(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Bhagavad Gita (Audio Cassette)
The narration of this version is over-acted, lacking the quiet contemplative atmosphere fitting a text of this magnatude and importance. The speaker seems to be more of a "new-ager" type than a spiritual seeker. The narration tends to distract from the message of the text. The translation is a bit over the top as well, being done in an old time King James-ish style with lots of thy's and and thou's thrown in to perhaps make it seem more legitimate to western ears for the time that it was translated (1940's or 50's?). Download the out of print version with Jacob Needleman as the narrator from audible.com. It's truer to the message of this holy book
