5.0 out of 5 stars Great translation of a great book!, June 10, 1999

By A Customer

I had the honor of being Mr. de Nicolas' student in St. Augustine, FL. His translation of the Gita is perhaps the clearest, most human translation I have read. The focus is on the _doing_, the epistemology of action, instead of the words that so often get in the way. If you are looking for a meaningful, comprehensible, translation done by someone who is intimate with the philosophy and the language, look no further.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, September 28, 2000

By A Customer

This book is perhaps the best modern introduction to the Bhagavad Gita. "It is a book to be read again and again, at various stages of life's path, for once you truly comprehend the material presented, you are well on your way to understanding the meaning of life!"
