Bhagavad-gita translated into Ukrainian - the Song of God, the pearl of divine revelation, which is taught in Sanskrit and written without quotation marks - as the Bible, Torah, Koran. The American Indologist and linguist Franklin Edgerton even called it "India's favorite Bible," apparently referring to the Bhagavad-gita as the sacred book of Hinduism, as the Bible is to Christians, the Torah to Jews, and the Qur'an to Muslims. But this is not entirely true, because Hinduism does not have a founder, a centralized governing body and, moreover, a unified system of beliefs or a single doctrine. Hinduism includes four main directions (Vaishnavism, Shivaism, Shaktism, Smartism), each of which recognizes the primacy of a purely chosen sacred text.
