Book Reviews of The Bhagavad Gita (Oxford World's Classics)
Book Review: A good translation of an okay story
Summary: 4 Stars
This being the only translation I've read I can't really compare against others but this one had lots of helpful information to get you better set in the story and had reference notes explaining what certain words westerners probably aren't familiar with meant. I don't really like the story itself but I think if you're going to read it this is probably one of the better ones to read.
