The Gita imagined a relationship in which the soul and God are equals\"; it is, he believes, \"the greatest poem of friendship . . . in any language.\" His verse translation captures the many tones and strategies Krishna uses with Arjuna--strict and berating, detached and philosophical, tender and personable. \"Listening guides\" to each section follow the main text, and expand in accessible terms on the text and what is happening between the lines. \u003ci\u003eGodsong\u003c\/i\u003e is an instant classic in the field, from a poet of skill, fine intellect, and--perhaps most important--devotion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amit Majmudar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0525435298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525435297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Amit Majmudar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043402674431,"sku":"9780525435297","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0b837e5-c621-495d-ad2c-9534d79938a6.jpg?v=1684966940","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/godsong-amit-majmudar-9780525435297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
