About this book
Creators: Sir Edwin Arnold (1832-1904) [Translator] "The Song Celestial; Or, Bhagavad-Gîtâ (from the Mahâbhârata)" by Sir Edwin Arnold is a poetic translation published in 1885. This English rendering of the ancient Sanskrit text presents a dialogue between Krishna, an incarnation of the Divine, and Prince Arjuna. Krishna instructs Arjuna on duty and liberation through right action as they face an eternal battle between right and wrong, wisdom and ignorance. This translation profoundly influenced Mahatma Gandhi, who called it the best English version he encountered. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
