The Bhagavad-Gita by Georg Feuerstein

A fresh English translation laid out facing the original Sanskrit for easy reference and accompanied by a wealth of essential ancillary materials that make this book a complete course on the Bhagavad-Gīta in a single volume.

This translation stands out from the many others first of all in its careful faithfulness to the original language, but also for the extensive tools for understanding it provides. It is accompanied by detailed explanatory notes, as well as by the entire Sanskrit text on facing pages--both in the original Devanagri alphabet and in a romanized version that allows the reader to approximate the sounds of this work (a pronunciation guide is also provided). Also included is a literal, word-for-word translation for comparison; extensive material on the background, symbolism, and influence of the Gīta; and an exhaustive glossary of terms.
Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D., is one of the most highly regarded scholars of Yoga in the world. Director of the Yoga Research and Education Center in northern California, he has written more than thirty books, inlcuding The Shambhala Guide to Yoga and The Yoga Tradition, and is the co-author of Yoga for Dummies. In 2000 he was named one of America's 25 Outstanding Yoga Teachers by Yoga Journal.
