At the heart of one of humanity's oldest and most revered spiritual texts stands a moment of profound crisis — a warrior prince named Arjuna, frozen on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, confronted by his own kin on the opposing side, and the Supreme Lord Krishna who serves as his charioteer and divine guide. Bhagavad-gita As It Is presents the complete, unabridged Sanskrit text of this ancient masterwork alongside transliterations, word-for-word translations, and authoritative purports, offering Western and Eastern readers alike direct, unmediated access to one of the world's greatest philosophical and spiritual dialogues. Through eighteen chapters of timeless verse, Krishna instructs Arjuna — and by extension all of humanity — on the eternal nature of the soul, the disciplines of devotion, knowledge, and selfless action, and the ultimate path to liberation from the cycle of birth and death. What distinguishes this translation from the vast field of Bhagavad-gita editions is Prabhupada's unflinching commitment to presenting the text without personal speculation or academic dilution, grounding every verse in the Vaishnava tradition's lineage of devotional understanding. His purports are richly detailed, drawing on centuries of scriptural commentary to illuminate the deeper theological dimensions of Krishna consciousness, making this volume an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners, and seekers alike. Recognised globally as the definitive English-language edition of the Gita, this work has shaped the spiritual journeys of millions across cultures and continents — and its final verses leave the reader with a question that echoes long after the book is closed: what will *you* choose?
