具體描述
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]

讀後感
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...
評分《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...
