From the author: “A student of Vedic scriptures, as well as being of ‘black,’ ‘white’ and Cherokee heritage, I believe that individuals of mixed racial backgrounds quickly begin searching for a higher spiritual truth, something that allows them to make sense of the madness behind lumping human beings into separate and distinct ‘racial’ groupings. “Beyond Race: The Bhagavad-gita in Black and White is an indispensable aid for anyone—not just ‘mixed’ people—seeking to transcend America’s oppressive race- consciousness. Each section of Beyond Race is fashioned after the eighteen chapters of the Bhagavad-gita, the essence of India’s Vedic wisdom and one of the great spiritual and philosophical classics of the world.” From the Xlibris website: “Along with synopses of each Gita chapter, Beyond Race includes commentary culled from Mr. Byrd’s 1995-2001 Interracial Voice editorials. During or after each chapter’s ‘race’ commentary is included a specific Gita verse for the purpose of expanding on that commentary from the Vedic perspective.” Chinmoy, Sri.

Paths to God: Living the Bhagavad Gita. Harmony, 2004. 3 From the publisher: “. in a . series of reflections, anecdotes, stories, and exercises, Ram Dass gives us a unique and accessible road map for experiencing divinity in everyday life. In the engaging, conversational style that has made his teachings so popular for decades, Ram Dass traces our journey of consciousness as it is reflected in one of Hinduism’s most sacred texts. The Gita teaches a system of yogas, or ‘paths for coming to union with God.’ “In Paths to God, Ram Dass brings the heart of that system to light for a Western audience and translates the Gita’s principles into the manual for living the yoga of contemporary life. While being a guide to the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Paths to God is also a template for expanding our definition of ourselves and allowing us to appreciate a new level of meaning in our lives.” Deshpande, R.
