The Bhagavad Gita Comes Alive: A Radical Translation
17th American Book Fest Award-Winning Finalist

The Bhagavad Gita is India’s (Bharat) most celebrated and enlightening spiritual text...Set over 7,500 years ago on the verge of an epic battle, the Gita is a unique and enthralling philosophical conversation between the Supreme Being Shri Krishna and his dear friend, the mighty warrior, Arjuna. Although there have been hundreds of English translations of the Bhagavad Gita since 1785, poet and scholar Jeffrey Armstrong’s The Bhagavad Gita Comes Alive: A Radical Translation is the first version to decolonize the language and bring this monumental text back to its Sanskrit roots and its deep spiritual intent.
