Title: At last, a step toward understanding

For many years I had wanted to read the Bhagavad Gita for myself and find the Krishna so many others had spoken of. Unfortunately, all the other versions I tried were either heavily opinionated so as to support only the author's point of view and presented Krishna as a myth. With Bhagavad Gita As It Is I have found a resource for understanding the work itself as it was intended to be understood. The book includes with every passage in Sanskit Devanagari, the same passage translated word for word in English, and then a transliteration followed by a very detailed meaning and context of the passage. The detail put into this book truly lives up to its reputation as a perfect handbook for western students seeking to understand Krishna as the perfect personality of Godhead. Because of the word for word translation, my Sanskrit has also grown in understanding and vocabulary. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Hare Krsna!
