Bhagavad Gita: The Eternal Song Goes On Vijaya Acharya

At a pivotal point in the history of our globe, humanity's destiny hangs in the balance. The sun of Treta Yuga (the third season of life on Earth) is setting on the centuries-old Rig Veda Sarasvati civilisation, which is nearing civil war. On the battlefield of Kurukshetra in North India, the royal households, noble warriors and skilled militants of ancient India have formed allegiance with two opposing forces - the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Arjuna, a prince of the Royal House of Pandu, is driven out on his chariot to the centre of the battlefield by Lord Krishna, who has assumed the role of Arjuna's chariot driver. Faced with all-out, bloody war, Arjuna is beset with doubt and mental affliction, and is paralysed by inaction. Here, in conversation with Arjuna, Lord Krishna delivers the Bhagavad Gita - the eternal song of sublime truth, relevant in all times and places and to all people. It is in service to this sublime truth that Vijaya Acharya offers a distinguished and uniquely modern translation for a new millennium. The eternal song goes on.
