The Bhagavad Gita

Meer over het boek

A great battle is about to break out between two warring sets of cousins. The Pandava prince Arjuna, a mighty warrior, surveys the battlefield. Suddenly he finds himself gazing on the faces of the friends and family that he must now fight. Deeply conflicted Arjuna casts down his weapons and calls on the council of his charioteer Krishna. So begins the Bhagavad Gita...The Bhagavad Gita is the foundational text of the Hindu faith and one of the most widely read religious works in the world. Mahatma Gandhi famously described it as his spiritual dictionary. It holds a universal appeal which sweeps away boundaries of all types, be they spiritual or secular, temporal or spatial.
