THE BHAGAVAD GITA

​

translated by Juan Mascaro

The eighteen chapters of The Bhagavad Gita, the glory of Sanskrit literature, encompass the whole spiritual struggle of a human soul. Its three central themes – love, light, and life – arise from the symphonic vision of God in all things and of all things in God.

THE DHAMMAPADA

The Path of Perfection

translated by Juan Mascaro

One of the best-known and best-loved works of Buddhist literature, the Dhammapada forms part of the oldest surviving body of Buddhist writings, and is traditionally regarded as the authentic teachings of the Buddha himself, spoken by him in his lifetime, and memorized and handed on by his followers after his death.

THE UPANISHADS

​

translated by Juan Mascaro

The Upanishads, the earliest of which were composed in Sanskrit between 800 and 400 bce by sages and poets, form part of the Vedas – the sacred and ancient scriptures that are the basis of the Hindu religion.
