Book Review: The Bhagavad Gita by Eknath Easwaran (Translator)

bhagavadgita Book Review: The Bhagavad Gita by Eknath Easwaran (Translator)

One question went through my mind over and over again while reading The Bhagavad Gita, and that is: How am I going to write a review of a book of Hindu scripture that has existed for thousands of years? With that, other questions arose:

  1. What can I tell a mostly Western audience (I’m only guessing at this), who likely knows almost nothing about Eastern religions, about a book whose title they may not be able to pronounce let alone understand?
  2. How can I, as the reviewer, help them understand that The Bhagavad Gita is worth reading, even though their religious views may not coincide with the teachings found in the Gita?
  3. How can I accomplish answering these questions in a coherent manner?

Then I set out to answer these questions, and I hope this makes sense to you.

Background

The Bhagavad Gita is considered by Hindus around the world to be a sacred text, or scripture. It is a fascinating text with a fascinating history. The Bhagavad Gita, which is also simply referred to as the Gita, is a small part of a huge Sanskrit epic called the Mahabharata, which is one of the Hindu “histories.” The other volume of the Histories…More

Review of “Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us” by Seth Godin

January 3rd, 2011 // 11:58 am @ Josh Nuttall

Tribes Review of “Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us” by Seth Godin

“You can choose to lead, or not. You can choose to have faith, or not. You can choose to contribute to the tribe, or not.

 “Are there thousands of reasons why you, of all people, aren’t the right one to lead? Why you don’t have the resources or the authority or the genes or the momentum to lead? Probably. So what? You still get to make the choice.”

 —Seth Godin, “Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us,” p. 146

 Are you looking for a good leadership book to read to start the New Year? This is a good one; better than I thought it would be. If you have ever attended one of the Prosperity Summits co-sponsored by REIC, you may remember how many times Garrett White said the word “tribe.” When I attended my first Prosperity Summit, Garrett probably said the word “tribe” at last twenty times. Because he said it so many times, I became curious about 1) what a tribe is, 2) how to create one myself, 3) how to become a tribe member, and 4) what the big deal is.

Garrett read this book and began to understand the power of a tribe. I read this book and began to understand the power of a tribe. You will, too.

What do tribes have to do with real estate? In a word, nothing. But that’s not important. The way tribes tie into what we do here at REIC is this: when you have extra income produced by real estate, you have extra time; if you have extra time you can help the world by living your soul purpose. Those you affect, help, work with, lead, etc. while living your soul purpose are your tribe. Real estate is the tool used to finance your soul purpose so you can build a tribe.

Make the choice to read this book this year. It can change your perspective on many different topics. The year is fresh; opportunities to lead a tribe abound. Don’t let the year slip by without doing something great!

The Week of Gratitude

November 22nd, 2010 // 2:57 pm @ Josh Nuttall

Gratitude The Week of Gratitude

“Our society is afflicted by a spirit of thoughtless arrogance unbecoming those who have been so magnificently blessed. How grateful we should be for the bounties we enjoy. Absence of gratitude is the mark of the narrow, uneducated mind. It bespeaks a lack of knowledge and the ignorance of self-sufficiency. It expresses itself in ugly egotism and frequently in wanton mischief. We have seen our beaches, our parks, our forests littered with ugly refuse by those who evidently have no appreciation for their beauty. I have driven through thousands of acres of blackened land scourged by a fire evidently set by a careless smoker whose only concern had been the selfish pleasure gained from a cigarette.

“Where there is appreciation, there is courtesy, there is concern for the rights and property of others. Without appreciation, there is arrogance and evil.

“Where there is gratitude, there is humility, as opposed to pride.

“How magnificently we are blessed! How thankful we ought to be!”

 —Gordon B. Hinckley, “‘With All Thy Getting Get Understanding’,” Ensign, Aug 1988, 2–5

Last year, I wrote an article titled “Thanksgiving Day – The Forgotten Holiday” to pay homage to a holiday that is about more than good food, family, friends, and a post-turkey nap. The very foundation of the Thanksgiving Day holiday is to feel and show gratitude for what and whom we have in our lives. It is not an accident or a coincidence that Thanksgiving Day is celebrated after the years bounty is brought into storehouses. It is at this time of year especially that our ancestors were able to take a step back and actually see a physical manifestation of not only the fruit of their labor, but physical, quantifiable proof of their abundance. I hope that as you read this post, you will think about the things and the people that you are most grateful for and express your gratitude for those blessings.

