Manisha Wilmette Brown — The Uddhava Gita

Frances Lincoln. 2000; hardcover met stofomslag; goed exemplaar / good copy. An English translation of the companion to the Hindu scripture, The Bhagavad Gita. Written in the later-9th or early-10th century AD, it contains the last message of the Krishna on the importance of devotion and action according to what is right. Though the underlying message is the same as The Bhagavad Gita, the approach of the two texts is different. While The Bhagavad Gita is an urgent message delivered on the battlefield, the tone of Krishna's farewell to his friend Uddhava is gentle and more accessible.
