Description

The Bhagavad Gita, an ancient and celebrated wisdom book, explains yoga as a spiritual path universally accessible to anyone. Each of the Gita's eighteen chapters explores a different form of yoga—from action to meditation, from mind yoga to heart yoga. Dr. Sutton's new translation, clear commentary and study guide is especially valuable to yoga and academic teachers and students, and will be welcomed to Yoga Teacher Training courses and University World Religion and Hindu Studies courses. The Bhagavad Gita, which was spoken perhaps five millennia ago and whose written form has been extant for over 2,000 years, has inspired new generations of seekers East and West for centuries, including Emerson and Thoreau, Gandhi and Einstein. The Gita and Yoga Sutras comprise the two primary foundational books on the yoga path, aspects of which have become wildly popular in the West in recent decades.

Author's Bio

Nicholas Sutton is the Director of the Continuing Education Department of the Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies, an academy for the study of Hindu cultures, societies, philosophies, religions, and languages. He received his PhD from Lancaster University, writing his doctoral dissertation on the Mahabharata, and currently develops and tutors online courses on Hindu religious traditions. His publications include The Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation and Study Guide (Mandala Publishing, 2019) and Religious Doctrines in the Mahabharata (Motilal Banarsidass Publishers, 2000).

The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies is an academy for the study of Hindu cultures, societies, philosophies, religions, and languages. The Oxford Centre for Hindu Studies Mandala Publishing Series offers authoritative yet accessible introductions to a wide range of subjects in Hindu Studies. Each book in the series aims to present its subject matter in a form that is engaging and readily comprehensible to persons of all backgrounds – academic or otherwise – without compromising scholarly rigour. The series thus bridges the divide between academic and popular writing by preserving and utilising the best elements of both.

General Editor: Lucian Wong
Editorial Board: John Brockington, Avni Chag, James Madaio, and Valters Negribs