What are you Grateful For?

Start with a surface-level list of items you use every day that makes modern life great. Your list may look something like this:

  • House(s)
  • Car(s)
  • Cell phone
  • Laptop or desktop computer (or both)
  • High-speed internet
  • Wireless internet access
  • Post-It notes
  • Cable TV
  • NetFlix
  • The latest Harry Potter movie
  • Josh Groban’s new album

I encourage you to use the above list to get yourself thinking of all of the gadgets, tools, and entertainment sources that make your daily life better.

Next, create a list of ten (10) people in your life that make getting through the day-to-day bearable. Include family members, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances to get started. Feel free to add more lines yourself.

  1. __________________________________________
  2. __________________________________________
  3. __________________________________________
  4. __________________________________________
  5. __________________________________________
  6. __________________________________________
  7. __________________________________________
  8. __________________________________________
  9. __________________________________________
  10. __________________________________________

Next to the person’s name, identify why you are grateful for them. What have they done for you in the past year that allowed them to show up on your gratitude list? If there are multiple reasons, list all of them.

This is when this exercise will get fun—for you and for those people on your list.

By the end of Thanksgiving Day, contact the people on your list, tell them about what you did, and express the gratitude you feel towards them. I would be extremely surprised that the opportunities you create to show gratitude will end badly. On the contrary, these opportunities will likely be among the most memorable of the year, for you and those you are grateful for.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jerusalem Trip – Last Update

November 1st, 2010 // 12:11 pm @ Josh Nuttall

Hello again family and friends!

The night I emailed last, we went on a sailboat ride on the Nile River and watched the sunset. It was peaceful and relaxing, with bulrushes along the riverbank. We were imagining baby Moses traveling along the bank. The next day, we went to the Valley of the Kings, which is along the west side of the bank of the Nile. It is a valley in the desert where ancient Pharos buried their tombs deep beneath the ground. Among those were King Tut, Seti I and Ramses II, to name a few. King Tut has one of his four coffins on display, and Tut himself is displayed as well. The halls to the tombs are decorated in detail, and we enjoyed walking through them.  We went over to the Valley of the Queens where Queen Hatshepsut has a funeral memorial. We also went to the Ramesseum, an old palace area where the largest statue of Ramses II was found. It is fallen over in pieces, but it is still impressive. After touring, we did a little shopping, and we caught the evening flight from Luxor back to Cairo. 

 The next day in Cairo, we left early and drove out to Giza to see the Pyramids. We went inside the Great Pyramid, the biggest one, which has one long, narrow, squat tunnel that inclines steeply upward. You have to climb up this tunnel for about 10 to 15 minutes, and then it ends in a tomb near the top. There is an empty sarcophagus there, but not much else. Then we climbed back down. We walked around taking pictures and then drove a short distance away to take a panoramic picture of all of the pyramids. We then went on a camel ride! These camels were very docile and sweet and Kris got to go on a little gallop on his. We had a heyday taking pictures.  That day, we also saw the remains of the ancient capital of Memphis, with a few ruins. After that, we drove to Sakkara, which is the location of a Step Pyramid: the oldest stone structure in EXISTANCE. Before then, around 2,700 B.C., they used mud bricks to build buildings, and those aren’t around anymore. The Step Pyramid is 4,700 years old! We also saw a few tombs in Sakkara, which date to the same period, and are beautifully preserved; the engravings showing everyday life in color! I am amazed that paint can last so long! We came home with tired feet that day and were happy to get a good night rest.

This morning, we took a trip to the Cairo Egyptian Museum. We saw most of the King Tut display, which is massive and extensive. It was hard to imagine that all his stuff fit into the small, empty tomb that we saw a few days before. We saw tons and tons of very old and very cool things. Kris and I went to the Mummy room and paid our respects to the great Pharaohs themselves, including Seti I and Ramses II. That was very interesting.

