About this listen
The Bhagavad Gita, "The Song of the Lord", is the best known of all the Indian scriptures, and Easwaran's reliable and accessible version has consistently been the best-selling translation. Easwaran's introduction places the Gita in its historical setting and brings out the universality and timelessness of its teachings. Chapter introductions give clear explanations of key concepts in that chapter. To listen to the scripture without the introductions, listeners should start at track 044. The Bhagavad Gita opens dramatically on a battlefield, as the warrior Arjuna turns in anguish to his spiritual guide, Sri Krishna, for answers to the fundamental questions of life. But as Easwaran points out, the Gita is not what it seems - it's not a dialogue between two mythical figures at the dawn of Indian history. "The battlefield is a perfect backdrop, but the Gita's subject is the war within, the struggle for self-mastery that every human being must wage" to live a life that is meaningful, fulfilling, and worthwhile. This audio recording is a complete and unabridged reading of Eknath Easwaran's book The Bhagavad Gita.
Narrated by Paul Bazely, an actor of Indian heritage and a longtime student of Easwaran. Music by Yann Stoneman.

In the Upanishads, illumined sages share flashes of insight, the results of their investigation into consciousness itself. In extraordinary visions, they experience directly a transcendent Reality which is the essence, or Self, of each created being. They teach that each of us, each Self, is eternal, deathless, one with the power that created the universe.

Critic Reviews
"For all of its profundity, Eknath Easwaran manages to translate the Gita in easy prose that neither panders nor obscures. Coupled with his thorough introduction, Easwaran’s version comes off on all the levels it should: as a guide to action, devotional scripture, a philosophical text, and inspirational reading." (Amazon.com Eastern Religion editor)

Glorious wisdom beautifully expressed
A very easy listen despite the book carrying some of the highest wisdom we can access as a human being. The narrator does a seriously good job - he brings the whole thing alive. Glad to have picked this version.

Must read for everyone who wants stability and complete composer of mind
I am not a religious person but if you believe in spirituality and wants to understand the very purpose of one’s being, Bhagwat gita is the most valuable contribution to the human kind. So guys, go for it, you won’t be disappointed :)

Erudite commentary and translation of Gita.
Narrator is good to listen to when it's only in English. The sanskrit phrases are pronounced incorrectly. sometimes it loses meaning.
However, it is one of the best commentary and translation, I have heard in long time. I would recommend to anyone interested in understanding Bhagwadgita better.

I liked the coverage of all chapters with authenticity. I didn't like the fact that the accent is not Indian.

practical and interesting
one of the most practical book for the mankind. Writer has given little devotional outlook, however Arjuna always questions Krishna about the authenticity of his claims until he sees his godly form
