The Bhagavad Gita

A really helpful start for beginning a study of such a profound subject. A very clearly set out book and eminently readable.

Very interesting book with enlightening passages for one to underline, reread and go back to several times for internalzing wisdom.

Great book! Brilliant service! Thank you very much!

Wonderful translation.

Very well written. I think this author has potential!

Gita has to get a superstar rating in whatever you acquire it. Great work. Howvere this is a pure translation so do not expect anything explained.

The Bhagavad Gita is not only a great source of spiritual illumination, it's great poetry, and great poetry has to be translated properly. WJ Johnson is clearly enormously learned in the Hindu classics, and I've no doubt that this is a very faithful and accurate translation. But it's not poetry. Sometimes one can hear the cadences of the original singing through but too often the translation reads like the minutes of a middle management meeting. Pity.

I should've bough this book a long time ago. It's so much in it. One tends to "spoil" the pages by adding own thoughts.
