This edition includes chapter introductions, notes and a Sanskrit glossary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Easwaran grew up in the Hindu tradition in India, learned Sanskrit from a young age, and became a professor of English literature before coming to the West. He is a gifted teacher and an authority on the Indian classics and world mysticism. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Bhagavad Gita opens, dramatically, on a battlefield, as the warrior Arjuna turns in anguish to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental questions of life. Yet the Gita is not what it seems – it’s not a dialogue between two mythical figures at the dawn of Indian history. “The battlefield is a perfect backdrop, but the Gita’s subject is the war within, the struggle for self-mastery that every human being must wage if he or she is to emerge from life victorious.”","brand":"Nilgiri Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47150749516016,"sku":"9781586380236","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781586380236_p0.jpg?v=1763803181","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781586380236","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
