Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme.
Translation of such a work demands not only knowledge of Sanskrit, but an inward sympathy with the theme and a verbal artistry. For the poem is a symphony in which God is seen in all things The Swami does a real service for students by investing the beloved Indian epic with fresh meaning. Whatever our outlook may be, we should all be grateful for the labor that has lead to this illuminating work. The present translation and commentary is another manifestation of the permanent living importance of the Gita.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's scholarly and authoritative edition of Bhagavad Gita. It is a most valuable work for the scholar as well as the layman and is of great utility as a reference book as well as a textbook.
I promptly recommend this edition to my students. It is a beautifully done book. Samuel D. Atkins Professor of Sanskrit, Princeton University. The great interest that his reading of the Bhagavad Gita holds for us is that it offers us an authorized interpretation according to the principles of the Caitanya tradition.
Frederick B. Underwood Professor of Religion, Columbia University. If truth is what works, as Pierce and the pragmatists insist, there must be a kind of truth in the Bhagavad Gita As It Is, since those who follow its teachings display a joyous serenity usually missing in the bleak and strident lives of contemporary people.
Elwin H. Prabhupada's translation is an ideal blend of literal accuracy and religious insight. Thomas J. This is probably less because it is alien per se than because we have lacked just the kind of close interpretative commentary upon it that Swami Bhaktivedanta has here provided, a commentary written from not only a scholar's but a practitioner's, a dedicated lifelong devotee's point of view. By bringing us a new and living interpretation of a text already known to many, he has increased our understanding manyfold.
Edward C Dimock, Jr. Although Bhagavad Gita has been translated many times, Prabhupada adds a translation of singular importance with his commentary For many this will be the first contact with the true India, the ancient India, the eternal India. It will help to stop the terrible cheating of false and unauthorized 'gurus' and 'yogis' and will give an opportunity to all people to understand the actual meaning of Oriental culture.
It is a deeply felt, powerfully conceived and beautifully explained work. I don't know whether to praise more this translation of the Bhagavad Gita, its daring method of explanation, or the endless fertility of its ideas. I have never seen any other work on the Gita with such an important voice and style It will occupy a significant place in the intellectual and ethical life of modern man for a long time to come.
If the aesceticism and ideal of the apostles which form the message of the Bhagavad Gita As It Is were more widespread and more respected, the world in which we live would be transformed into a better, more fraternal place. Question: Is it English version? Answer: Yes, this is the English version.
