A Book of Hindu Scriptures: The Bagavad Gita, The Upanishads, The Rig – Veda
W**N
A good, but flawed, collection
This is a wonderful collection of some of the key Hindu scriptures (Rg Veda, Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita) but it is not without its significant flaws: the Kindle version is disastrously (un)formatted, providing not even a table of contents which would allow one to skip to one or another of the three major sections. There is no attention paid to formatting and its effect on readability. My other primary complaint is the use of extremely dated translations. Not bad translations, mind you, but dated in much the same way that Fowler translations of Plato are dated. If you can move beyond that, which requires some effort but is not beyond the skill, I think, of an intelligent reader, you will be rewarded with some real gems of Indian sacred literature.
