Beschreibung
Mohandas K. Gandhi's interpretation of the Bhagavad Gita, presented through discourses that treat the text as a guide to ethical and spiritual discipline. Delivered during the final decade of his life, these reflections approach the Gita not as a historical or theological document alone, but as a sustained meditation on action, detachment, and the governance of the self.
Gandhi reads the dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna as an allegory of the inner life, in which the battlefield represents the field of human consciousness and moral struggle. Central themes include non-attachment, selfless action (karma yoga), and the disciplined pursuit of truth (satya), all articulated in a measured and deliberate prose that reflects his broader philosophical commitments.
Translated by Mahadev Desai, Gandhi's close associate and secretary, this text preserves the cadence and clarity of the original discourses while offering a stable English rendering. This edition follows the established text and presents it in a clear format for sustained reading.

Über den Autor
Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (1869-1948) was a political leader and thinker whose work in nonviolent resistance shaped twentieth-century history. His writings extend beyond politics into ethical and spiritual reflection, with particular attention to the interpretation of Hindu texts such as the Bhagavad Gita, which he regarded as a central guide to disciplined action and moral responsibility.
