Books like The Bhagavad-Gita by Barbara S. Miller


The Gita opens, dramatically, on a battlefield, as the warrior Arjuna turns in anguish to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental questions of life. Yet the Gita is not what it seems – it’s not a dialogue between two mythical figures at the dawn of Indian history. “The battlefield is a perfect backdrop, but the Gita’s subject is the war within, the struggle for self-mastery that every human being must wage if he or she is to emerge from life victorious.”

Mahabharata by 8708656|Kamala Chandrakant book cover

📘 Mahabharata
 by Kamala Chandrakant

Learn the basic themes of Hindu culture and religion through this visually-compelling format of one of the two major epic tales from ancient India. The core story is of a dynastic struggle between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, two branches of the Kuru clan, for the throne of the kingdom of Hastinapura. Due to Kaurava plotting and a costly game of dice, the Pandavas are exiled for thirteen years. The struggle culminates in the great battle of Kurukshetra, in which the Pandavas are ultimately victorious. The epic ends with the death of Krishna, which also marks the beginning of the Hindu age of Kali (Kali Yuga), in which great values and noble ideas have crumbled, and man is heading toward the complete dissolution of right action, morality and virtue.
