5.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent modern rendition for the educated reader,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bhagavad Gita: A Scripture for the Future (Hardcover)
This book is truly complete. A precise translation directly from the original Sanskrit text, with commentary that higlights the text's essence and has appeal for the modern reader. The reader learns to appreciate the teachings of the Gita in the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda ideal. The commentary is truly what distinguishes this book from other translations. The author's language is often poetic, adding an emotional aspect, which helps in retaining the lessons to be learned from it. Revealing parables along with pertinent real-life examples of a variety of historical figures; add another dimension to the text. As any version of the Gita, very rich lessons can be learned from this text, however, full appreciation of this particular version demands an educated and well rounded reader.
