Anonymous es un movimiento internacional de ciberactivistas, formado por un número indeterminado de personas que reciben ese nombre porque no revelan su identidad. Son anónimos.

No hay líderes y todos son iguales. Están descentralizados. Anonymous es una red distibuida. Se agrupan en 'colmenas' y suelen llevar a cabo sus acciones tras someterlas a votación entre todos los miembros del grupo.

No pertenecen a ningún partido político y están distribuidos por todos los rincones del mundo. Todos se representan bajo un mismo símbolo, la máscara que utiliza V en la novela gráfica "V de Vendetta", que se adaptó al cine con el mismo título, y que se ha convertido en uno de los emblemas más reconocidos de la actualidad.

La careta representa la figura Guy Fawkes, quien trató de poner una bomba en los cimientos del Parlamento Británico para asesinar al rey Jacobo I en 1605.

Su lema es "El conocimiento es libre. Somos Anonymous. Somos Legión. No perdonamos. No olvidamos. ¡Esperadnos!". Es el mensaje que han lanzado al mundo en cada vídeo que han creado para reivindicar sus ciberataques contra las páginas web de distintas entidades.

El caso Wikileaks prendió la mecha en el grupo. Se declararon enemigos de los enemigos de Wikileaks y tumbaron a todos los que negaron su apoyo a Julian Assange, como Visa, Mastercard, PayPal o Amazon.

También saltaron a la fama por sus ataques en España contra la página web de la SGAE y el Ministerio de Cultura, así como centenares de páginas que han sido atacadas en los últimos meses, como la de la Academia del Cine y la Televisión.

Se llevaron por delante las webs de varios partidos políticos españoles tras la aprobación de la ley Sinde. También actuaron contra Sony, aunque se han desmarcado de los ataques que colapsaron las plataformas on-line del gigante japonés.

Se hicieron ver en la alfombra roja de los Goya para protestar contra la ley Sinde en 2011, igual que en la edición celebrada en 2012, donde lograron colarse en el escenario, y sus caretas también se pudieron ver en la Puerta del Sol, en apoyo a los indignados del movimiento del 15M.

Según un comunicado de la Policía Nacional, también lanzaron una ofensiva contra la página de la Junta Electoral Central y posteriormente contra las webs de los Mossos d´Esquadra y de la UGT.

Uno de sus ataques de mayor calado fue el perpetrado contra la web del Banco Central de Grecia en Mayo de 2016.

Son muchas las entidades, bancos y empresas que se encuentran en el punto de mira de Anonymous. En el mundo editorial cabría destacar la animadversión que esta organización profesa hacia el Grupo Planeta por su supuesto papel monopolista y censor de la libertad editorial.

En este espacio, cedido por Amazon, se han incluido algunas de aquellas obras literarias que, al igual que ocurre con los actos de Anonymous, han sido publicadas bajo el anonimato de sus autores a lo largo de la historia.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most readable truest English rendition of the Gita
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2006
Verified Purchase
The Bhagavad Gita is the world's most translated scripture. The task for a Gita translator is to effectively take the poetic multilayer Sanskrit original and translate it into English preserving it's flavor allowing it to stand alone without commentary. Few have succeeded. I have read multiple editions of the Gita and,in my Sanskrit studies, read the original in Sanskrit.

While I haven't read all the English translations, Mascaro's translation is the best I have read. It takes the reader to the heart of the Gita, to their own heart and to that of Lord Krishna with practical real instructions on how we should live to be aligned with God. It is a practical nitty gritty instruction manual on how we are to construct and conduct ourselves in our own "life battle".

Gandhi read the Gita as his daily practice; it sustained him. I have found the same experience when I have picked up this volume during my own times of crisis.

If one wants to plumb the depths of the Gita, then I would suggest getting Winthrop Sargent's Bhagavad Gita with the Sanskrit and Sanskrit translation. It is excellent, but a few of the translations are off, and it is dry compared to Mascaro.

There are many commentaries and at present I don't have a favorite one to recommend.

If one wants to explore both the flavor and the depth of the Gita, I would recommend undertaking Sanskrit studies with Vyaas Houston [...] . He gives weekend trainings to begin to learn Sanskrit as well as immersions into the Gita.

I can assure you, you won't be disappointed.

