“This translation is simple and accessible to the western mind, however is loses the lyrical and deep poetic quality of the original translations.”

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 explanations and commentary into the main text -- that, however, is what makes it so easy to follow even without a teacher.”
