This unique edition of the timeless epic is designed to be accessible for readers without any prior experience of Hinduism. Not simply a translation of the original, Viljoen has simplified and restated the Gita's complex ideas, so that a first-time reader can fully appreciate the scope and beauty of this magnificent Indian classic. Written in concise, modern language the retelling vividly captures the power and depth of the original work. Part of the Mahabharata, the Gita is a dialogue between Prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna. Its verses contain some of the key ideas of Hindu philosophy--Dharma, Moksha, and various yogic practices. Originally written well over a thousand years ago, the Gita has proven to be a timeless source of wisdom, inspiring philosophers and revolutionaries alike in the millennia since it was written. In addition to the retelling of the text, this edition includes a character list, a glossary of important terms, and chapters exploring the back-story from the Mahabharata and the impact and meaning of the Bhagavad Gita itself. The Bhagavad Gita is an approachable way for today's readers to engage with one of history's richest spiritual epics"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 294.5924 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 294.5924 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 294.5924 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 294.5924 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) Adult Nonfiction 294.5924 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 294.5924 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
