Paperback. Zustand: New. Taking a rationalist, skeptical approach, a journalist and humanist advocatecritiques the famous BhagavadGita on many levels. Among other things, he points out the improbability of the historical events recounted, the logical inconsistencies in the work, and, above all, the retrograde moral perspective represented by the characters. He emphasizes that the long dialogue between the warrior Arjuna and Lord Krishna (an incarnation of the god Vishnu) ends up by condoning violence, even wholesale slaughter.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This is an intelligent critical examination of "The Bhagavad Gita", one of the most famous Hindu sacred texts. "The Bhagavad Gita" is one of the most famous works of Hindu scripture, ranking in importance alongside the Vedas and the Upanishads as a key sacred text.

Taking a rationalist, sceptical approach, Narla critiques "The Gita" on many levels, pointing out the improbability of the historical events recounted, the logical inconsistencies in the work, and, above all, the retrograde moral perspective represented by the characters.
