About this book
Sir Edwin Arnold's translation of the Bhagavad Gita brings one of humanity's most revered spiritual texts to vivid life through masterful poetic verse. This ancient Hindu scripture, composed of 700 verses, forms the philosophical heart of the Indian epic Mahabharata and stands as a cornerstone of world literature and spiritual wisdom.
On the eve of a devastating battle, Prince Arjuna faces a profound moral crisis, questioning whether he should fight against his own kinsmen. In response, Lord Krishna imparts transformative teachings through their legendary dialogue, exploring duty, purpose, divine purpose, and humanity's relationship with the eternal. Rather than offering simple answers, Krishna employs powerful analogies and philosophical insights to guide Arjuna—and readers—toward self-realization and inner peace.
This timeless work transcends religious boundaries, presenting universal truths about dharma (duty), karma, and the path to a meaningful life. Arnold's luminous translation captures the original text's profound beauty while making its complex philosophy accessible to modern audiences. The Gita's teachings address fundamental human questions about purpose, morality, and how to live with integrity amid life's greatest challenges.
Perfect for seekers of spiritual wisdom, philosophy enthusiasts, and anyone searching for guidance on living authentically, this audiobook delivers ancient insights with remarkable relevance to contemporary life.
