easy to understand and read and will appeal to various reader. I love how it really went into the strategy it takes to obtain power and the reality of it all. I highly recommend it!
