Product Description
In the Bhagavad Gita, Prince Arjuna questions direct, uncompromising questions of his spiritual guide on the eve of a fantastic battle. In this expanded edition of the most legendary and well loved of Indian criptures, Eknath Easwaran contextualizes
the book culturally and historically and clarifies the key concepts of Hindu religious thought and the technical vocabulary of yoga. Chapter introductions, notes, and a glossary help readers know the book’s message. Most importantly, this translation uses simple, clear language to impart the poetry, universality, and timelessness of the Gita’s teachings.Prince Arjuna faced a dilemma that many face sooner or later–whether to take action that is necessary yet morally ambiguous. The difference is that Arjuna’s action was to wage war against his own family tree. With the armies arrayed, Arjuna loses his nerve. Krishna, his charioteer and incarnation of divine consciousness, starts to teach him the scenery of God and of himself, that Arjuna can attain liberation through union with God, and that there are several available paths. And so the most legendary and revered of all Hindu Scriptures goes on to teach the paths of knowledge, devotion, action, and meditation, apt the seed for all the Hindu systems of philosophy and religion that followed. For all of its profundity, Eknath Easwaran manages to translate the Gita in simple prose that neither panders nor obscures. Coupled with his thorough introduction, Easwaran’s version comes off on all the levels it should: as a guide to action, devotional Scripture, a philosophical text, and inspirational reading. So what does Arjuna finally do? He follows his dharma, of course, as we all must. –Brian Bruya
