'I have heard the supreme mystery, yoga, from Krishna, from the
lord of yoga himself.' Thus ends the Bhagavad Gita, the most famous
episode from the great Sanskrit epic, the Mahabharata. In its
eighteen short chapters Krishna's teaching leads the warrior Arjuna
from perplexity to understanding and correct action, in the process
raising and developing many key themes from the history of Indian
religions. The Bhagavad Gita is the best known and most widely read
Hindu religious text in the Western world. It considers social and
religious duty, the nature of sacrifice, the nature of action, the
means to liberation, and the relationship of human beings to God.
It culminates in an awe-inspiring vision of Krishna as God
omnipotent, disposer and destroyer of the universe. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for
further study, and much more.
