The Bhagavad Gita, translated and commentated by S. Radhakrishnan, is one of the most scholarly and accessible English renderings of Hinduism's most beloved scripture — the dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Radhakrishnan, philosopher and statesman, brings both rigorous intellectual insight and genuine spiritual depth to his translation and notes. This edition is treasured for its ability to illuminate the Gita's universal spiritual teaching across cultural and philosophical boundaries.

Same theme, different voices
One whose mind is undisturbed in sorrow, who feels no longing for pleasure, who is free from passion, fear, and anger — such a sage is called a person of stable wisdom.
The mind does not become tranquil until it is connected to the ever-peaceful Supreme Being.
Seek the treasure of a peaceful mind and store it in the treasure of ease. All the wealth of your lands and seas is not worth a loyal heart and a tranquil mind.
