The Bhagavad Gita in English

A New Translation for Students

By: Allowah Lani

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

This new translation of the Bhagavad Gita is excellent for students, scholars, and all those who are seeking to engage with this remarkable scripture in a deeper way.

This is one of the finest English translations of the Bhagavad Gita due to its faithfulness to the precise meaning of terms and unbiased approach.

Please note that this translation has only the English, not the Sanskrit. If you would like the fuller translation that includes the Sanskrit and a word-by-word translation, it is also available from the same author on Amazon.

The one thing this volume does not contain is an explanation of the meaning of each verse (so-called "purports," or "imports"), but it does have introductory notes and a glossary of terms. The upside of not having the purports is that the reader can better engage with the text without the filter of interpretation. While some would say that a translation is in fact an interpretation, and this is true to an extent, the reader is welcome to compare with any of the many other translations available on the market.

This version of the Gita has been lovingly prepared for you with the intention of remaining as true as possible to the original meaning of this immortal dialogue.

The author has 30 years of study of Sanskrit and Yoga, and did graduate work in Sanskrit at the University of Pennsylvania.