After the museum, we did a little more shopping. We are done with all of our touring, and are done packing our bags. Now we are just waiting for our flight. We miss our kids so much and can’t stop thinking about them. We are ready to come home! Our amazing travels feel complete! Thank you to all of you who helped out while we have been gone. We can’t wait to see all of you!

 Love,

Kalenn and Kris

Update from Cairo, Egypt

October 29th, 2010 // 11:32 am @ Josh Nuttall

Hello family and friends!

Well, we have survived our first experiences in Egypt! WOW. That’s all I have to say…just kidding.

Egypt is VERY different from anywhere we have ever been. We flew into Cairo yesterday around lunchtime and took off to see the Tomb of the Forgotten Soldier—the place where President Mohamed Anwar Sadat was assassinated while promoting peace with Israel. We then went to the Muhammad Ali Mosque, which is very beautiful and very old, and it was the first time we got to take off our shoes and go into a Mosque. We learned a lot about the beliefs of Islam on that visit. What was interesting was that there were many Egyptian children there on field trips, and all of them they kept STARING at us and giggling and coming up to us to practice a little English (taking English is mandatory in Egyptian schools). They were very bold and wanted pictures with us. Our guide says it’s because they love Americans, and they also LOVE strait and blonde hair, since Egyptian hair  is curly and black. Our friend, Vickey, has strait, blonde hair all the way past her bottom, and the kids loved that! We had a security guard with us who kept shooing them away from us.

We past miles and miles of “city of the dead,” which are graveyards that extend forever and ever in tombs that look like buildings. A few living people live there rent free, in exchange for guarding these dead cities from grave robbers who steal and sell body parts.

The poverty in Egypt is horrendous. In a city with over 22 million people, a baby is born every 28 seconds, and one million new people come into the city every 9 months. This equates to absolute squalor.

Driving through Cairo is an EXPERIENCE. The city boasts 24-hour traffic, and indeed, when we left the hotel this morning at 4:30 am, there was traffic. DRIVING HERE IS EXTREMELY SCARY. There are few rules. Road lanes are merely SUGGESTIONS. There are sometimes 5 cars stretched across a 3-lane road, all fighting to get ahead of each other. Also, there is no such thing as a crosswalk. People are always walking in the street, and crossing wherever and whenever they feel like it—even when the vehicles around them are moving at 50 mph. We saw horses and carts galloping through traffic with the cars! Children have no car seats, and 15-passenger vans cram 30 people in them. We drove through the city with eyes as big as dinner plates as we watched this all unfold before us. I would NEVER, EVER, EVER rent a car here! Hire only an experienced, local driver to drive you though Cairo.

We made it safe and sound to our hotel and ate carefully. Only bottled water for us, and Brother Judd says, “only eat what has been cooked or what can be peeled.” No eating fresh veggies that have been washed by the water here, and no dairy. All of the water here comes from the Nile, which is not safe for foreigners to ingest.

Today, we left at 4:30 am to catch a 6:20 am flight to Luxor, in “upper” Egypt, which is in the south. We visited the temples of Luxor and Karnak. They are amazing! We found very fascinating Egyptian pictures all over them that are related to our temples. The entire Karnak Temple was a project over 1000 years and many different dynasties. This was a place Abraham visited. Joseph of Egypt and Moses both lived here, too!

We had some free time this afternoon and took a horse and buggy ride around town and took a nap. Tomorrow we are going to visit King Tut’s tomb and the Valley of the King. Then we will fly back to Cairo tomorrow night.  We are safe and happy and enjoying this new place. 

Love,

Kalenn and Kris

Last Update from Jerusalem

October 26th, 2010 // 12:10 pm @ Josh Nuttall

Hello again everybody!

Today was our last official tour day in Israel. The theme for today was “walking where Jesus walked.” Our journey began on the other side of the Mount of Olives in Bethphage, where Jesus obtained a donkey to ride into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday for his triumphal entry. We then focused on Christ’s final 24 hours. We overlooked Jerusalem and pointed out the different places he was taken (from the top of the Mount of Olives), the upper room, the Garden of Gethsemane, Caiaphas’ Palace (the palace where Pilate was), Herod’s Palace, back to Pilate, and then to Golgotha and the Garden Tomb. We went to these places along the paths most likely taken by Him, and it was very special to experience these places. Our journey ended at the Garden Tomb, where we sang many hymns, listened to a talk by Elder Jeffery R. Holland, and discussed Christ’s seven statements while on the cross. Our testimony of the Savior’s life, mortal ministry, and earthly mission has been solidified. We love Him and have obtained many witnesses of His divinity on this indescribable journey.

