The Bhagavad Gita

One of my favorite translations on Bhagavad Gita. Sri Sivanandajis commentary is very simple, lucid, concise, and stays true to the intent of the discussion between Krishna and Arjuna. The book size is also very nice for taking on the go and the book pages are nice and thick. I would recommend all sincere students of Yoga, Vedanta, and Hindu Dharma to have Sri Sivanandajis Bhagavad Gita on deck.

I like everything about The Bhagavad Gita. It is teaching us what is life and how it should be lived.

This 'book' is God incarnate. I really have nothing more to say. I feel so thankful that Swami ji put his energy into creating this translation and commentary. I am also very fond of the the prayer and Gita Mahatmya. May Swami Sivanand ji 's eternal blessings always flow!

I like it. It is easy to understand.

Very nicely bound and translated with the insites of the Swami Sivananda to aid you on your quest for enlightenment.

It an amazing book, its a pool of ancient wisdom. I wish I read it at school.

Sivananda translated and wrote commentaries on the Gita, Upanishads and Brahma Sutras, the three main texts of Vedanta, from a yoga standpoint.

There were many versions from which to choose and I am very happy with this selection.

Thanks to Swammi Sivananda's comments this book becomes so easy to understand that you can really enjoy entirely. It's a must in your library and it's a book for your entire life, every time you read it you'll find new things to learn. It's the perfect guide to help you even in the worst moments, one can take refuge in Bhagavad Gita and being taken cared of.

Sri Sivananda's translation of the Bhagavad Gita is one of the better versions and one I would strongly recommend to a 'Western' minded seeker who is less than familiar with the history and culture which produced the incredible work. The Gita itself is in my opinion simply the greatest self-help/awareness/development book ever written. I have several versions of 'the Gita' some good, some great, some not so good or great, the seeker will find the best for him/herself. For my I find Sri Sivananda's version better than the esteemed Paramahansa Yogananda 'God Talks With Arjuna' version as it doesn't stretch the commentaries over page after page. I would only recommend a Gita with commentaries to Western first timers as so much is culturally relevant to a time and place in ancient Bharat that many points may be completely missed. Once familiar you will start to ignore the commentaries completely.

Superbe ouvrage

This book arrived two weeks ahead of schedule. Very pleased about that and the book is exactly as described. I am using it to prepare for Yoga Teacher Training. It is recommended reading for the course and I’m very glad that it is. It helps a great deal with understanding the ancient teachings of the Indian philosophy and culture of Yoga and Vedanta.

A must read.
