Let us go through what scholars say about Holy Gita - 4

"No work in all Indian literature is more quoted, because none is better loved, in the West, than the
Bhagavad‐Gita. Translation of such a work demands not only knowledge of Sanskrit, but an inward
sympathy with the theme and a verbal artistry. For the poem is a symphony in which God is seen in
all things. . . . The Swami does a real service for students by investing the beloved Indian epic with
fresh meaning. Whatever our outlook may be, we should all be grateful for the labor that has lead to
this illuminating work."

Dr. Geddes MacGregor, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Philosophy University of Southern
California


"The Gita can be seen as the main literary support for the great religious civilization of India, the
oldest surviving culture in the world. The present translation and commentary is another
manifestation of the permanent living importance of the Gita."

Thomas Merton, Theologian


"I am most impressed with A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's scholarly and authoritative
edition of Bhagavad‐Gita. It is a most valuable work for the scholar as well as the layman and is of
great utility as a reference book as well as a textbook. I promptly recommend this edition to my
students. It is a beautifully done book."

Dr. Samuel D. Atkins Professor of Sanskrit, Princeton University


"As a successor in direct line from Caitanya, the author of Bhagavad‐Gita As It Is entitled, according
to Indian custom, to the majestic title of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
The great interest that his reading of the Bhagavad‐Gita holds for us is that it offers us an authorized
interpretation according to the principles of the Caitanya tradition."

Olivier Lacombe Professor of Sanskrit and Indology, Sorbonne University, Paris


"I have had the opportunity of examining several volumes published by the Bhaktivedanta Book
Trust and have found them to be of excellent quality and of great value for use in college classes on
Indian religions. This is particularly true of the BBT edition and translation of the Bhagavad‐Gita."

Dr. Frederick B. Underwood Professor of Religion, Columbia University
