Overview

The Bhagavad Gita is considered to be the Hindu Bible and is well-known for its very beautiful and spiritual message which also underlies many of the world religions. This version is the most accurate translation to have been published - and it also reflects the beauty of the original Sanskrit poetry. The commentary and translation also provide information that can be used to understand the structure of Vedic poetry itself - and as such, is the first textbook published on the subject. This version also unearths an ancient Hindu prophecy that should be familiar to many given the famous quote from the father of the atomic bomb. The foreword to the book also ties together many trends in both modern and ancient culture and exposes the harm that has been inflicted on the Hindu faith in recent centuries by those publishing who did not have the proper traditional education in the faith or adequate understanding of the Sanskrit language.

The latest version of the Bhagavad Gita, translated with commentary by James E. Hall, is the first translation of this work of scripture dating back to 800 BC that captures the original message of the Vedas. The foreword is almost the best part of this book - it ties together all of human history, in both the East and the West and identifies trends in Indian culture that resulted in the gradual loss of the original message of Hindu scripture. The author is the world's leading expert in Sanskrit - the translation is highly accurate, unprecedented in terms of accuracy and its consistency with Vedic India - and the poetry, as translated in English - is incredibly beautiful. The book contains the plan for world peace and prosperity, provides the secret to a healthy and happy marriage - and also unearths an ancient Hindu prophecy that has not appeared in any other translation, concerning either world peace or World War III - and confirms, consistent with the famous quote from J. Robert Oppenheimer, who had a key role in the Manhattan project - that indirectly, Hindus may have invented the atomic bomb.
