The Bhagavad-Gita in 18 Sonnets (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The Bhagavad-Gita has been described as "Perhaps the most beautiful work of the literature of the world." It is, without doubt, one of the best known and most loved sources of India's timeless wisdom. This new rendering in a sequence of 18 Shakespearean Sonnets is an attempt to capture the spirit and essence of some of the Gita's key teachings and ideas in a form that is - like the original - both poetic and lyrical. "...really accomplished..." "Beautiful...Brilliant..." "...such difficult concepts captured so clearly...I feel uplifted having read them."

Autor

Jonti Marks was born in London and grew up partly in England and partly in Kenya. He was a school teacher for 27 years and worked in Zambia, Kenya and the UK as an English and Drama teacher and also as a Head. He left teaching in 2013 to devote himself to his writing full-time.
Jonti became a Freemason in Nairobi in 1990 and has always been interested in the deeper, spiritual significance of the Craft. His Masonic writings aim to illuminate these hidden depths and to help make Freemasonry relevant, useful and inspiring for Masons and non-Masons alike.
Jonti's non-Masonic writings are largely informed either by his experiences as a teacher or by his life in Kenya - and often by his life as a teacher in Kenya!
Jonti's book,' Teaching from the Heart:100 Meditations for Teachers' follows the format of the Masonic books and offers 100 inspirational messages for teachers, parents, policy makers and educationalists in every sphere who do so much to determine the well-being of our society and the future of the planet. It was written as a parting gift to the profession and is the distillation of a 30-year philosophy of education that appears increasingly important and even urgent in today's moral climate.
'The Bhagavad-Gita in 18 Sonnets' also reflects a lifetime's interest and a deep connection with the spiritual teachings of India. Jonti has been familiar with the Gita for all of his life and was moved to try to capture some of the essence and spirit of this sacred text in a wholly poetic form.
