 Excellent Introduction November 10, 2006
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
Easwaran's introduction and notes are beautifully written and made many concepts clear to me. I highly recommend this as well as Easwaran's Dhammapada.
Words of Khrisna August 6, 2006
3 out of 42 found this review helpful
I am going to buy this book and read it. I am going to compare it to the New Testament writings. I will compare the words of Khrisna with the words of Christ. Which words have the path of salvation in them and which words are a lie? This question is of all others the most important.
I will write another review when I have completed my review and readings and let you know what I find.
I invite all of you to do this investigation with me and let me know what you find.
God bless you all.

Beautiful copy June 28, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This copy of the Bhagavad Gita is remarkably beautiful. This hardcover version is a must for a person serious in reading this conversation with God over and over again. The commentary is well studied and provides a very nice context to complement the actual chapters to gain a better understanding of the deeper meaning. Highly recommended.
A scholarly yet readable translation makes BG relevant today May 15, 2006
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
No wonder this is the best-selling translation of this Indian classic work! Easwaran gives a full introduction, putting the Gita into the context of the literature and traditions of the time, and showing how it relates to modern philosophy. Sanskrit concepts that are quite difficult to translate into English are explained carefully, as is the relationship with Yoga. The translation itself is vivid and convincing, and the book is cleverly divided, with each chapter preceded by a clear explanation of the difficult concepts to come in that chapter.
Required For Any Library of Eastern Theology! March 12, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This slim volume in my opinion, should be, along with Easwaran's translation of the Upanishads and Dhammapada, on the shelf of every student of Eastern Wisdom. The translation is beautiful, somewhere between prose and poetry, and the introduction, and chapter openings are especially helpful to Westerners unfamiliar with Hinduism, and the non-physical schools of Yoga.
