Best Gita Book for beginners
This book is excellent for those who are new to the Gita or bhakti yoga. It's very manageable, has a good glossary in the back and fits well as an introduction or translation for those who don't need the actual verses line by line. I tried to read the Gita as it is first but it was beyond me. This was a great fit and it's not rudimentary in the sense that I would ever get bored. Will happily reread this and enjoy it's straightforward approach

A Beautiful Book!
This is by far the best introduction I’ve ever read of the Bhagavad Gita. I can’t recommend this book enough for all yoga students and anyone interested in begining their relationship with this text. The author has written an accessible and short book that presents the ancient wisdom of the Gita in a way that resonates with people living in the 21st century.

Very good.
The way the world is going these days, I keep turning to this and the Bible to keep my faith. Really nice translation with commentary that helps me understand the Gita, and illuminates it.

Best summary of the Gita ever!
I love this author's views and easy explanations of this classic epic. Within the setting of a battlefield, so much food for thought elicited prior to war re: the consequences of each individual life, our duties within this life and the meaning of our deeper relationship with a Supreme Loving Being. Great Job!

Maybe a primer?
If your new to the concepts in the Bhagavad Gita then this might be a good place for you to start. It's an easy way to read some of it. The author putting his thoughts at the beginning of each section acts as quick summary of the proceeding passages. If you're familiar with reading philosophic topics then I'd jump straight to the source for reading and reflection. Mainly because the author doesn't add a new interpretation of topics than what can be seen at face value from the text.
