The Right Effort: A Comparative Study of Peace (Santhi) in Buddhism and the Bhagavad Gita

What does it mean to make the right effort in the journey towards inner peace?

In The Right Effort, Medam Dasaratha Ramaiah explores the teachings of Buddhism and the Bhagavad Gita through a comparative and analytical study of spiritual practice, wisdom, discipline, and liberation.
