Summary:
"The
Bhagavad
Gita
is the most widely read Hindu religious text in the Western world and a key work for understanding Indian religions and the way Hinduism has been represented in modern India and the West. The poem considers social and religious duty, the nature of sacrifice, and the relationship of human beings to God, and continues to inspire a wide variety of interpretations, both within India and beyond. This new translation captures all the force and beauty of the original language of this awe-inspiring poem. Ideal for readers encountering the
Bhagavad
Gita
for the first time, this edition provides a full cultural and historical context in its introduction and notes."--From publisher.
