The Voices of the Bhagavad Gita and Upanishad in T.S Eliot's the Waste Land
Abstract
T.S Eliot's The Waste Land is a complicated text rooted in complex Eastern philosophy. His imagery and characters echo those of which appear in both The Bhagavad Gita and in the Upanishad. Inspired by his own misfortunes in life, particularly in marriage, Eliot explores the themes of life and death and asks the reader to explore these themes with him. His use of Hindu texts in conjunction with his biography makes this poem a true cosmopolitan piece and a significant contribution to the literary world.
