Gita on the Green

In 1995, Steven Pressfield introduced the ancient Hindu epic "The Bhagavad-Gita" to a modern audience by restructuring it as a golf novel, "The Legend of Bagger Vance" (now a film directed by Robert Redford). In this book Steven Rosen draws the story out further using 30 years of Gita scholarship.

In 1995, Steven Pressfield decided to introduce the Bhagavad-Gita to a contemporary audience, so he restructured the Gita in terms of a golf novel, The Legend of Bagger Vance. Now a major motion picture directed by Robert Redford and starring Matt Damon and Will Smith, The Legend of Bagger Vance is loosely based on the ancient Hindu epic, The Bhagavad-gita. Steven Rosen, in Gita on the Green: The Mystical Tradition Behind Bagger Vance, draws the story out further using some thirty years of Gita scholarship and a writing style that is both eloquent and thorough.
