Clear thematic presentation followed by a sober translation of the entire text. Valuable contribution to the available English editions of this classic.

Who could imagine that this ancient sanskrit text, when translated literally could read as contemporary. The Bhagavad Gita is now an accessible, modern guide for living....... And this edition makes it all approachable for seeker and scholar alike.

este es un libro vital para quiera introducirse en la filosofía del vedānta y profundizar sus estudios. Al tener incluida en esta edición el Bhagavad-gītā hace que la formación se vuelva circular y completa. Una buena forma para los buscadores de acercarse a la divinidad.

This was an excellent comprehensive look at the Bhagavad-Gita. I believe it was helpful having been my second translation as it was very easy to grasp more in depth concepts and get a much fuller understanding of this beautiful text.

I can see more connections in the text and I did with other translations.
