Bhagavad-gita: A Photographic Essay: A visual guide to the world's greatest spiritual dialog - Brossura

* Independent Publisher Book Award Winner * A fully illustrated summary of the world's bestselling Bhagavad-gita. There have been literally hundreds of translations of the Bhagavad-gita published in English alone, which is evidence that the voices from ancient India still speak to us in modern times. Bhagavad-gita: A Photographic Essay is an artistic presentation of the key philosophical ideas of the Bhagavad-gita's eighteen chapters. The author, with the aid of 124 powerful photographic illustrations, eloquently presents the Gita's transcendent vision. The Gita itself boldly declares, "In this world there is nothing so sublime and pure as transcendental knowledge." And in Bhagavad-gita: A Photographic Essay, the resonance and potency of the original Sanskrit verses remain intact as they call upon each of us to apply their wisdom in our everyday lives."The ancient, yet universally relevant message of the Gita is extended to us in the modern world through Visakha's clearly articulated understanding along with her powerful photographic expression of its message." -- Graham M. Schweig, Ph.D., Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley"In this publication, we have an extraordinary opportunity to comprehend the Gita as it has been historically understood within its own sacred tradition." -- Howard J. Resnick, Ph.D., Harvard University"By blending an easy-to-read and highly accessible synopsis of the text with relevant and usefully placed photographs, Visakha has highlighted the essential philosophical points and made them relevant to the modern context." -- Edwin Bryant, Ph.D., Rutgers University
