For courses in Indian or Asian Philosophy or Religions, Asian Studies, Non-Western Civilizations, Survey of World Religions, Great Texts of Humankind, and Philosophical Ideas in Literature. Unlike all other English translations of the Bhagavad Gita - which are either too literal and abstract, or written in very formal, incomprehensible English, or are philosophically one-sided - this student-friendly "transcreation" offers an unbiased philosophical perspective and presents the main religious and philosophical themes of the Bhagavad Gita in simple/ordinary language easily accessible to today's students. It enables them to read this great work as if it were originally written in their own language - and to capture the excitement of discovering its relevance to their own lives.
