In this translation, the Bhagavad Gita stands out as a book of choices â" direct, practical, universal.

The Bhagavad Gita, the âSong of the Lord,â portrays the meeting of man and God. On the morning of battle, facing the forces of greed, anger, and hatred, the legendary prince Arjuna loses his nerve and refuses to fight. His friend Sri Krishna, who represents the Lord within, knows better: âYour very nature will drive you to fight.â

âMaintaining a careful balance between introductions to each chapter and the text itself, Easwaran transposes the spirit of the Gita into our society's consciousness without compromising the spiritual depth. Strongly recommended.â â"Choice
