The Baghavad Gita is the world's most famous poem. Set in the middle of the battlefield in the midst of civil war, the warrior prince Arjuna breaks down before his friend, confidant, and charioteer Krishna; though Krishna may be more than just his charioteer. This ancient and brief poem is the symbolic embodiment of the civil war within our hearts, a profound daily guide for everyone from Ghandi to Emerson. This version is entirely in English, contains no commentary, and removes the 70+ nicknames between the two friends for hyper-simplicity of reading for anyone discovering and reading the Gita for the very first time.
"In the early morning, I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial." - Henry David Thoreau
