Our translation of the Bhagavad Gita uses the beauty of verse to express the highest truths of Vedanta. Includes an introduction to the Gita, and a study of non-violence versus the need to fight a just war. The critics have singled out this translation:"The book is self-contained. A complete stranger to the Hindu gospel can pick it up and in one or two evenings follow the poem from its terrific beginnings to its sublime end. When I read the twelfth chapter, I felt that the meaning had not been brought out; I saw deeper meaning in it.
So I started to translate, and then Chris helped me. When Peggy Kiskadden came, she read what we had done and could not understand it. Then we went to Aldous. Chris read aloud, and Aldous listened. Aldous said, 'No, that is not right yet. Forget that Krishna is speaking to the Hindus in Sanskrit. Forget that this is a translation.
Think that Krishna is speaking to an American audience in English. He produced the book in a week He was inspired. Let him who would climb In meditation To heights of the highest Union with Brahman Take for his path The yoga of action. Then when he nears that path of oneness, His acts will fall from him, His path will be tranquil. When goodness grows weak When evil increases I make myself a body. In every age I come back To deliver the holy, To destroy the sin of the sinner, To establish righteousness.
Whatever wish men bring me in worship That wish I grant them. Whatever path men travel It is my path: No matter where they walk It leads to me. It is my path:. For the complete set of all the Vedanta Spiritual Classics in hardback, please click here.

Jun 15, 1 comment. Many American college and university students first encountered this translation as a required text assigned for comparative religion and philosophy courses. This usage can arguably be attributed to the very purpose of this translation: to bring the message of the Gita to those in the West who may know little or nothing about Vedanta philosophy, while still communicating the full spiritual scope and teachings of the scripture in a form written for English speakers by a collaboration between a master of Vedanta and one of the great English language authors of the 20th century. For many spiritual seekers in the s, 60s and 70s including me , this book was a major influence that changed the direction of our lives. I first ran across it when I was 19 and living in Berkeley in
