Synopsis
The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most influential texts of Hinduism - for many Western readers it is their first introduction to Sanskrit literature. To properly understand the avatar Krishna's teaching it is essential to read the Bhagavad Gita's companion, the Uddhava Gita. Though set down in writing centuries apart, together the texts contain the full teachings of Krishna.
This accessible translation, the first available in the West, uses language that makes the metaphors of Hinduism comprehensible to a Western reader, while remaining faithful to the teaching of the original. Each chapter is prefaced with a short commentary to help the reader appreciate the message of the text. The Uddhava Gita offers philosophy, sublime poetry, practical guidance (such as instructions on how to meditate) and, ultimately, the hope of a more complete consciousness, in which the life of the body better reflects the life of the spirit.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. An English translation of the companion to the Hindu scripture, "The Bhagavad Gita". Written in the later-9th or early-10th century AD, it contains the last message of the Krishna on the importance of devotion and action according to what is right. Though the underlying message is the same as "The Bhagavad Gita", the approach of the two texts is different. While "The Bhagavad Gita" is an urgent message delivered on the battlefield, the tone of Krishna's farewell to his friend Uddhava is gentle and more accessible. "The Uddhava Gita" is a mixture of sublime devotional passages and practical advice on how to live and meditate. Swami Ambikananda Saraswati's translation uses language that makes the metaphors of Hinduism accessible to a Western readership, while seeking to remain faithful to the teachings of the original. She has prefaced each of the 24 chapters with a short commentary to help the reader appreciate the underlying message of the text. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004146564
