- Book Synopsis
- A great battle is about to break out between two warring sets of cousins. The Pandava prince Arjuna, a mighty warrior, surveys the battlefield. Suddenly he finds himself gazing on the faces of the friends and family that he must now fight. Deeply conflicted Arjuna casts down his weapons and calls on the council of his charioteer Krishna. So begins the Bhagavad Gita... The Bhagavad Gita is the foundational text of the Hindu faith and one of the most widely read religious works in the world. Mahatma Gandhi famously described it as his spiritual dictionary. It holds a universal appeal which sweeps away boundaries of all types, be they spiritual or secular, temporal or spatial. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Arcturus Classics series brings together high-quality paperback editions of classics works, presented with contemporary graphic cover designs. Together they make a wonderful collection which is perfect for any home library.

- Vyasa was an ancient Indian sage who wrote many of the key texts of Hinduism, including the Vedas, the Mahabharata and the Puranas. Sir Edwin Arnold (10 June 1832 - 24 March 1904) was an English poet and journalist, educated at King's College London and University College, Oxford. His most famous work was the classic narrative poem The Light of Asia, an exploration of Buddhist philosophy, which earned him widespread acclaim. His journalistic career, which spanned more than 40 years, culminated in his serving as editor-in-chief of The Daily Telegraph. During his lifetime, he was also honoured with decorations by the rulers of Japan, Persia, Turkey and Siam.
