Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,414
On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the fluky victor in a tight race for president. The country was bitterly at odds; Southern extremists were moving ever closer to destroying the Union, with one state after another seceding and Lincoln powerless to stop them. Slavery fueled the conflict, but somehow the passions of North and South came to focus on a lonely federal fortress in Charleston Harbor: Fort Sumter.

I have tried to get through several translations of The Bhagavad Gita, and this is the first that I was able to understand enough to pose questions in my mind, and to contemplate the greater meaning. The language of the others I have attempted to read was just out of my reach. Highly recommend this version for western ears 😊
