The Bhagavad-Gita : Krishna's Counsel in Time of War

by Barbara Miller

The Bhagavad-Gita has been an essential text of Hindu culture in India since the time of its composition in the first century A.D. One of the great classics of world literature, it has inspired such diverse thinkers as Henry David Thoreau, Mahatma Gandhi, and T.S. Eliot; most recently, it formed the core of Peter Brook's celebrated production of the Mahabharata. (read review)

[This is a review of Jack Hawley's version of the Bhagavad Gita. I don't know understand the reference to Barbara Miller in the Shelfari view of the book.]

Possibly the most amazing book ever written! Containing enough wisdom to last a lifetime, the Bhagavad Gita is best understood when studied with the help of a teacher.
This, however, is an excellent edition to start with, especially if one is studying it on one's own. Not an absolutely faithful translation because it works...
