About Juan Mascaró:
Juan Mascaró is responsible for one of the most popular English translations of the Hindu text Bhagavad Gita, and of some of the major Upanishads. He also translated a key Buddhist text, Dhammapada, into English from P?li, which was published in 1973. His first work, Lamps of Fire, was a collection of religious and spiritual wisdom from across the world; a selection from the book inspired the Beatles song The Inner Light. Though his native tongue was Catalan, he translated into English.
