Song Celestial; Or, Bhagavad-Gîtâ

by Anonymous

Sir Edwin Arnold's 'Song Celestial' is a poetic retelling of the Bhagavad Gita, a revered Hindu scripture. The work is known for its faithfulness to the original Sanskrit text while maintaining a poetic flow. Arnold's use of blank verse and lyrical measures allows for a dynamic and engaging reading experience, capturing the essence of the Gita's philosophical discussions on duty, devotion, and the nature of reality. Notably, Mahatma Gandhi praised the work, finding solace and guidance in its teachings during challenging times. This unique adaptation offers a compelling and accessible approach to exploring the profound insights of the Bhagavad Gita.
