Review: BEST English edition of Gita available - Bhagavad Gita is the most popular of the scriptures of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). However, the message is for the whole mankind and not just for the Hindus. It is one of the three canons of Vedanta (the other two are the Upanishads and the Brahma Sutras). The Gita discusses the various paths to Self-Realization, known as yogas, systematically. There are dozens of English translations of the Gita. How to choose? The best commentary to Gita is by Adi Sankara, the 7th century saint and non-dual philosopher of India. His commentary takes a non-dual approach, which is the widely accepted vedantic philosophy. There are a few literal translations of Gita with Adi Sankara's commentary. The more recent ones are by Swami Gambhirananda and by Swami Nikhilananda. Gambhirananda's is a literal translation and at times it is very difficult to comprehend. One feels like some explanation of Sankara's commentary is needed. On the other hand, Swami Nikhilananda's approach is to present notes to each verse based on Adi Sankara's commentary which makes it very easy to read and comprehend. He elaborates where an elaboration is needed and has omitted occasional portions of the commentary which are extremely technical and don't interest majority of the readers. This makes it an excellent read and hence I prefer Nikhilananda's version. Also his English is excellent. No wonder, Time Magazine gave a great review for this edition of Gita. A brief summary of the Mahabharata is included, which helps one understand the context in which the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna takes place. Highly recommend this book. After reading this book, those interested in the path of jnana or self-enquiry should read Sri Sadhu Om's 'The Path of Sri Ramana'. Review: Lucid and detailed - Very lucid in its exposition. I haven't read a commentary that is used a simpler language but at the same time so detailed based on Adi Shankara's original commentary. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #195,460 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Bhagavad Gita (Books) #23 in Hindu Rituals & Practice (Books) #1,305 in Eastern Philosophy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 335 Reviews | ## Images ![- Bhagavad Gita - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91bSgO2xNOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BEST English edition of Gita available *by C***K on February 10, 2007* Bhagavad Gita is the most popular of the scriptures of Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).
