Bhagavad Gita, Author : Brian Hodgkinson |
||
The Bhagavad Gita, or song of the Lord, is part of one of the world's greatest epics, the Mahabharata. As such it is not only a work of great philosophical and religious meaning, but also a poem. This verse translation renders the Sanskrit poetry of the Gita into English iambic pentameters, which bring the vigour and beauty of the original into contemporary English. An intrioduction to Gita, written by the translator himself, sets the poem in a wider philosophical context. Brian Hodgkinson shows that the conversation which took place a few thousand years ago before fighting broke out between rival princes on an Indian battlefield is as relevant to us today as it was when Arjuna first spoke to his charioteer.
