This book is a copy of “The Song of God: Bhagavad-Gita,” translated by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood, with an introduction by Aldous Huxley. It’s part of the “Mentor Religious Classics” series.

The Bhagavad Gita, often referred to simply as the Gita, is a 700-verse Hindu scripture that is part of the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. It is a spiritual and philosophical dialogue between Prince Arjuna and the god Krishna, who serves as his charioteer. The Gita addresses the moral and spiritual dilemmas faced by Arjuna as he prepares to go into battle, and it elaborates on concepts such as duty (dharma), selfless action (karma yoga), devotion (bhakti yoga), and the eternal soul (atman).

This particular translation by Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood is well-known for its readability and its effort to capture the spiritual essence of the text rather than a strict word-for-word translation. Aldous Huxley’s introduction provides a context for the Western reader and delves into the significance of the Gita’s teachings.
