Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. this was assigned reading in my philosophy 10 class in college. my personal motivation for reading it was my interest in cataclysmic death. that is to say, the atomic bomb. oppenheimer, was said to have remarked upon seeing the devastating power of the bomb, 'i am become death, destroyer of worlds.' now there are also those that say what the quote should have been was 'i am become Time, destroyer of worlds.' but anyway, reading the Bhagavad Gita, is one of those experiences that every human being should experience. it is one of the more important spiritual treasures of mankind.

"The Bhagavad Gita is an intensely spiritual work that forms the cornerstone of the Hindu faith, and is also one of the masterpieces of Sanskrit poetry. It describes how, at the beginning of a mighty battle between the Pandava and Kaurava armies, the god Krishna gives spiritual enlightenment to the warrior, Arjuna, who realized that the true battle is for his own soul." "Juan Mascaro's translation of The Bhagavad Gita captures the extraordinary aural qualities of the original Sanskrit. This edition features a new introduction by Simon Brodbeck, which discussed concepts such as dehin, prakriti and karma."--BOOK JACKET. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
