Review: Classic! And this particular version is easy to digest Review: The Bhagavad Gita is the world's most translated scripture. The task for a Gita translator is to effectively take the poetic multilayer Sanskrit original and translate it into English preserving it's flavor allowing it to stand alone without commentary. Few have succeeded. I have read multiple editions of the Gita and,in my Sanskrit studies, read the original in Sanskrit. While I haven't read all the English translations, Mascaro's translation is the best I have read. It takes the reader to the heart of the Gita, to their own heart and to that of Lord Krishna with practical real instructions on how we should live to be aligned with God. It is a practical nitty gritty instruction manual on how we are to construct and conduct ourselves in our own "life battle". Gandhi read the Gita as his daily practice; it sustained him. I have found the same experience when I have picked up this volume during my own times of crisis. If one wants to plumb the depths of the Gita, then I would suggest getting Winthrop Sargent's Bhagavad Gita with the Sanskrit and Sanskrit translation. It is excellent, but a few of the translations are off, and it is dry compared to Mascaro. There are many commentaries and at present I don't have a favorite one to recommend. If one wants to explore both the flavor and the depth of the Gita, I would recommend undertaking Sanskrit studies with Vyaas Houston [...] . He gives weekend trainings to begin to learn Sanskrit as well as immersions into the Gita. I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. If you don't have the time or money, Mascaro's translation is a gold mine.

One of the best translations of the Gita with a preface that is a teaching in itself. Juan Mascaro is an amazing translator and worth pursuing his works. Dhammapada is his work on the words of the Buddha, with amazing Preface. Penguin Classics would do well to over this mans works in hardback editions. They once did a collection of there amazing library of works. But now they seem to have forgotten that they even did that. Not just these two but dozens of titles in beautiful small hardback editions.

Um dos livros básicos do hinduísmo e de todas as suas derivações, o Bhagavad Gita é também uma belíssima obra literária e um tratado de Filosofia Oriental. O livro faz parte de um relato mais amplo, o Mahabharata, que conta a história da guerra dos pandavas com os karauvas pelo trono. O arqueiro Arjuna, um pandava, olha os dois exércitos que estão prestes a se envolverem em uma sangrenta batalha (4 milhões de pessoas irão morrer) e reconhece mestres, parentes, amigos do lado de seus inimigos. Em desespero, está prestes a desistir da batalha, pois é um dever não matar seus parentes e mestres, mas, para ele que é um guerreiro, é também um dever lutar. Pede então a seu amigo, e condutor de seu carro, Krishna, que o ensine. Krishna ensina que todos os homens ali já estão mortos, e, ao mesmo tempo, que são imortais. Por isso, Arjuna deve fazer seu dever, mas, para alcançar a paz, deve fazê-lo com desapego, sem esperar qualquer resultado, sem esperar qualquer recompensa. Só esse tipo ação (dharma) tem valor, se ele quer serenar seu espírito, pois existem três disciplinas que podem produzir a paz: a disciplina do conhecimento e da luz (Jnana Yoga), a disciplina da devoção e do amor (Bhakti Yoga) e a disciplina da ação (Karma Yoga). Depois de ser ensinado, e de perceber que todo o universo está interconectado por causas produzidas por essa ação, Arjuna decide lutar. Apesar da Filosofia Oriental se expressar de um modo muito diferente da Ocidental, entremeada com conceitos religiosos, há conceitos puramente filosóficos, muito semelhantes ao Estoicismo e às filosofias de Platão e de Aristóteles. O capítulo 12 deu origem à letra da canção Gita, de Raul Seixas e Paulo Coelho.

インド思想というと、「リグ・ヴェーダ」や「ウパニシャッド」を思い出しますが、 いわゆるヒンヅー教にとっては、「ギーター」のほうが大きな影響力をもっていたと思われます。 ちょっと退屈な箇所もありますが、中世に成立したヒンヅー教の聖典として、読まれる値打ちはあるとおもいます。 言い換えると、「ギーター」の知識がないと、ヒンヅー教は理解できないと思いました。