If you don't have the time or money, Mascaro's translation is a gold mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing book, an eye-opener.
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2010

After much concern as a Christian, over whether or not Hindus believe in one Supreme Being or not, this book put my concerns to rest. It explains, as a 500 BC document, their view of God and His avatars on earth, the Trinity as they know it, and who their God is by name. I was completely intrigued by phrases in this "prayer" or poem, that echo the Nicene Creed: God of Gods, Light of light, Very God of Very God, Begotten not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom all things were made. This book should be required reading for all seminary students. Now we know things in Hinduism got fairly convoluted with over 200 demi-gods after this book was written, but it tells it like it was when it started. The Trimurti is still a mystery as is the Trinity, but over all, Brahman is God. A masterful work.

4.0 out of 5 stars A historic work of literature
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2016
Verified Purchase
Of course, this is a very famous Indian book, as most folks probably know. However, I find it to be in line with much of the concepts of the Old Testament, where God is not just pure love, but also the retributive power, and also quite imbued with his own magnificence. So, if you feel that your perception of the Divine lies along these concepts, you will be happy. Of course, I read it mostly for its historic value, not so much that I expected a certain message from it! And one should definitely read it at least for this very reason, to round out one's education in this field!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have spiritual guide!
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2009
Verified Purchase
This is a powerful, transforming book. I have read it about 4 times. It has taught me much about stilling my mind and heart. This may well be my favorite book ever. I have written many of its passages on cards and meditate on them frequently for peace and for helping me to draw close to God. Much of it has truly become a part of me. Much of who I am spiritually I owe to the Gita.
As for this translation, I have tried about 3 other translations. Now I'm glad I read Mascaro's translation first, because if I read one of the others first I might have lost interest in it and might never have pick it up again and thus I would not have received such valuable insight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressions of Juan Mascaro's translation of the Bhagavad Gita, re-read after many decades
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2013
Verified Purchase
Juan Mascaro's translation remains simply the best.

The English is clear, the words are considered, and the balance of the sentences is simply marvellous.

It reminds one of the simple, balanced writing of the King James Bible. My feeling is that the way Mascaro writes English is strongly influenced by his Catalan heritage, yet the exactitude of his prose reflects his long association with Cambridge.

In my opinion, comparing several other translations, Mascaro's translation delivers what is most important-- the spirit of the message in simple, clear english.

5.0 out of 5 stars Um grande obra do pensamento oriental
Reviewed in Brazil on May 2, 2019
Verified Purchase
Um dos livros básicos do hinduísmo e de todas as suas derivações, o Bhagavad Gita é também uma belíssima obra literária e um tratado de Filosofia Oriental. O livro faz parte de um relato mais amplo, o Mahabharata, que conta a história da guerra dos pandavas com os karauvas pelo trono. O arqueiro Arjuna, um pandava, olha os dois exércitos que estão prestes a se envolverem em uma sangrenta batalha (4 milhões de pessoas irão morrer) e reconhece mestres, parentes, amigos do lado de seus inimigos. Em desespero, está prestes a desistir da batalha, pois é um dever não matar seus parentes e mestres, mas, para ele que é um guerreiro, é também um dever lutar. Pede então a seu amigo, e condutor de seu carro, Krishna, que o ensine. Krishna ensina que todos os homens ali já estão mortos, e, ao mesmo tempo, que são imortais. Por isso, Arjuna deve fazer seu dever, mas, para alcançar a paz, deve fazê-lo com desapego, sem esperar qualquer resultado, sem esperar qualquer recompensa. Só esse tipo ação (dharma) tem valor, se ele quer serenar seu espírito, pois existem três disciplinas que podem produzir a paz: a disciplina do conhecimento e da luz (Jnana Yoga), a disciplina da devoção e do amor (Bhakti Yoga) e a disciplina da ação (Karma Yoga). Depois de ser ensinado, e de perceber que todo o universo está interconectado por causas produzidas por essa ação, Arjuna decide lutar. Apesar da Filosofia Oriental se expressar de um modo muito diferente da Ocidental, entremeada com conceitos religiosos, há conceitos puramente filosóficos, muito semelhantes ao Estoicismo e às filosofias de Platão e de Aristóteles. O capítulo 12 deu origem à letra da canção Gita, de Raul Seixas e Paulo Coelho.
