Book Review 25: Bhagavad Gita Introduced and Translated

Translated: Eknath Easwaran
By now you would already know, Bhagavad-Gita is not written by Eknath Easwaran. It was originally a text in the epic Mahabharata. It was set of guide and knowledge handed down from Lord Krishna to his devotee, Arjuna.
Although, another I read version of the Gita translation, I find this to be a better understanding of the Gita.
Eknath doesn't seem to push any agenda except to try his best to reveal the secrets of the Gita. It has a glossary of words from Sanskrit which a person may not understand, which was very useful. Simple language is definitely a bonus.
This is definitely a gem.
