内容説明・目次
内容説明
The Bhagavad Gita is often thought of as the "bible" of India. It is unquestionably the most important sacred text of the Asian world, and it is the third most important among all scriptures of the world, after the Bible and the Qur'an. Each of the popular and readily available editions seem to be lacking in several areas, and the aim here is to offer an edition that will become the most sought after edition of the text because of its key features and benefits. It contains fresh translation in free verse form which has: a literal translation loyal to original; has an ease of reading and understanding; gender free pronouns; and a presentation of lines in quatrain form for ease of reading and poetic sense of the original.
Key features of this book include: detailed contents page providing the reader greater access to text; meaningful chapter titles that guide the reader; instructive subheadings within chapters meant to guide reader; annotations at foot of page to explain foreign ideas or concepts or a few preserved Sanskrit terms; a very short introduction called "Setting the Scene," allowing the reader to jump right into the text; a longer section after the translation of the text called "Understanding the Text"; and, phonetically spelt Sanskrit words and names, and only very limited use of diacritic marks utilized.
