The Nature of the Self in the Bhagavad Gita: Session Two
OCHS Library
Prof. Gavin Flood
Friday, 8 November 2013 - 2:00pm to 3:00pm
Chapter 13 of the Bhagavad Gita is about the relationship between ‘the field’ and ‘the field knower’ which can be taken to represent the body and self or universe and God. Different commentators had different interpretations about this relationship. The two seminars will examine the commentaries of Saṅkara and Ramanuja, focusing inparticular on the opening three verses.
