| Publisher Description: 'As with so many of his books, Parrinder's translation (and brief commentary) on the Gita has stood the test of time ... the beginner will find this book the best translation, and even adepts cannot help but benefit from Parrinder's work. 'Martin Forward, Epworth Review The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most widely read Hindu scriptures in the Western world. Taking the form of a dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and the divine Krishna on the eve of battle, it is concerned with the most profound aspects of social and religious duty, and the relationship of human beings to God. In its eighteen short chapters it explores the spiritual struggle of the human soul and the search for both the true self and eternal life, culminating in an unparalleled vision of God the omnipotent. |
