This translation and commentary also analyzes the causes of problems individual and collective, and how to achieve peace, unity and bliss. Review: This is truly a rare find - I've read and studied several interpretations of the Gita, and this is by far the most profound of all. Aurobindo's translation is clear and readable. What makes this book invaluable is his commentary which describes the heights to which the human soul can soar, and opens vistas to the reader which defy all description. It is best to take your time with this book. Read it with your heart. Listen with your soul. And when you have finished, start over and read it again. It is a rare opportunity to be able to explore such heights. Aurobindo makes that possible in a way that only he can. Review: Enlightened writing - One of the best translations and commentaries on the Geeta I have ever read. It's not an easy breezy read. And rightly so, because the concepts dealt with are no easy and simple ones. The writing delves deep into the complexity of the subject and extracts such deep insights. Enlightened book.

A very good book.
This is a great book. A very unbiased and clear elucidation suitable for anyone interested in understanding the great work that is Bhagavad gita. I was in search of a translation that was as original as possible to the real text with any additional commentary-which inevitably is colored by the author's viewpoints- clearly demarcated. In this case even the commentaries were very objective, free of any kind of propaganda, unlike many other translations.

Gita in its own light
This version compared to Sri Aurobindo's 'essays on Gita' from which this is derived is the one i was looking for since long. I like the verse and meaning style with huge footnotes. The footnotes are from Sri Aurobindo's abridged essays and individual verse in sanskrit and its meaning make it open to understanding from the source for those who love Sanskrit. Truly a great work for the nation of Bharat and the world.

Will help you perceive action in this material world with a deeper sense of meaning
In Rishi's words - The Gita tries to reveal the highest truth that has the highest utility. So far reading every page has helped me develop a deeper sense of meaning in my life and actions. Hope it helps you too!

Great Commentary on the Gita
I have several commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita, all of which offer fresh perspectives. I have always found Aurobindo's writings to be insightful and this commentary is no different.
