This is not yet another translation, merely reiterating what the Gita itself has to say. It is rather an attempt to culturally translate the text, making use of concepts and categories to which Western readers are accustomed. By engaging familiar motifs--such as issues of modernity, pop-culture icons, and well-known philosophers in the West--the author brings the Gita into focus for non-specialists and scholars alike. Through a series of contemporary news references and insightful summaries, readers will finally understand the facts and personalities that make up the Bhagavad Gita. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing his many years of Gita-centered research, Rosen unlocks the mysteries of the text's spiritual underpinnings.
