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]

评分阿周那陷入道德的两难，他问出了仁义的问题，如果宣扬仁义，但是又违背仁义，这怎么可以，他困在逻辑中无法解脱，衰弱无力，无法战斗。薄伽梵劝说的方式是，你就这样干吧，反正人终有一死，你不杀死他们他们也会死，况且人的本质并不是靠消灭肉身就能伤害的。薄伽梵说了很多，...
评分而梵澄为何首译《薄伽梵歌》？盖因其地位犹如基督教之新、旧约《圣经》和伊斯兰教之《古兰经》，实乃其民族之大经大法也。他说：“间尝闻其当代领袖，竟以此一歌而发扬独立运动，士以此蹈白刃，赴汤火，受鞭朴，甘荼毒而不辞，卒以获其国之自由。”（同上）“圣雄”甘地将《薄...
