Description

The Song of Myself, whose title takes its cue from Walt Whitman's celebration of the self, Song of Myself, is a modern, free-flowing verse rendition of the classic Sanskrit text, The Bhagavad Gita. It provides a fresh reading of a much translated work that has become overlaid with both Eastern and Western ideas of spirituality which have obscured, and sometimes distorted, the central teaching: to know what the self is, what action is and what non-action is. In this new translation the author has sought to make those ideas clear through a readable verse translation that does not sacrifice literal accuracy, and with notes and commentary that will help the reader separate the complementary strands of this important syncretic work that has contributed to our understanding of the self and its delusions.
