Description
The Bhagavad-Gita is one of the most revered philosophical and spiritual texts in Hindu tradition. This English translation by J. Cockburn Thomson presents the profound dialogue between Lord Krishna and the warrior prince Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where Arjuna faces a moral dilemma about fighting his own relatives.
Through this sacred conversation, Krishna imparts divine wisdom on a wide range of topics including the nature of duty (dharma), the path to spiritual enlightenment, the concept of karma and reincarnation, and the different yogas—paths of devotion, knowledge, and action. The text addresses fundamental questions about life, death, responsibility, and one’s place in the cosmic order.
This translation makes the Sanskrit philosophical poem accessible to English readers, offering insights into Hindu metaphysics and practical guidance for living a spiritually meaningful life. The work remains influential for both religious practitioners and those interested in Eastern philosophy and spirituality.
