The Bhagavad Gita is often regarded as the Bible of India. With a gripping story and deeply compelling message, it is unquestionably one of the most popular sacred texts of Asia and, along with the Bible and the Qur'an, one of the most important holy scriptures in the world. Part of an ancient Hindu epic poem, the dialogue of the Bhagavad Gita takes place on a battlefield, where a war for the possession of a North Indian kingdom is about to ensue between two noble families related by blood. The epic's hero, young Prince Arjuna, is torn between his duty as a warrior and his revulsion at the thought of his brothers and cousins killing each other over control of the realm. Frozen by this ethical dilemma, he debates the big questions of life and death with the supreme Hindu deity Krishna, cleverly disguised as his charioteer. By the end of the story, Eastern beliefs about mortality and reincarnation, the vision and practice of yoga, the Indian social order and its responsibilities, family loyalty, spiritual knowledge, and the loftiest pursuits of the human heart are explored in depth. Explaining the very purpose of life and existence, this classic has stood the test of twenty-three centuries. It is presented here in a thoroughly accurate, illuminating, and beautiful translation that is sure to become the standard for our day.

评分虽然这一类的书不太流行,基本进不了什么排行榜,但作为中国人,还是有必要了解一下的。因为中国人受佛教影响至深,但大部分的人还是将佛教当成一种精神鸦片,而不能像任继愈所说的那样进的去出的来。 方法就是站得高远一些,客观地看待佛教,到它的老家去,调查一下它的前世今...
评分 评分这段时间,反复在读一本书,就是《薄伽梵歌》。这本书被喻为印度人的精神之源,历代印度哲人均从中汲取不同的精神养料。前不久,读了吕思勉先生的《经子题解》,再次梳理了一下自己对中国古代哲学思想的理解,于是就想了解一下同为东方古文明代表的印度文明的哲学思想,这本已...
