A major new translation of one of the world's most widely read sacred texts
The Bhagavad Gita, or 'Song of the Spirit', is the best known book of India's national epic The Mahabharata.
Based on a dialogue between Bhagavan Krishna and Prince Arjuna on the eve of a great battle, it is held to be the essence of Hindu spirituality, sacred literature and yoga, as well as exploring the great universal themes of courage, honour, death, love, virtue and fulfilment. Of interest to the large number of contemporary spiritual seekers - of any faith and none - who want to read the world's most important sacred texts, and to learn from their wisdom.
Also useful for scholars of Vedic literature and students.
