Bhagavad Gita. Translation by Boris Grebenshchikov

The new edition features a convenient soft cover and high-quality white offset paper. The "Bhagavad Gita" ("Song of God") is one of the most revered sacred texts in world history, alongside the Bible and the Quran, a fragment of the ancient Indian epic "Mahabharata". On the brink of a fratricidal battle, the great warrior Arjuna, tormented by doubts and unwilling to fight against his relatives, friends, and teachers, turns to his charioteer and friend Krishna for advice. In their conversation, they address eternal themes of duty, good and evil, the meaning of life, and discuss various systems of Indian philosophy and yoga practices. The wisdom of the "Bhagavad Gita" has inspired Tolstoy, Goethe, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Beethoven, Gandhi, and many others, while the questions raised in the book are more relevant today than ever. The translation is done by Boris Grebenshchikov - a poet, musician, composer, and performer.
