The Bhagavad Gita: The Songs Of The Master is a book by Charles Johnston that presents a translation and interpretation of the ancient Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita. The Bhagavad Gita is a dialogue between the warrior prince Arjuna and Lord Krishna, who is believed to be an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu. The conversation takes place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, where Arjuna is faced with the dilemma of fighting his own kin. Lord Krishna imparts wisdom to Arjuna, teaching him about the nature of the self, the universe, and the ultimate reality. Johnston’s translation of the Bhagavad Gita is presented in poetic form, with each verse carefully crafted to convey the original Sanskrit text. The book also includes an introduction that provides background information on the Bhagavad Gita, as well as an analysis of its philosophical and spiritual teachings. Johnston’s interpretation of the text emphasizes the importance of self-knowledge, devotion, and action in the pursuit of spiritual liberation. Overall, The Bhagavad Gita: The Songs Of The Master is a comprehensive and accessible guide to one of the most revered texts in Hinduism. It offers readers a deeper understanding of the Bhagavad Gita’s teachings and their relevance to contemporary life.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
