About This Book

The author surveys the Bhagavad Gita alongside key Western texts and thinkers, comparing their philosophical and devotional teachings. Beginning with an account of the Gita's place in Vedic and Upanishadic development, the work contrasts ideas of ritual, knowledge, and the world-soul with Western notions of justice and the servant of God. Subsequent chapters read classical and Christian sources, including Plato, Virgil, and the life and message of Jesus, to trace ethical affinities and divergences, and an appendix outlines later Krishna-centered literature. The tone is comparative, aiming to highlight shared motifs and distinctive metaphysical and moral emphases.
