The Lord-Song: Shrîmad Bhagavadgîtâ Upanishad

By Ignacio L Götz

The first part of The Lord-Song is a prose translation of the Bhagavadgȋtȃ, the Indian religious classic, from Sanskrit into English.It includes essays describing the context, the philosophy, and additional notes on several subjects pertaining to the Hindu poem.The second part of the book is a development of a recommendation of the Bhagavadgȋtȃ, the pursuit of a coincidence of opposites, or the search for unity.The third part contains a development of author Ignacio L. G tz's ideas leading up to the publication of this book. He says, "For many years, as a university teacher, I taught a course on Indian philosophy and religion. More than thirty years ago, I delivered a public lecture on the Bhagavadgȋtȃ, and I spent almost a year translating the text so I could give a copy to the audience. This now forms the core of the present work."
