The Bhagavad Gita Comes Alive

This is not just yet another translation of Bhagwat Gita, but it is the best English one there is. Only recently after the intellectual churning of the internet, the western world has the vocabulary, sophistication of thought, and ability to comprehend the timeless wisdom that is encapsulated in the Gita. I can think of no one better suited for this lifetime's work than Jeffrey Armstrong with his deep knowledge of Sanskrit & Hindu culture arising from spiritual practices. It is divine destiny that he commenced this effort, coming from an English literary background and having lived as a child of not one, but three cultures.

Kavindraji has captured the timeless message of the Geeta, in fewest words rooted in their true purport, in a way that a seeker of knowledge and pursuer of wisdom can easily understand, put into action and elevate oneself closer to divinity.

The Bhagavad Gita is a great practical, philosophical, and spiritual guidance to future generations. Mr. Jeffrey Armstrong’s wonderful work and accurate translation of the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna, in a simple practical way, will guide not only the layman but the students and scholars of philosophy as well. I think everyone will love this book.

Kavindra Rishi captures the essence of the Bhagavad Gita and provides a means that allows us to imbibe the message of this classic text quickly and efficiently. It is a message that is as ancient as time itself, and from beyond our mundane perception. In this edition by Kavindra Rishi, we can attain the deep insights to get a better understanding of who we are and our purpose for being here, which itself is a rare treasure.

The Bhagavad Gita is the book for all times, but especially ours when we are dealing with the crisis of alienation and meaning in the Age of Machines.  Jeffrey Armstrong has brought all his skills as an accomplished poet to produce a wonderful translation that speaks directly to the reader.

The Bhagavad Gita has been translated in many languages with hundreds of editions written by scholars all over the world. The natural question is, do we need another interpretive edition? After reviewing this publication, the answer is absolutely yes!
