Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. The Gita is a song-not just any song, but a very special song, the song of God-sung by the Divine Being of infinite consciousness to His most beloved devotee, Arjuna. Arjuna in Sanskrit means clear white light, the brightness and clarity, the name of the man who manifested the clarity of pure devotion by which the Lord's wisdom may be heard, and by which the universal form may be perceived. And what a song it is! A symphony of soul's longing for divinity, of the search for clarity, the explanations of yoga-what constitutes divine union, and how one gets there. No subject of spiritual evolution remains neglected by the Gita. The Gita has been translated into more languages than any other literary work. In English alone there are more renditions than can be counted. Each one has its own character, each one a slightly different analysis. Some are poetic, some philosophical, some dogmatic, some universal. This translation by Dr. Prasad is just beautiful-so simple and clear. He uses just enough sanskrit to convey the majesty and beauty of the language and the intensity of the dialogue, and yet does not leave the reader dumbfounded in an unintelligible maze of vocabulary. The universal principle of the philosophy he espouses are filled with poetic grace and style. He captures so much of the Grace of the Gita, even in the prose of English, that the orchestrations of wisdom cannot but help lull our hearts after every chapter. From Confusion's first desire to neglect one's duty or responsibilities, to the infinite vision of the Lord as a consequence of total surrender to the will of God, Prasad's rendering takes the reader from doubts and misgivings to perfect efficiency in all that one undertakes. The Bhagavad-Gita has the original Sanskrit text with Roman transliteration, and a lucid English rendition. Concise and to the point commentaries on two hundred twenty-seven selected key verses are provided. One hundred thirty three verses are printed in red to enable the first-time readers to study these verses before delving deep into the vast ocean of transcendental knowledge. The teachings of saints and sages of major religious denominations as well as world leaders and scholars have been included. Quotations from the Vedas, Puranas, Upanisads, Smrtis, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Bhakti-sutras, Brahma-sutra, Yoga-sutra, as well as other major scriptures of the world such as the Bible, Dhammapad and Koran have been incorporated to underline the basic unity of all religious thoughts and to promote the universal brotherhood of mankind. Epilogue, references, Sanskrit transliteration and pronuciation guide, glossary and index are provided. A guide to meditation, beautiful pictures and Gita Calisa are included for daily Sadhana.
