The Bhagavad Gita

THE BHAGAVAD GITA is one of the world's most beloved sacred texts. Devotees of the Gita number in the hundreds of millions. Why? The essence of its teaching is that we live (physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually) in combat on a battlefield (our physical body). Our karmic attachments form a "prison" from which we must struggle to escape through meditation, devotion, knowledge, and action. This translation clings to the original Sanskrit. Frequent translators' notes make it accessible to the beginner and intriguing to the scholar. An introduction, a translators' preface, and two supplementary essays accompany the translation.
