The Bhagavad Gita

A really helpful start for beginning a study of such a profound subject. A very clearly set out book and eminently readable.

Great book! Brilliant service! Thank you very much!

Very interesting book with enlightening passages for one to underline, reread and go back to several times for internalzing wisdom.

Wonderful translation.

Gita has to get a superstar rating in whatever you acquire it. Great work. Howvere this is a pure translation so do not expect anything explained.

Very well written. I think this author has potential!

The Bhagavad Gita is not only a great source of spiritual illumination, it's great poetry, and great poetry has to be translated properly. WJ Johnson is clearly enormously learned in the Hindu classics, and I've no doubt that this is a very faithful and accurate translation. But it's not poetry. Sometimes one can hear the cadences of the original singing through but too often the translation reads like the minutes of a middle management meeting. Pity.

A meaty offering in such a small space. Don't be deceived. You will never reach the end of this tome.

This was a good purchase. Although I needed this adaptation for a University course, it has since become one of my favourite Gita translations.

Excellent quality

Me gusta que contiene pocas aclaraciones y las pocas explicaciones que contiene parecen ser objetivas e históricas, en vez de subjetivas y personales o sectarias. Muy bien.

An amazing scholarly version good for a deep philosophical read

Ich war überrascht wie informativ dieses kleine Buch ist. Auch wenn man sich zuvor noch nicht mit den indischen Religionen beschäftigt hat, wird hier alles sehr verständlich erklärt.
