Specificatii
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.
