Description

Two friends have a conversation at the outset of an epic war. One of them, Arjuna, is sad and confused in the face of imminent doom; the other, Krishna, decides to cheer him up and clear his doubts. Through the course of their dialogue, while inspiring Arjuna to do his work, Krishna assumes the role of a mentor and imparts the timeless wisdom that is called the Bhagavad-Gita. For someone who wants to know about India's grand heritage, religious traditions, philosophy, and spirituality, the Bhagavad-Gita is a good place to start. "Simple, articulate and accessible, The New Bhagavad-Gita takes a unique approach to present a modern translation of this ancient text." N. R. NARAYANA MURTHY Founder-Chairman and Chief Mentor, Infosys Technologies Ltd.
