The Bhagavad Gita, the “Song of the Lord,” is the best known of all the Indian scriptures, and Eknath Easwaran’s translation is accessible, readable, and profound.

Easwaran's 55-page introduction places the Bhagavad Gita in its historical setting, and brings out the universality and timelessness of its teachings. Chapter introductions clarify key concepts, and notes and a glossary explain Sanskrit terms. The Gita’s subject is the war within, the struggle for self-mastery that every human being must wage” to live a life that is meaningful, fulfilling, and worthwhile.

This book is a must-have for any yoga student.
