Why do Hindus feed their dead ancestors? And why do they prefer burning the dead to building tombs? Does Hinduism have no concept of Judgement Day? What is the impact of death on its notions of womanhood and caste? Is the Vedic approach to death different from the Tantric one?

For instance, it is the end of one journey, but it is also the beginning of another.

The clear translation of the original Sanskrit with concise commentary for the 21st century makes this edition of Bhagavad Gita very approachable and easy to hear.
