ISKCON is a cult, beware the misleading Bhaktivedanta translation. Gita itself is a 5/5.

noahtato's review against another edition

I want to read a translation other than the Hare Krishna one. The book (at least the translation) was repetitive and ended up beating a lot of dead horses. That being said, there is some beautiful imagery in the lines of the text regarding the order of the universe and the nature of the Supreme or Absolute, not unlike the nondual neoplatonism of Plotinus or Boethius. I love many of the scientifically incorrect claims for their poetic value; I find anecdotal beauty in the idea of the moon being the source of delicious flavors in vegetables, for example.

My bro had this as requried reading up at Princeton and gave it to me to read. Beyond the lessons gleaned from this book, I also enjoyed the beautiful plates. I lost this book on a move while in college and haven't replaced it.
