The Bhagavad Gita with Text, Translation and Commentary in the Words of Sri Aurobindo

I can't decide if I love or hate this book. I wish I could read Sanskrit in the original then I might find it easier to follow. I'm not criticising the translation which I am sure is fine. There are also detailed commentaries and footnotes. No, the problem is I have to Gita grip on challenging concepts and teachings. I read small sections, several times over and over, and over, and then try to give it some thought. Then I'm not sure I've understood what I have read. It would be helpful if it contained a glossary of Sankskrit. Although there is an excellent index for the dozens of names for Sri Krishna and Arjuna you will need to look up a lot of other background names and terms elsewhere (thank heavens for the internet) if you do not have this knowledge.

The perfect book for those who want to comprehend the deeper meaning of Gita and its application in life. Shri Aurobindo's commentary gives great insights into the concepts which are otherwise difficult to get from the sanskrit verses alone.

True Gita standards for anyone interested in reading along with The Spirit about how to interpret this book in the modern age and find a new meaning for the word 'Krishna'.

This is excellent! It's the best translation with the most insightful and complete commentary that one could hope for.

I gathered myselves to start reading this sacred book.This gave new insights, shattered old learnings, gave more strength to meBook of my life!!!