Tonight is our final meeting together with all our new friends. Tomorrow is a free day where we plan on visiting Gethsemane and the Garden Tomb again, amongst other things. Thursday morning, it’s off to Cairo, Egypt.

Love,

Kris and Kalenn

The Latest from Jerusalem

October 25th, 2010 // 2:52 pm @ Josh Nuttall

October 25, 2010

Hi everybody! Here is the latest. 

Yesterday we drove out of Jerusalem east towards the Dead Sea, and then followed along the road south on the western shore. Right at the end of the Sea is the fortress of Masada.  I really didn’t know anything about the place, but I sure do now! This was a place that King Herod built as a Hideaway Palace complex for himself in times of trouble. He built it on top of a mountain 900 meters above the Dead Sea. We took a gondola up and walked around the ruins. Another major thing there happened after Herod passed. In 70 A.D. or so, about 900 Jewish rebels who fought against Roman rule hid up there and made that their hiding post. The Romans got wind that that’s where they were and finally decided to stop them. They sent 15,000 men to put down the resistance. After 5 months of building a ramp up to the top of the mountain, they finally breached the wall. What they found stunned them. The Jewish men had killed their families and then themselves, preferring death by their own hands to death and torture by the Romans. The Romans found 900+ people dead, except 2 women and 5 children who had hidden in a cistern.  It’s a very sobering story, and they made a movie about it, but I didn’t see it.  Later, we went to Qumran and saw where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, and the ruins where the Jewish monks lived that wrote them.  We also stopped at the Dead Sea for a float!  That was amazing!  Kris actually floated as if he weighed ½ a pound! We shot lots of footage. We stopped in Bethany at the end of the day and saw the traditional tomb of Lazarus and talked about that story. In the end, it was a very tiring day.

Today was a bit easier.  This morning, we walked by Stephen’s Gate and saw the remains of the pool of Bethesda—the traditional site of the birth place of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Then we went to the Mount of Olives and to the Orson Hyde Memorial Garden, which is amazing. It is next to the current Garden of Gethsemane; but in the time of Jesus, the Orson Hyde garden was part of Gethsemane. It had a very special feeling to it, and Kris and I both felt the Spirit extremely strong there.

After that, we went to the “City of David,” not Bethlehem, but the original Jerusalem portion that King David had built. The foundations of the palace were recently discovered. There we went tromping through Hezekiah’s tunnel, which was way fun. We had free time this afternoon and went shopping.  That’s the last 2 days in a nutshell.

Love,

Kris and Kalenn

Jerusalem Trip Update: Double Whammy!

October 25th, 2010 // 12:04 pm @ Josh Nuttall

Today, I have two updates from Kris and Kalenn on their Jerusalem trip. It sounds like they are really having a great time out there.

October 20, 2010

 Well, we have had an amazing and eventful last two days. Brother Judd keeps us running from one thing to the next all day! Yesterday morning seems like a week ago, honestly. We left Nazareth and drove up north, almost to the Lebanon border, to the ancient city of Dan. There is a beautiful nature preserve and a nice nature walk that we took to get to the ruins. The ruins were amazing and there was also an old Canaanite gate there made of mud bricks that were still somewhat intact. They say that Abraham himself would have been at that place. He went to Dan to rescue his nephew, Lot, when he was captured. The gate would have been there then. Very cool!

 After Dan, we drove to what was Cesarea Phillipi, where Jesus took his disciples and gave the famous “whom do men say that I am” talk when Peter replied, “thou art the Christ.” This place has a spring of water that flows out of the rock of a huge cliff. We really felt the Spirit there.  After that, we drove near the Syrian border and down to the Sea of Galilee. We stopped at the Mount of Beatitudes, the traditional site of the Sermon on the Mount. There is a Catholic church there surrounded by beautiful gardens. We stopped for an hour and reflected and talked about what transpired there. Next, we drove down the hill to the ruins of Capernaum. This site was amazing!  It was referred to as “Christ’s own city,” so we knew he actually lived there. The synagogue is still there, rebuilt a couple decades after Christ’s time, but rebuilt over the original site. We know that Christ gave the Bread of Life sermon in Capernaum, in the synagogue, so we actually stood in a space we know for SURE he was! This was so awesome!! We also saw the site that is traditionally believed to be Peter’s home.

