What is The Bhagavad Gītā about?
A new translation and introduction to the Gita, the most astounding spiritual document ever written. The Gita forms a small part—seven hundred stanzas—of the epic of the Mahabharata— two hundred thousand lines that are but a part of the Bhisma-Parvam. Contained in the Gita’s pages are the secrets of life. The story takes an historical event, a war, and uses this as a setting to illustrate basic human conflicts—understanding action and non-action, how to take part in society, how to understand your place in the universal scheme, as well as explaining the secrets of meditation. There are even complete instructions for understanding the dying process. It is a book to be read again and again, at various stages of life’s path, for once you truly comprehend the material presented, you are well on your way to understanding the meaning of life! Antonio de Nicolas has lived in Spain and in India, translated Juan R. Jimenez’s 'Platero and I', published Remembering the God to Come, a book of poetry, and is professor emeritus of philosophy at State University of New York at Stony Brook. He combines philosophy and poetry so we can hear the music and sound of the culture that spawned the Gita,
