Description
The Bhagavad Gita: The Song of God Retold in Simplified English is a unique and accessible retelling of this ancient Indian epic. Edward Viljoen's simplified version of the Gita's complex ideas makes it easy for readers without prior experience of Hinduism to fully appreciate its scope and beauty. Written in concise, modern language, this retelling vividly captures the power and depth of the original work. Part of the Mahabharata, the Gita is a dialogue between two key figures, exploring key ideas of Hindu philosophy such as Dharma, Moksha, and yogic practices. Originally written over a thousand years ago, the Gita has proven to be a timeless source of wisdom, inspiring philosophers and revolutionaries alike. This edition includes a character list, a glossary of important terms, and chapters exploring the back-story and impact of the Bhagavad Gita. With its approachable style, this book provides a way for today's readers to engage with one of history's richest spiritual epics.
