Publisher's Synopsis
The Bhagavadgita, or "Sacred Song", holds an assured place among the world's great scriptures. Hindus regard it with the same respect and love as Christians regard the Gospels. This edition includes the Sanskrit text as well as the English translation and a commentary.;The Gita is a tale of action, taking the form of a dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna on the eve of a battle. Krishna teaches the fearful Arjuna the need for action and the requirement that he - like all mankind - take his place in the world in love and faith. Only through the search for God and the Absolute will the true self be discovered.
