About this book
The Bhagavad Gita - the 18-chapter dialogue in which Krishna instructs the warrior Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, distilling the paths of Yoga (karma, jnana, bhakti) and the Vedanta teaching of the immortal Self. Sir Edwin Arnold's 1900 poetic English rendering, verse with speaker labels.
Relevance to this project
The Gita is the Vedantic sister to the Upanishads already in the library - the Self/Atman teaching and the cycle of rebirth, in the most influential single text of Hindu philosophy. Pairs with the Isa/Katha/Kena Upanishads.
