Vancouver SUN: Vancouver Scholar Pens First Decolonized English Translation of Ancient Indian Scripture

"The Bhagavad Gita, which was written more than 5,000 years ago -- some say 7,500 years ago -- is considered the ultimate guide on how to navigate life’s struggles and dilemmas and find meaning within existence.

A new English translation of the ancient Indian scripture Bhagavad Gita could be the closest to the original because it doesn’t include western or Christian distortions.
