The Bhagavad Gita

One of my favorite sacred texts is the Bhagavad Gita. It is probably the most popular Hindu text.

I recently read Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation by Stephen Mitchell. I'd recommend this one, especially if you haven't ever read the Gita before. It was at my local library and may be at yours, too.

Or you can read a version online here.

I have also had Eknath Easwaran's translation recommended to me, and I have read part of the third volume of his Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living. This 3 volume set contains Easwaran's commentary on the Gita.

I highly recommend the Bhagavad Gita to anyone interested in spirituality, meditation, or metaphysics.
