Bhagavad Gita for those with just a basic understanding of Hinduism

[R Gitananda]

Hello BloodyRose3000

I don't recommend you start with the Bhagavad Gita. The speaker of the Gita itself told Arjuna that it is for the advanced.
I recommend you start with Valmiki's Ramayana. This will give you an understanding of righteousness, chastity, worship,
Dharma and avatara. All these are important parts of Sanatana Dharma. While you are reading you can talk to different
Hindus at Temple and ask them their opinions about the parts that stand out to you.

Specifically, I recommend a beautiful work by Krishna Dharma entitled Ramayana: India's Immortal Tale of Adventure, Love and Wisdom
It is a big, beautiful and inspired work of art which captures the raw emotions of this epic without any of the dryness of the version
by the State University of New York. Although the bound versions are a little pricy you can buy one used or purchase
the paperless (Kindle) edition which can be read without an E-Reader either directly on your computer
(after downloading free software) or online.
