Description : 'The Light of Asia' is an epic poem by Sir Edwin Arnold that was first published in 1879. It quickly became a huge sensation and has continued to resonate powerfully across the world over the last century and a half. Weaving together literary, cultural, political and social history, Jairam Ramesh uncovers and narrates the fascinating story of this deeply consequential and compelling poem that has shaped our thinking of an ancient sage and his teachings. He brings into this unusual narrative the life of the multi-faceted poet himself who, among other things, was steeped in Sanskrit literature. Sir Edwin Arnold's English rendering of the Bhagavad Gita was one of Mahatma Gandhi's abiding favourites. Sir Edwin was also in many ways the man who shaped Bodh Gaya as we know it today.

Jairam Ramesh, an erudite and eloquent politician of our times and a former minister too, decodes the poem written by Edwin Arnold over 140 years ago for us. He makes the interpretations plain and simple for us to understand about Buddha’s life and his eloquent teachings which shape one of world’s most popular religions. Good job Mr. Ramesh, five stars for your book.
