GEORGE THOMPSON, a Vedic scholar and Sanskritist, has more than twenty years of experience teaching the Bhagavad Gita at college level. He is an assistant professor at Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, Massachusetts.
The Bhagavad Gita, a small section of the massive Sanskrit epic the Mahabharata, is one of the central texts of Indian culture and philosophy, and one of the great works of world literature. It has been translated into English many times since 1785, and has had a profound influence in America, beginning with the transcendentalists and continuing today. It is taught in introductory world literature, religion, and Eastern religion courses, and is often prescribed in yoga teacher training courses because it explains the core principles of Vedic philosophy, which are central to yoga practice.
Some of the currently available translations are in verse and, while well crafted, often do not accurately reflect the forms, sounds, and rhythms of the original. Older scholarly translations convey little feel for language. George Thompson's intention is to be as accurate and engaging as possible, and to create a translation that has scholarly bona fides, literary sensibility, and greater accuracy than previous translations. He emphasizes the social, historical, literary, and philosophical contexts surrounding the text. His introduction explains the development of Hindu thought and where the philosophy of the "Gita" fits historically, along with a history of the text and its place in Indian literature and philosophy and history.[Macmillan]

评分震撼人的心灵的《薄伽梵歌》 我通常选择晚上读,这个时候能让我更加体会到婆耶娑的智慧。 想研究学习佛法的也可以从这部瑜伽经典开始。实在是不容错过的好书啊。
评分 评分而梵澄为何首译《薄伽梵歌》?盖因其地位犹如基督教之新、旧约《圣经》和伊斯兰教之《古兰经》,实乃其民族之大经大法也。他说:“间尝闻其当代领袖,竟以此一歌而发扬独立运动,士以此蹈白刃,赴汤火,受鞭朴,甘荼毒而不辞,卒以获其国之自由。”(同上)“圣雄”甘地将《薄...
