Description

Two friends have a conversation at the outset of an epic war. One of them, Arjuna, is sad and confused in the face of imminent doom; the other, Krishna, decides to cheer him up and clear his doubts. Through the course of their dialogue, while inspiring Arjuna to do his work, Krishna assumes the role of a mentor and imparts the timeless wisdom that is called the Bhagavad-Gita.

For someone who wants to know about India s grand heritage, religious traditions, philosophy, and spirituality, the Bhagavad-Gita is a good place to start.

Simple, articulate and accessible, The New Bhagavad-Gita takes a unique approach to present a modern translation of this ancient text.

If you thought Eastern philosophy was abstruse and tedious, prepare yourself for a delightful surprise. In this translation of the holiest of Hindu works, the authors present the most profound spiritual insights in a lucid, lively, and accessible language, while their helpful and witty asides help the reader navigate the text without ever feeling swamped. Scholars and laymen alike are in for a treat.

The translation is admirably readable and I hope it will bring many people closer to the profundity of India s ancient traditions.
