- Book 1 of 9: The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies Mandala Publishing
In a lucid, chapter-by-chapter analysis, Hindu Studies scholar Nicholas Sutton sets out a guide to the philosophy, religious context, and contemporary significance of the Bhagavad Gita. An authoritative yet accessible introduction to this sacred classic, Sutton’s book will be of interest to all students of the Gita, both new and experienced.
Forming a climactic moment in the ancient Indian epic the Mahabharata, the Bhagavad Gita is one of the most celebrated texts in the Hindu world. Assuming the form of a dialogue between the princely warrior Arjuna and his divine charioteer Krsna spoken on the brink of a great war, the Gita addresses many themes that are central to Hinduism, including action in the world, spiritual knowledge, devotion, liberation, and the nature of God.
Nicholas Sutton’s The Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation and Study Guide presents the principal ideas pursued in the teachings of this classic Hindu scripture. With scholarly rigour, yet always accessible and sensitive to the lived tradition, the book unpacks the meaning of key Sanskrit terms and makes ample use of three influential traditional commentaries on the Gita, namely those of Samkaracarya, Ramanujacarya, and Madhvacarya. It also reflects on the contemporary significance of the Gita’s teachings and how they can be of relevance to the modern world. Sutton’s book will be of interest to all students of the Bhagavad Gita.
