The Bhagavad Gita According to Gandhi (Rediscovered Books) : With linked Table of Contents EPUB
by Mohandas K. Gandhi
EPUB
Description
My first acquaintance with the Gita began in 1888-89 with the verse translation by Sir Edwin Arnold known as the Song Celestial.
On reading it, I felt a keen desire to read a Gujarati translation. And I read as many translations as I could lay hold of.
But all such reading can give me no passport for presenting my own translation.
Then again my knowledge of Sanskrit is limited, my knowledge of Gujarati too is in no way scholarly.
How could I then dare present the public with my translation?
It has been my endeavor, as also that of some companions, to reduce to practice the teaching of the Gita as I have understood it.
The Gita has become for us a spiritual reference book.
I am aware that we ever fail to act in perfect accord with the teaching.
The failure is not due to want of effort, but is in spite of it.
Even through the failures we seem to see rays of hope.
The accompanying rendering contains the meaning of the Gita message which this little band is trying to enforce in its daily conduct.--Mahatma Gandhi
