English translation by Arthur Osborne and G. V. Kulkarni. The contents of this book first published serially in The Mountain Path the quarterly journal of Sri Ramanasramam from April 1965 to October 1969. They were later published in book form by the ashram in June 1973. In this second edition the Sanskrit text and an English transliteration have been included with the English translation. There are also two new appendices. The first is the Gita Saram the 42 verses chosen by Bhagavan which reveal the essence of the Gita. The second is a facsimile of the typed pages of Alan Chadwick's translation of the Gita Saram together with Bhagavan's handwritten corrections. Bhagavan would quote and comment on the Bhagavad Gita when speaking to devotees. For spiritual seekers the present English translation is a wonderful resource Publisher: Sri Ramanasramam
