Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Gita and Gospel In the whole literature of the world there are few poems worthy of comparison, either in point of general interest, or of practical influence, with the Bhagavadgita. It is a philosophical work, yet fresh and readable as poetry; a book of devotion, yet drawing its main inspiration from speculative systems; a dramatic scene from the most fateful battle of early Indian story, yet breathing the leisure and the subtleties of the schools; founded on a metaphysical theory originally atheistic, yet teaching the most reverent adoration of the Lord of all: where shall we find a more fascinating study? Then its influence on educated India has been and still is without a rival. Everybody praises the Upanishads, but very few read them; here and there one finds a student who turns the pages of a Sutra or looks into Sankara or Ramanuja, but the most are content to believe without seeing. The Gita, on the other hand, is widely read and loved among the educated classes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
