The Bhagavadgita

The Bhagavadgita presents S. Radhakrishnan’s distinguished interpretation of one of the foundational scriptures of Indian philosophy. Set within the Mahabharata, the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna examines duty, moral conflict, spiritual knowledge, disciplined action, devotion and the search for liberation.

This comprehensive edition contains an introductory philosophical essay, the original Sanskrit text, an English translation and extensive explanatory notes. Radhakrishnan draws upon India’s major philosophical and religious traditions to illuminate the Gita’s central teachings while also considering their enduring relevance to human conduct and spiritual life.

Renowned as a philosopher, educator and former President of India, Radhakrishnan was one of the foremost modern interpreters of Indian thought. His translation and commentary, dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi, remain especially valuable to readers seeking a thoughtful, scholarly and accessible study of the Bhagavadgita.
