The Bhagavad GitaWith Chapter Introductions By Diana Morrison This Monumental Poem Is The Cornerstone Of The Hindu Religion And The Most Influential Of Its Scriptures Taking The Form Of A Dialogue Between The Prince Arjuna And Krishna, The Bhagavad Gita Explores Mankind S Spiritual Dilemmas And Examines The Various Pathways To Salvation: Through Enlightenment, Through Action And Through Loving Devotion To The Lord. The Krishna Evoked By Arjuna Is The Spark Of Divinity Within Us All; The Gita Has, Therefore, Something To Offer Every Kind Of Spiritual Aspirant. Its Philosophy Is Both Profound And Practical, Suggesting That Through Renunciation Mankind Can Find True Freedom And A Unity With God And With All Existence. Eknath Easwaran s Translation Is Lucid And Lyrical, And His Introduction To The Text Provides An Excellent Background To Hindu Philosophy. |
