Bhagavad Gita - Links

Theosophists love the Bhagavad Gita. As such they have no doubt helped in the growth of its popularity. In fact, the death of H.P. Blavatsky is comemorated each year by the reading of a text from the Bhagavad Gita, a text from The Light of Azia, by sir Edwin Arnold and H.P. Blavatsky's The Voice of the Silence. For Theosophists, the Bhagavad Gita is also one of another series of classics. That is the series of small, devotional classics which help the student to practice what is preached. The others in this series are: Light on the Path, by Mabel Collins, At The Feet of the Master, by Alcyone (in TS-Adyar), H.P. Blavatsky's The Voice of the Silence and Golden Precepts by G. de Purucker, former head of then TS-Point Loma.
