Bhagavad-gītā as it is

"A masterpiece of scriptural literature, Bhagavad-gītā is a sacred 'song' in the form of a battlefield dialogue between the Lord Sri Krsna and Arjuna, His friend and disciple. Krsna, acting as Arjuna's advisor, instructs him in the science of self-realization, teaching him how to live as a devotee of the Lord and to thus reach the eternal spiritual world while continuing to perform his earthly duties. Unlike other editions of the Gītā, this one is presented as it is - without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. Containing the original Sanskrit text, Roman transliterations, English synonyms, translation and commentary, Bhagavad-gītā As It Is is the most complete and authoritative transmission of this timeless scripture in print and the only one that does not obscure the true spirit of Krsna's teachings." -- Back of book.
