O King, as I recall again and again this sacred and wondrous dialogue between Keshava and Arjuna, I am filled with joy again and again.

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

If someone truly lives in God's will, they find joy in all pain and simplicity in all complexity; even the torments of hell would be a joy to them.

Contentment brings us joy and happiness, while dissatisfaction leads to disaster.

And then there are those who give with joy, and that joy itself is their reward.
