Book Reviews of Bhagavad Gita
Book Review: Answer to Thomas Hochman
Summary: 5 Stars
I am the author/transaltor of this book. Thomas (my middle initial too) is right. This translation takes for granted that everyone has read my other book Avatara where all the background information required to understand the Gita is present and has been in print for over thirty years. In fact, it was the first philosophical text to appear in a Philosophy Department in America,at a time when the Classics of India were almost unknown in this Country or taught in Religion Departments. The Gita, in this present form or in the original Sanskrit one, has nothing to do with Religion the way we understand Religion in the West. It is a text about decision-making and philosophy.Thanks for making it obvious to other readers.
Summary of Bhagavad Gita
The Bhagavad Gita forms a small part-seven hundred stanzas-of the Mahabharata epic, two hundred thousand lines that are but a part of the Bhisma-Parvam. Contained in the Gita's pages are the secrets of life. The story takes an historical event, a war, and uses this as a setting to illustrate basic human conflicts-understanding action and non-action, how to take part in society, how to understand your place in the universal scheme, as well as explaining the secrets of meditation. There are even complete instructions for understanding the dying process. It is a book to be read again and again, at various stages of life's path, for once you truly comprehend the material presented, you are well on your way to understanding the meaning of life! This edition contains a new Preface by the author that discusses the importance of the Gita for keeping our heart, mind, and soul open for continual nourishment and growth.General Books
