5.0 out of 5 stars Arjuna in the Mahabharata: Where Krishna is,there is Victory, March 30, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Arjuna in the Mahabharata: Where Krishna is, There is Victory (Hardcover)

This book grew out of a Doctoral Thesis that the Author completed at the Harvard University in 1980 A more thorough book on the personality of Arjuna is almost impossible to find. Ruth Katz has treated Arjuna's persona under three headings: Hero, Human, and Devotee.If you want to know how to be either a Hero, or a Human or a Devotee, there is no better example than that of the Dearest friend of God Lord Krishna namely Arjuna, and Ruth Katz has presented Arjuna in a very clear picture. A MUST for any student of any religion, creed or belief.Students of Indian studies should be thankful to Ruth Katz. I am.
