The Bhagavad Gita and the West (CW 142/146) is a collected works title composed of two lecture cycles. The first five lectures are The Bhagavad Gita and the Epistles of Paul [which is transferred directly from the already existing set on this website to this second location as well], and the last nine lectures are a new reading of The Occult Significance of the Bhagavad Gita. Included in this as well is the 5th lecture of the Gospel of St. Mark cycle which I have also transferred a copy from [as it is on this site]. Lastly there is the reading of the Bhagavad Gita itself.