 After Capernaum, we hopped on a cute, wooden boat and went for a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee! We spent about 45 minutes on the water, sang “Master, the Tempest is Raging,” and talked about what happened there. We sailed down to Ein Gev, a city located on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, where we spent the night. Kris and I took a moonlit dip in the water on the shore, which was pretty warm and very clear. We could see our feet when we were up to our waists.

 Today we drove out to Mt. Tabor, the traditional site of Christ’s transfiguration. They load people up in vans to haul them to the top, but Kris and I and a few others in our group decided to hike up to the top. It took almost an hour, but was a great experience! It was very special to us to be in that sacred space. Lots of crowds go there, and it ended up taking all morning. We learned that Spencer W. Kimball, on one occasion, felt that it definitely happened there, and he felt it was in one certain area where we were. He referred to it as “the highest place on earth.”

 After that, we drove to the small city of Nain, where Jesus raised the widow’s son from the dead. It says he was there the day after he was in Capernaum, which is a distance of about 23 miles! Definitely doable, but a long days’ walk for sure.

 Then we went to the Jordan River, to a Christian baptismal site. Lots of people go there to get baptized and they actually have a service there where you can rent white clothes. They have clergy available to baptize you.  There is one member of our group that is not a member of the Church, and she chose to do that! Kind of cool! It’s a beautiful river and very jade green.

 Next, we drove down through the Judean wilderness and ended up at the ruins of Jericho: the oldest city on earth. There was a little bit of the wall left that we could see, but for the most part, it was a large mound of dirt about 1200 feet by 50 feet or so. Then we drove up to Jerusalem where we are now. It was dark by then so we haven’t seen much, but tomorrow will be our first day exploring this magnificent city. We are feeling well and are having a blast!

October 23, 2010

Two more days have gone by in Jerusalem and we have had more incredible experiences every day.  Yesterday was a history lesson. We went over to the complex where the Israeli Museum is.  They have a large, outdoor model of Jerusalem dated from the time of Christ (or just after; I think it was around 60 A.D. or something). It was about 40 feet by 20 feet long or so, and VERY detailed. Each 1/4″ was equal to a foot. It was neat to see where the walls were located at that time, and what the temple looked like. Next, we saw the Scroll of the Dead display, otherwise known as the Dead Sea Scrolls found near Qumran. These were amazing!  Then we blitzed the Israeli Museum. Brother Judd marched us through, and I quote, with dispatch!” and saw all the highlights. We only had time to spend about an hour there instead of a couple days if we wanted to see everything. They had artifacts from Old Testament times, like weapons, jewelry, kids toys, etc. all dated from 1000 to 3000 B.C. Crazy old stuff! Also, they had things like small engraved stone “seals” in the shape of ovals used to seal letters, which had the owners’ names carved on them. One was found in the Mt. Carmel area with the name Jezebel on it! Jezebel lived in that area and it dated back to her time, so it was quite possibly hers!

After the Israeli Museum, we went to the Holocaust Memorial, which is similar to the one in Washington D.C. It was a very, very sad place, and we came away with a sick, depressed feeling; but with a feeling of gratitude for our lives and our families.

Then we drove out to Bethlehem to visit a shop that is owned by a member of the Church out here. That’s all we did in Bethlehem. We went back to the Western Wall (by this time, it was about sunset) to watch the Jews bring in the Sabbath. This was unbelievable! Jewish families all gather at the WALL to celebrate. They sing, dance, chant, and pray together, sometimes in large circles, dancing in a circle. Even the Israeli soldiers holding their guns were singing and dancing. We saw all sorts of Jews of the different sects: Jews with long curls by their ears (including little boys with them!) and fedoras, Jews with tall, fur hats, and “regular” Jews wearing their yamikas.  It was so fascinating. Unfortunately, we couldn’t take pictures because Jews believe that operating machinery is breaking the Sabbath, and operating a camera qualifies. Also, we couldn’t take notes because operating a ball point pen is also breaking the Sabbath!

