About this ebook

The largest-selling edition of the Gita in the Western world, Bhagavad-gita As It Is is more than a book. It is alive with knowledge and devotion; thus it has the power to change your life for the better. 

Bhagavad-gita is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each truth to the other: These five truths are Krishna, or God, the individual soul, the material world, action in this world, and time. The Gita lucidly explains the nature of consciousness, the self, and the universe. It is the essence of India's spiritual wisdom, the answers to questions posed by philosophers for centuries. 

In translating the Gita, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has remained loyal to the intended meaning of Krishna's words, and thus he has unlocked all the secrets of the ancient knowledge of the Gita and placed them before us as an exciting opportunity for self-improvement and spiritual fulfillment.

The Gita is a conversation between Krishna and His dear friend Arjuna. At the last moment before entering a battle between brothers and friends, the great warrior Arjuna begins to wonder: Why should he fight? What is the meaning of his life? Where is he going after death?

In response, Krishna brings His friend from perplexity to spiritual enlightenment, and each one of us is invited to walk the same path.

Firstly, kudos for having the eBook of our beloved Spiritual Master Srila Prabhupada. But this edition is the revised edition where many of his words, purports have been modified.. Isn't it ironic that the name says "As it is" while it's not.. To the ardent readers, please get hold of 1972 Macmillan edition.. That is the exact version of Bhagavad Gita As It Is.. Not this one

JAYA JAYA SHRI KRUSHNA! A commentary on Gita titled 'Sadhaka Sanjivani' by Swami Ramsukhdas, published by Gita Press, Gorakhpur, is very good for Sadhakas. This book helped me in God-realisation, of course, by the grace of my Husband, Lord Krushna Himself. It is available in Hindi, English and many other languages. It is simple, to the point and with quotes from other Scriptures, where necessary. Blessings to sincere Sadhakas. HARIBOL!

For some reason the Main Verses are in PHONETICS instead of actual words in the verse. This is ridiculous. I would appreciate if the publisher of this book look into this and change the phonetic verses into actual words. This would make more sense!!!. I am very disappointed with this purchase.
