One who acts for my sake, who holds me as supreme, who is devoted to me, free from attachment, and bearing no enmity toward any being — that person comes to me, O son of Pandu.

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
The yogi who, having attained unity, worships me dwelling in all beings, remains in me, regardless of his way of life.
Devotion does not mean running away from your duties; instead, fulfilling your responsibilities is true devotion.
Your daily life is your place of worship, and your religion is how you live it. Bring your entire being into every moment.
When the soul finds itself loving God, and at the same time is conscious of love, humility, and reverence, it's a sign that the Holy Spirit is working within it. Whenever the Holy Spirit grants favors, He does so with humility and reverence.
Pilgrimages, austerities, charities, and acts of compassion are all commendable devotional practices, but only if they allow one to gain even a small amount of honor in the Lord's court.
