The Bhagavadgîtâ

The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series, encompasses the seven non-Christian religions of Asia: Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam. Translated into English by authorities in their respective fields, these sacred texts have been edited by F. Max Muller and have profoundly influenced civilization. The Bhagavadgita (1882) translated by Kasinath Trimbak Telang, is volume VIII of The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume series available from Cosimo Classics. This volume focuses on Hinduism and contains a 700 verse scripture, part of the Mahabharata. Other portions of this epic, the Sanatsug tiya, and the Anugit are also included in this volume. This text is a valuable addition to the personal library of scholars and of those interested in Hinduism.
