Bhagavad Gita and the Light of Asia: Most Accessible Translations of Two Spiritual Classics
The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most popular spiritual classics
that has influenced human thought and actions. Taking place on
a battlefield, it is the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna about
the purpose of life and existence in the midst of the epic poem
Mahabharata. It expounds on these topics and all of Indian
philosophy during the course of seven hundred verses. The
deepest spiritual knowledge is communicated in a practical
pathway towards realizing our highest potential.
Edwin Arnold’s translation is arguably the most beautiful and
compelling out of the hundreds of translations of this classic.
The Light of Asia is the story of one of the most influential
humans to walk the earth - Prince Siddhartha, called the Buddha
or the Enlightened One. In this translation, the English language
has taken flight towards the Light that removes darkness and
ignorance.
Sir Edwin Arnold (1832-1904) was a poet and journalist. He was
a pioneer in the translation of Indian and Asian spiritual texts.
