Bhagavad Gita (Chidbhavananda)

translated by Swami Chidbhavananda

This is a large heavy book with everything you could need for studying the Bhagavad Gita.

For Sanskrit students, this book is popular since it includes Devanagri text, transliterated Sanskrit, comprehensive breakdown of compound words, word-by-word meanings, English translation, and commentary from Sri Ramakrishna's teachings.

The publishers in India have kept this book very inexpensive for many years, but note that the production quality, though good, is not the same as books from the west. Some of the books have covers with a wrinkled lamination, or the cover may be a little bent. Nonetheless, the books are well worth inclusion in the libraries of students of Sanskrit and the Bhagavad Gita.

This is a book I can't recommend highly enough. It is the Gita used by Ananda ashram in New York. It has sankrit word-by-word definitions along with the sanskrit, and then has a translation, and finally a commentary.

This would be the book that I would recommend to beginners and advanced students of Gita alike. Well written, and lucid.

This Gita gets 5 stars. It is clear, thorough, scholarly, and suitable for beginners and serious students. There are a few typos here and there but by and large it's nothing to quibble over But I have to knock off a little for the copy I got. I know the quality isn't first rate; I expected that. But my copy was the single dirtiest book I've ever encountered, like it was sitting in the corner of a dusty warehouse. There was also partial water damage. I actually had to completely remove the dust jacket and vacuum the book. It was weeks before opening it didn't make me sneeze.
