Book Description

About the Book The Bhagavad Gita is one of the most famous texts in the history of scripture and literature, Part of the Mahabharata, which is ascribed to Ved Vyasa, the 700 verses of the Gita are thought to have been composed anywhere between the fifth and second century BCE, although there is no agreement on the actual dates of when they were composed. Taking the form of a dialogue between Arjuna, one of the five Pandavas, and Krishna, his charioteer, the Gita is one of the key texts of Hinduism. This edition allows the reader to directly experience the richness and resonance of the original. Winthrop Sargeant's interlinear version provides an English translation along with the Devanagari characters and the transliterated Sanskrit. Long a favourite of spiritual seekers and scholars, teachers and students, Sargeant's version of the Gita is a great resource for anyone with an interest in this classic.

'If you don't know Sanskrit but you still want to come to grips with the Gitā in its original language, then this is the version for you. Yoga Journal Winthrop Sargeant furnishes not only a masterly translation and concisely informative introduction...but also a transliteration of the original text. This makes it possible for the newcomer to perceive and enjoy the sound of the original...'-New Yorker

Preface Why add one more to the numerous English translations of the Bhagavad Gitä? It is said to have already been translated at least two hundred times, in both poetic and prose forms. My excuse is that, though many fine translations exist, none that I know of presents the original Sanskrit version along with a transliteration and a readable English translation. This permits the reader to learn the sound as well as the meaning of the text. It should also enable the studious reader to savour something of the original language, which is elegant and extremely concise. The line of transliteration is designed to show the reader how the words are pronounced. The reader should note that diacritical marks have only been used for Sanskrit words in these preliminary essays and in the transliteration. In making the readable translation that appears at the bottom of each verse, my object has been to stick as closely as possible to literal meaning rather than to attempt a masterpiece of English prose. Such grand poetic concepts as appear in the translation are inherent in the poem. I have added nothing, and what I have striven for is simple clarity along with a reproduction of something of the force and economy of the original.
