This volume stems from the understanding that historiographical analyses of the Gita's reception overlook the element of its translation. It begins with this recognition and posits translation as fundamental to any understanding of the Gita's reception. It examines in depth and compares how translations of the Gita do not seek the same aims in all places and at all times and recognizes that translation theories and methodologies are not uniform across nations and eras. Therefore, this volume looks at insolites (unusual, strange) readings of the Gita and how they seek to fill the hermeneutical gap between readings tied to its canonical and scriptural status and those that are distant from the text's tradition.

The Bhagavad Gita and other major scriptures provide insight into the afterlife. For those who have lost loved ones, the idea that there is more to life than what we experience on Earth can be a source of comfort. It offers the hope that someday, we may be reunited with the people we have lost. Understanding what awaits us in the afterlife can also provide a deeper appreciation for the role that religion plays in our lives and in shaping our world, as well as the assurance that our lives have meaning and purpose.

This book is written after the author reading the original Bhagavad Gita. Apart from the usage of certain examples that relate Gita to the current era and some interpretations regarding those examples, nothing new is added from outside. The motive behind this writing venture is to present Bhagavad Gita to a reader who is not well aquatinted with religious books or spirituality. Gita is retold here with utmost care given to preserve its original flow and simplicity. Extreme vigilance is shown in keeping away heavy spiritual words like individual consciousness, universal consciousness, transcendental opulence etc. The Summary of Bhagavad Gita is intended to be read in one sitting. It contains less than eighteen thousand words only. The book may entertain you or it may bore you. But it will never confuse you.

The life and times of India's most famous spiritual and literary masterpiece The Bhagavad Gita, perhaps the most famous of all Indian scriptures, is universally regarded as one of the world's spiritual and literary masterpieces. Richard Davis tells the story of this venerable and enduring book, from its origins in ancient India to its reception today as a spiritual classic that has been translated into more than seventy-five languages. The Gita opens on the eve of a mighty battle, when the warrior Arjuna is overwhelmed by despair and refuses to fight. He turns to his charioteer, Krishna, who counsels him on why he must. In the dialogue that follows, Arjuna comes to realize that the true battle is for his own soul. Davis highlights the place of this legendary dialogue in classical Indian culture, and then examines how it has lived on in diverse settings and contexts. He looks at the medieval devotional traditions surrounding the divine character of Krishna and traces how the Gita traveled from India to the West, where it found admirers in such figures as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Aldous Huxley. Davis explores how Indian nationalists like Mahatma Gandhi and Swami Vivekananda used the Gita in their fight against colonial rule, and how contemporary interpreters reanimate and perform this classical work for audiences today. An essential biography of a timeless masterpiece, this book is an ideal introduction to the Gita and its insights into the struggle for self-mastery that we all must wage.

Like old coins which do not circulate in new times, even the ancient words of the Bhagavad Gita need the imprint of modern times to reveal the ways their wisdom can help us in our everyday lives of today and tomorrow. In this wide-ranging work, Mr. Majumbar relates the impressions of famous visionaries of our time to the practical wisdom and ageless mystery of this most widely revered spiritual text of India. He positions the thoughts of scientists, philosophers, poets, rulers, historians, saints, and even a few sinners against the timeless teachings of the Gita. The ways of the wise, ancient and modern, become accessible to us, making this new translation and commentary a practical spiritual guide for our adventure from today into the 21st century, A Scripture for the Future.
