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.

This spiritual transformation can be briefly described as turning away from the world towards God. It consists of four parts: 1. Self-awareness, 2. Knowledge of God, 3. Understanding the world as it truly is, and 4. Understanding the afterlife as it truly is.
The Lord has served "Divine knowledge" through His compassion, and the Lord, in the form of the soul, is ringing celestial music in every person's heart. So, look for the Lord in every person's heart.
