The Bhagavad Gita Easwaran
Description
Prince Arjuna faced a dilemma that many face sooner or
later--whether to take action that is necessary yet morally
ambiguous. The difference is that Arjuna's action was to wage war
against his own family. With the armies arrayed, Arjuna loses his
nerve. Krishna, his charioteer and incarnation of divine
consciousness, begins to teach him the nature of God and of
himself, that Arjuna can attain liberation through union with God,
and that there are several available paths. And so the most famous
and revered of all Hindu Scriptures goes on to teach the paths of
knowledge, devotion, action, and meditation, becoming the seed for
all the Hindu systems of philosophy and religion that followed. For
all of its profundity, Eknath Easwaran manages to translate the
Gita in easy prose that neither panders nor obscures. Coupled with
his thorough introduction, Easwaran's version comes off on all the
levels it should: as a guide to action, devotional Scripture, a
philosophical text, and inspirational reading. So what does Arjuna
finally do? He follows his dharma, of course, as we all must.
