This review is from: Introduction to the Bhagavad-Gita: Its Philosophy and Cultural Setting (Paperback)

This was very intense as Feuerstein often is. But a beautifully written translitteration of the Bhagadvad Gita with his commentaries. It was at times difficult to inturpret and I would reccomend having the "Yoga Encyclopedia/Dictionary" (older version if possible) handy while reading it. It helps with the Sanskrit. Overall the story is touching and very much applies to our lives today. A must read for serious Yogins and Yoginis.
