A masterpiece of scriptural literature, this sacred song unfolds as a battlefield dialogue between Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa and His friend Arjuna. Kṛṣṇa, serving as Arjuna's advisor, imparts wisdom on self-realization, guiding him on how to live as a devotee while fulfilling earthly duties. This edition presents the teachings authentically, emphasizing the purpose of human life: to cultivate spiritual knowledge. It is meticulously indexed and cross-referenced, featuring forty-four stunning full-color illustrations that depict key events and exemplify Kṛṣṇa's teachings. The text includes original Sanskrit, Roman transliterations, English synonyms, translations, and commentary, making it the most complete and authoritative version available. Authored by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, a prominent teacher of Vedic thought and the founder of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, this edition remains true to the essence of Kṛṣṇa's message. Prabhupāda, a fully self-realized devotee, continues a lineage that began with Kṛṣṇa Himself. This classic reproduction, first published in 1972, enhances understanding through a fresh interpretation of a well-known text.
