NEW RELEASES ONLINE CATALOGS MORE TITLES IN HINDUISM The Bhagavata Purana Selected Readings Ravi M. Gupta and Kenneth R. Valpey "Nowadays the Bhagavad Gita is regarded as the central text of Hinduism, but for centuries that honor belonged more to the Bhagavata Purana, where Krishna also reigns. Thanks to Gupta and Valpey, today we have a chance to encounter the Bhagavata anew-fresh translations, an absorbing introduction, and a judicious, imaginative selection of passages that reveal the heart and sinews of this monumentally beautiful work." -Jack Hawley, Barnard College This annotated translation and detailed analysis shows how this text has had such enduring appeal. Key selections from the Bhagavata Purana are faithfully translated, while all remaining sections are concisely summarized, providing the reader with a continuous and comprehensive narrative. Detailed endnotes explain unfamiliar concepts and several essays elucidate the rich philosophical and religious debates found in the Sanskrit commentaries. Together with the companion volume The Bhagavata Purana: Sacred Text and Living Tradition (Columbia, 2013), this book makes a central Hindu masterpiece more accessible to English-speaking audiences and more meaningful to scholars of Hindu literature, philosophy, and religion.  Read more $35.00 $24.50 / Paperback / 328 pages / £26.00*    SAVE 30% WITH COUPON CODE "EMAIL" *Customers in UK, Europe, and Middle East please contact customer@wiley.com   STAY CONNECTED
