The Bhagavad Gita (Annotated) (Deluxe Library Binding)

It is estimated that the origins of the "Bhagavad-gita," a 700 verse Hindu scripture which is part of the larger "Mahabharata" was originally composed as early as the 9th century BC. Ascribed to the Sage Vyasa, the "Bhagavad-gita" is a classic work of Hindu scripture which relates the story of Prince Arjuna who is faced with a decision with serious moral consequence, whether or not to go to war. With the armies arrayed on the battlefield, Arjuna in a moment of hesitation is counseled by Vishnu, the Supreme God, who takes the form of Krishna wearing the disguise of a charioteer. This work along with its larger counterpart the "Mahabharata" has been described as one of the most important works of scripture ever composed. A classic tale of Hindu spirituality, the "Bhagavad-gita" provides great insight into dealing with the morally ambiguous challenges that face us all. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper has been translated into English prose with an introduction by Kashinath Trimbak Telang.

शीतल

Almost perfect. Just like Plato's works, this book functions in a dialogue form where one person asks the question and the other answers it. The author has tried to cover almost all the topics that a human can question about life. This is a classic work and so it will be relatable for every age. If one has read Upanishads, they would know that this book has taken its ideas from the Upanishads.  Otherwise this would be a complex read for the newbies. To understand the concepts clearly, I would suggest to watch "Vivekananda Mutt" lectures on YouTube. The book is too deep than you can imagine.
