A review by marcymurli
The Bhagavad Gita by Simon Brodbeck, Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa

4.0

This is the third time I've read this book, and each time I've read a different edition. I can't recall the differences among them, but I do like this one and feel that for the first time it resonated with me. Perhaps it's because I've read other similar texts in the past few years, including the Mahabharata, so I understand where this narrative fits into that. This edition is particularly nice because its introduction, essays, and footnotes enable readers to read the contextual matter that sheds light on the narrative and its overall meaning. It's quite a moving narrative, especially if taken in slowly, deliberately and reflected upon.
