Transcreation of the Bhagavad Gita

by Ashok Kumar Malhotra

For courses in Indian or Asian Philosophy or Religions, Asian Studies, Non-Western Civilizations, Survey of World Religions, Great Texts of Humankind, and Philosophical Ideas in Literature. Unlike all other English translations of the Bhagavad Gita ― which are either too literal and abstract, or written in very formal, incomprehensible English, or are philosophically one-sided ― this student-friendly “transcreation” offers an unbiased philosophical perspective and presents the main religious and philosophical themes of the Bhagavad Gita in simple/ordinary language easily accessible to today's students. It enables them to read this great work as if it were originally written in their own language ― and to capture the excitement of discovering its relevance to their own lives.

Deep, deep, deep. I took a long time reading this book. I'd read it part way, then begin again. I read it half way, and then started from the beginning again. Always re-reading what I've read, over and over again. I have found many nuggets of food for thought throughout. Its deep spiritual meaning switched on lights within my soul much like the words of Jesus. I enjoyed the journey. Not light reading, very heavy, but if one is interested in spirituality this will benefit.
