Description
The Bhagavad Gita is a profound spiritual classic that presents a timeless dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna. It opens dramatically on a battlefield, as Arjuna, having lost his way, turns in anguish to Krishna for answers to the fundamental questions of life.
The Plot
In this moment of crisis, Krishna replies in 700 verses of instruction on living and dying, loving and working, and the nature of the soul. As Easwaran points out, the battlefield is only the setting: the Gita is really about the inner struggle for self-mastery that each of us must face. Through their exchange, the text explores the essence of the self and how to do what is right.
Themes
- Self-Mastery: The inner struggle to do what is right.
- Spiritual Enlightenment: The quest for understanding one's true nature.
- Devotion: The relationship between the self and the divine.
Eknath Easwaran's translation is accompanied by a 55-page introduction that places the Gita in its historical setting and brings out the timelessness of its teachings, making it accessible to modern readers while preserving its rich heritage. Chapter introductions clarify key concepts, and notes and a glossary explain Sanskrit terms.
