The Bhagavad-Gita - 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-Gita 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 Gita; and an exhaustive glossary of terms.
