📖 About the Book
Shrimad Bhagavat Gita – Persian Translation by Professor Hiralall Chopra is a remarkable and scholarly translation of the Bhagavad Gita into Persian, originally submitted as a thesis to Tehran University, Iran, where Dr. Chopra was conferred the prestigious D.Litt. degree.
This extraordinary work bridges cultural and linguistic traditions, presenting the timeless wisdom of the Gita in Persian poetic form (Masnavi style). Dr. Chopra undertook this monumental translation in just nine months, creating a critical edition complete with annotations, explanations, and profound discussions of philosophical ideas.
The translation stands out for its eloquence and authenticity — using the idioms and stylistic nuances of Persian to convey the spiritual essence of the Gita. Through this work, Dr. Chopra aimed to share the solace and peace the Gita offered him personally, with Persian-speaking readers worldwide.
With its multilingual depth — encompassing Gita in Urdu, Persian, and English — this book serves as a significant resource for scholars, academicians, and students of Persian literature, Hindu philosophy, and comparative religious studies. It is a timeless contribution to intercultural dialogue and spiritual understanding.
