Description
The Bhagavad Gita A New Translation, Contexts, Criticism by Gavin D. Flood is a thought-provoking exploration of an ancient Hindu scripture. This new translation of the classic Sanskrit text brings together the skills of leading Hinduist Gavin Flood with the stylistic verve of award-winning poet and translator Charles Martin, resulting in a living text that remains true to the original. The Bhagavad Gita is a devotional, literary, and philosophical work of great beauty and relevance, exploring universal themes such as life and death, war and peace, and sacrifice. Its influence can be seen in the writings of influential thinkers and leaders, including Mahatma Gandhi, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and T. S. Eliot. The text is accompanied by a full introduction, explanatory annotations, and a range of seminal analogues and commentaries. This volume presents a comprehensive understanding of The Bhagavad Gita, with five essays by leading Hinduists discussing its roots, influence on yoga and transcendentalism, and ongoing global impact.