Today we slept in!!  We didn’t have to report at the bus until 9:15 am! We drove up to the BYU Jerusalem Center for our Church service. Here in Israel, members of the Church meet on Saturdays because it is very difficult for them to get work off on Sundays, since Sunday is a work day. So we had Church on Saturday! BTW, they call them “Fast Sabbaths”, not fast Sundays! The BYU JS has its Sacrament Meetings in the auditorium, which overlooks the old city from the Mount of Olives. The organ is in the back of the room, so as you look at the speaker, you are also looking at a full glass window of Jerusalem! Absolutely amazing. We got very emotional when we sang, “There is a Green Hill Far Away” during the sacrament, because the “hill” we were in fact on the hill we were singing about. It wasn’t far away. Gethsemane is also on the Mount of Olives. Double amazing!

After Church, we went back to change and headed out to Bethlehem again. We went to the Church of the Nativity, the Greek Orthodox Church on the traditional site of the cave where Jesus was born. The Church dates back to the 5th century A.D. and is the oldest Christian church in Israel. We felt the Spirit there, and felt it was a sacred place.

Afterwards, we had a spiritual program on the bus as we headed out of Bethlehem. We stopped at an overlook to see the shepherd’s fields, and we sang Christmas Carols. It was neat, and I am so excited to come home and get ready for Christmas!

Our experience here is affecting us permanently in how we feel about the Savior. We feel so close to Him and to His life, having actually been here and seen where He lived. We love him!

Update: Kris and Kalenn in Jerusalem

October 19th, 2010 // 2:12 pm @ Josh Nuttall

Kris and Kalenn left on their trip to Jerusalem and the surrounding area (including Egypt) on Saturday. First, they flew from Salt Lake City to Atlanta; then from Atlanta to Tel Aviv non-stop. I received this update from Kalenn yesterday morning local (Utah) time:

“Hello from the holy land!

“Kris and I made it here safely and are having an amazing time! We had a nice, long flight, and managed to sleep quite a bit. The first night, we went from the airport to what was Joppa, near Tel Aviv. This was where the Apostle Peter raised a woman from the dead, where the Gospel [of Jesus Christ] was first spread to all nations in New Testament times, and where the Prophet Jonah fled when avoiding Nineveh. We then spent the night in Tel Aviv.

“This morning (Monday), we woke up and took a jog on the Mediterranean shore. We visited Caesarea, the Roman capital, where the Apostle Paul was held captive, and where he spoke to King Agrippa [and] almost convinced him to become a Christian. Kris got a kick out of seeing King Herod the Great’s real estate (the ruins of his palace are right on the ocean). Herod even had his own fish farm in the Palace!

“We then drove up to Mt. Carmel, overlooking the Jezreel Valley, otherwise known as the Valley of Armageddon. This was a very powerful place. Also, on top of Mt. Carmel was the traditional site of the Prophet Elijah’s face-off with the 450 priests of Baal. (P. S. they lost and they all died) ) (P. P. S. Elijah had to douse his alter many times with water to show that he was not using trickery. Apparently, the priests of Baal always lit a little fire under the alter to make it appear as if it combusted spontaneously.

“After leaving Mt. Carmel, we drove to a city called Haifa, the industrial center to the north. We visited a cemetery where four LDS members are buried. These people played a pivotal role in the Church being recognized formerly by the modern state of Israel.

“We then drove over to Nazareth, where we are now. We visited the Nazareth village. It is a collection of recreated pieces of a village that is built over the ruins of a 1st Century village. We saw a real olive press, as well as ruins of an old grape press where families would go to squish their grapes barefoot—yum! Apparently, you only get the best wine when you take your shoes off to extract the juice. This was an amazing place to feel the Spirit, especially as we went into a replica of a synagogue like the one Jesus would have publicly announced that he was the Messiah. Remember the quote, “this day is this fulfilled in your ears?” That was stated here.

“We are now at our hotel. We love our traveling companions and have made friends with all of them.  Our tour director is awesome! We are having the time of our lives!”

Love,

Kris and Kalenn
