Описание: The Bhagavad Gita, "The Song of the Lord," is probably the best known of all the Indian scriptures, and Easwaran`s clear, accessible translation is the best-selling edition. The Gita opens dramatically, with prince Arjuna collapsing in anguish on the brink of a war that he doesn`t want to fight. Arjuna has lost his way on the battlefield of life, and turns to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, the Lord himself. Krishna replies in 700 verses of sublime instruction on living and dying, loving and working, and the nature of the soul. This book includes an extensive and very readable introduction, which places the Gita in its historical setting, explains the key concepts, and brings out the universality of its teachings. Individual chapter introductions prepare the reader for the main themes, and notes, a Sanskrit glossary, and an index are included. Although the battlefield is a perfect backdrop, for Easwaran the Gita`s subject is the war within, the struggle for self-mastery that every human being must wage. Arjuna`s dilemma is acutely modern, and the Gita`s message remains as relevant for us now as it was for ancient India.
A template for living both profound and practical, the Bhagavad Gita has for millennia provided sincere seekers with nothing less than a roadmap to enlightenment.
Set on a battlefield at the onset of a terrible war, the warrior-prince Arjuna, overcome by despair and on the verge of giving up, seeks guidance from his charioteer and divine mentor, Krishna.
What follows is a remarkable and life-changing dialogue, dealing with themes of life and death, the nature of the self and creation, purpose, duty, devotion and freedom from worldly suffering.
Rory Mackay's new translation renders the original Sanskrit into clear and understandable English, and comes with an in-depth commentary inspired by the works of Adi Shankara and traditional Advaita Vedanta.
With a timeless message as relevant now as it was two thousand years ago, 'The Divine Song' makes a perfect starting point for both beginner and intermediate students of Vedanta and, indeed, anyone seeking a better, happier and more successful life.

Описание: Die Bhagavad-Gоtв ist die bedeutendste und bekannteste Episode aus dem indischen Nationalepos Mahвbhвrata. Als eines der дltesten Bьcher der Menschheit enthдlt es unsagbare Schдtze unvergдnglicher Weisheit und des Wissens. Die "Gоtв" enthдlt einen Dialog, in dem Krishna, der Avatвra und "Wagenlenker", zusammen mit Arjuna, seinem Chela, die hцchstmцgliche spirituelle Philosophie erцrtert. Fragen des alltдglichen Lebens erhalten tiefgrьndige Antworten zum Verstehen unserer selbst. Zugleich цffnet die Gоtв die Sicht in Welten, die Ursache und Grund fьr alle physische Existenz auf Erden sind. Mit dem zweiten Teil, den "Studien ьber die Bhagavad-Gоtв", schlie t Judge eine Lьcke zwischen alter Weisheit und westlichem Denken. Der verborgene Gehalt der symbolhaft dargestellten kriegerischen Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den beiden Linien des Fьrstenstammes der Kurus und der Pandus sowie die Bedeutung der Geschehnisse der handelnden Personen erschlie en sich dem Leser in ihrer ganzen ethischen Tragweite. Er erkennt sich als Teil des Ganzen, wodurch die Grenzen zwischen dem Дu eren und dem Inneren mehr und mehr schwinden. Ein Werk, das die unverдnderbaren, zeitlosen Naturgesetzmд igkeiten in einer derart spirituellen Schцnheit und philosophischen Aussagekraft offenbart, sollte in keinem Bьcherschrank fehlen. Mahatma Gandhi sagte: "Wenn mich Zweifel quдlen, wenn Enttдuschungen vor meinen Augen liegen und wenn ich keinen Lichtschimmer am Horizont erblicke, wende ich mich der Bhagavad-Gоtв zu."
