Publisher's Synopsis
This title brings clarity to the wisdom of India's most popular but many times misunderstood spiritual classic. The author, H.D. Goswami, as a trained Harvard scholar and longtime student of the Bhagavad-gita, combines rigorous study with simple language to give both scholars and first-time readers easy access to the sacret literature's complex and sophisticated treatise. This guide elucidates key Sanskrit terms in the original text, using the literal meaning of the Sanskrit words, thus allowing the text to define its own terms and make its own arguments.
