具体描述
The Bhagavad Gita, a small section of the massive Sanskrit epic the Mahabharata, is one of the central texts of Indian culture and philosophy, and one of the great works of world literature. It has been translated into English many times since 1785, and has had a profound influence in America, beginning with the transcendentalists and continuing today. It is taught in introductory world literature, religion, and Eastern religion courses, and is often prescribed in yoga teacher training courses because it explains the core principles of Vedic philosophy, which are central to yoga practice.
Some of the currently available translations are in verse and, while well crafted, often do not accurately reflect the forms, sounds, and rhythms of the original. Older scholarly translations convey little feel for language. George Thompson's intention is to be as accurate and engaging as possible, and to create a translation that has scholarly bona fides, literary sensibility, and greater accuracy than previous translations. He emphasizes the social, historical, literary, and philosophical contexts surrounding the text. His introduction explains the development of Hindu thought and where the philosophy of the "Gita" fits historically, along with a history of the text and its place in Indian literature and philosophy and history.[Macmillan]

评分《薄伽梵歌》被誉为印度的圣经，我没想过自己会读这样的宗教典籍，毕竟大学时代，光是一本《圣经》读了4年也兴趣不大。 本质上来说，我是一个十分反宗教的科学崇拜者（虽然理科很糟糕），有一阵子我看见欧洲城市里一座座富丽堂皇的教堂会感到肠胃不适，我曾不喜欢它如此人为的...
评分年初地铁上读完的小书，印度史诗《摩诃婆罗多》中的一段著名哲理诗。歌言体的形式颇类《道德经》，但《薄伽梵歌》更强调行动本身：“你永远无所执着，做应该做的事，无所执着地做事，这样人达到至福。” 不计得失，不问成败，只因为这样做是对的，只因为这是我应该做的。人的主...
评分震撼人的心灵的《薄伽梵歌》 我通常选择晚上读，这个时候能让我更加体会到婆耶娑的智慧。 想研究学习佛法的也可以从这部瑜伽经典开始。实在是不容错过的好书啊。
