The Bhagavad-Gita and other tales

Most recently in Classic World Lit we have been reading Eastern sacred texts. This is different. However, its very interesting albiet challenging to understand due to not only the time separation but also in the way that this is a culture that has developed very much apart from our Western-set minds.

I am enjoying learning about something so new to me in so many ways, but when reading Buddhist and Hindu texts, I can't help but but to maintain my interest by thinking that the names that they use sound remarkably like something right out of Star Trek.
