This book is about three potent sources of modern Indian identity- viz. the Urdu poetry of Mirza Ghalib, the politics of Mahatma Gandhi and the philosophy of the Bhagvad Gita. What they have in common is 'meta-metaphoricity'- they take a metaphor for reality and construct another metaphor, itself to be taken as even more real, on that basis. Normally, this is a recipe for bad poetry, bad politics and bad religion. However, if Ghalib's poetry is read in the light of Ibn Arabi's concept of 'barzakh', or if the Gita is read in the light of Game Theory, then 'meta-metaphoricity' comes into its own. On the other hand, the reckless application of tendentious Western hermeneutics to Ghalib, Gandhi & the Gita creates a sort of slapstick comedy such that great savants end up making incredibly foolish and grotesque claims. Translations and commentaries on Ghalib, by stubbornly refusing to engage with his Islamic side, turn his lovely lyrics into something harsh, dissonant and bizarre. Similarly, Economists, like Nobel Laureate, Amartya Sen- who are thoroughly familiar with Game Theory- completely fail to understand its place in the Mahabharata. Thus, they end up saying very foolish things about the Gita. The case of Mahatma Gandhi is quite different. His 'meta-metaphoricity' was indeed a recipe for disaster because it turned its back on reality. Here, distinguished Professors make the mistake of ignoring the historical record to spin fantasies about Gandhi's true motivation- so as to gain currency for their own philosophical ideas. This book, 'Gandhi, Ghalib & the Gita', features original translations and commentaries on some of Ghalib's best loved Ghazals. While paying tribute to the sterling contribution of Prof. Shamsur Rehman Faruqi and Prof. Frances Pritchett, it takes issue with their methodological Secularism which scrupulously omits references to Islamic Scripture and the great Muslim Scholar-Saints who endowed the ghazal with a great Spiritual and Moral purpose. This approach is the opposite of the Indian tradition of promoting brotherly feeling between members of different creeds by appealing directly to the heart's univocity, rather than the head's delight in cerebral 'distinctions without a difference'. The Mahabharata is a text which displays a highly symmetric structure such that every episode and character has a 'dual'. To treat the Gita as a stand-alone text, especially if you ignore its Occasionalist metaphysics, is either to endorse a 'casteist' hierarchy or to equate Hinduism with the evils of caste based discrimination. If this were the 'natural' or 'canonical' way to read the Gita then, by all means, let the book be banned. However, such is not case. The Gita is a highly dramatic work and every utterance within it contains a sort of ironic pathos. Rather than representing God as a sort of puppet-master, it displays the Passion of God for His Creatures in an awe-inspiring and cathartic manner. The Mahabharata is the only ancient Epic which shows that the Just King must learn Game theory to properly discharge his duty. Yet, famous economists of Indian, that too Hindu, origin say very foolish things about the Gita. Truly- 'the blind spot of the savants constitutes the darkness of the age'. Turning to Mahatma Gandhi, and the 'Gandhian' Anna Hazare, is their success in politics attributable to purity of principle or to a corrupt sort of 'interessement mechanism'- i.e. the peddling of a nostrum by means of relentless self-publicity? The answer to this question may not be pleasant to hear, but the question must be posed.

Gandhi used his time in prison corresponding with followers. One asked about the ethical questions in the Bhagavad Gita, and Gandhi replied to this, and to other questions. Finally, he put together his comments and analysis of the lessons that Krishna was sharing with Arjuna in a little book, his most concise expression of this Hindu holy book as he understood it. After his autobiography, this may be the closest record of Gandhi's spiritual understanding. A sample chapter is available at www.bandannabooks.com/free/gandhisample.zip. For a different view on the Indian subcontinent, you might like Ghazals of Ghalib, a 19th-century poet who wrote in Persian and Urdu. His ghazals are witty, self-revealing, thoughtful. He lived through the Sepoy Mutiny and the British Raj, asking Queen Victoria to support poetry as the rajahs had done, by direct donation.

Regarded in India as one of the most important books of the 20th century, Gandhi’s commentary on this classic Hindu text addresses the issues he felt most directly affected the spiritual lives of common people. The Bhagavad Gita, also called The Song of the Lord, is a 700-line section of a much longer Sanskrit war epic, the Mahabharata, about the legendary conflict between two branches of an Indian ruling family. Framed as a conversation between Krishna, an incarnation of the god Vishnu, and a general of one of the armies, the Gita is written in powerful poetic language meant to be chanted. Equally treasured as a guide to action, a devotional scripture, a philosophical text, and inspirational reading, it remains one of the world’s most influential, widely read spiritual books. The Bhagavad Gita According to Gandhi is based on talks given by Gandhi between February and November 1926 at the Satyagraha Ashram in Ahmedabad, India. During this time—a period when Gandhi had withdrawn from mass political activity—he devoted much of his time and energy to translating the Gita from Sanskrit into his native Gujarati. As a result, he met with his followers almost daily, after morning prayer sessions, to discuss the Gita’s contents and meaning as it unfolded before him. This book is the transcription of those daily sessions.

My first acquaintance with the Gita began in 1888-89 with the verse translation by Sir Edwin Arnold known as the Song Celestial. On reading it, I felt a keen desire to read a Gujarati translation. And I read as many translations as I could lay hold of. But all such reading can give me no passport for presenting my own translation. Then again my knowledge of Sanskrit is limited, my knowledge of Gujarati too is in no way scholarly. How could I then dare present the public with my translation? It has been my endeavor, as also that of some companions, to reduce to practice the teaching of the Gita as I have understood it. The Gita has become for us a spiritual reference book. I am aware that we ever fail to act in perfect accord with the teaching. The failure is not due to want of effort, but is in spite of it. Even though the failures we seem to see rays of hope. The accompanying rendering contains the meaning of the Gita message which this little band is trying to enforce in its daily conduct. --Mahatma Gandhi Wilder Publications is a green publisher.

New! Compare this edition with six others at http: //www.bandannabooks.com/vsghalib.php. Ghalib, a court poet in India during the period of British takeover, excelled in poetry both in Urdu and Persian. Ghazals are a poetry genre with couplets gathered that share a common theme but do not form a narrative sequence. With these two-liners, Ghalib was a master. His subjects range from personal to cosmic, and includes his metaphoric "love affair" with God, in which he protests the neglect or spurning by The Beloved. Ghalib lived by his wits, with cleverness and astuteness. He did not regard himself as a mystic, yet he marvels at the wonders of existence. Ghalib's work gives a sense of the state of India as it came under the British. He himself was not political; Gandhi came to represent that dimension of Indian philosophy with satyagraha. Gandhi's best thought might be seen in Gandhi on the Gita (Bhagavad Gita) (www.createspace.com/4035181).
