Summary

The Definitive English Edition of Bhagavad-gītā “By bringing us a new and living interpretation of a text already known to many, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda has increased our understanding manyfold.” —Professor Edward C. Dimock, Jr. Department of South Asian Languages and Civilization, University of Chicago A masterpiece of scriptural literature, Bhagavad-gītā is a sacred “song” in the form of a battlefield dialogue between the Lord Kṛṣṇa and Arjuna, His friend and disciple. Kṛṣṇa, acting as Arjuna’s adviser, instructs him in the science of self-realization, teaching him how to live as a devotee of the Lord and to thus reach the eternal spiritual world while continuing to perform his earthly duties. Śrīla Prabhupāda’s Gītā, completely new in its authenticity, is addressed to all humanity, for it clearly teaches the purpose of the human form of life–to cultivate spiritual knowledge. This edition of the work presents this knowledge as it was originally handed down, without being adulterated by philosophical interpretation. It is fully indexed and cross-referenced and is illustrated with forty-four magnificent full-color paintings–original works painted especially for this volume to depict events in the Gītā and exemplify the teachings of Kṛṣṇa. Containing the Roman transliterations, translation and commentary. Bhagavad-gītā As It Is is the most complete and authoritative transmission of this timeless scripture in print and the only one that does not obscure the true spirit of Kṛṣṇa’s teachings. HIS DIVINE GRACE A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA SWAMI PRABHUPĀDA, the leading exponent of the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness in the West and the world’s most distinguished teacher of Vedic religion and thought is the author of Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Kṛṣṇa and many other versions of Vedic literature. He is a fully self-realized devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa and is the latest disciple in a succession that originally began with Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is the founder and spiritual master of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness which now has centers in major cities throughout the world.
