"Overlooked outside India and scarcely available in English, the Uddhava Gita offers spiritual seekers in the West a previously unexplored path to understanding Hinduism and Krishna's wisdom. ". "Although set down in writing centuries apart, the Bhagavad Gita and the Uddhava Gita share Krishna's core advice on developing a more complete personal consciousness. But unlike the urgency of an impending battle that drives Krishna's dialogue in the Bhagavad Gita, this dialogue with his dear old friend Uddhava takes place on the eve of Krishna's departure from the world and is filled with philosophy, poetry and practical advice.
