Summary River of Compassion is a reflection on one of the most sacred texts of Hinduism. Father Bede Griffiths shows how the Gita can be a practical spiritual guide to a Christian on the spiritual path. This commentary has been written for the benefit of people who have little or no knowledge of the background to these texts, need a sense of direction to help understand the bearing that these works could have on their own lives, and want to use the Gita as a practical guide in their spiritual life
