The Bhagavad-gītā is the greatest of India's ancient spiritual classics. Śrīla Prabhupāda, the Founder-Acārya of the International Society for Krishna Conscousness, originally translated the Bhagavad-gita in 1967, providing each verse with an illuminating commentary. Having only recently come to the West, he was unable to print the book at that time. Therefore, the introduction which he had written for the Bhagavad-gītā was printed first as a separate pamphlet. This booklet is a reprint of that introduction. The reader will find in it a through exposition of the philosophy of the Bhagavad-gītā in a clear and straightforward manner. This introduction is important for those who are approaching the Bhagavad-gitä for the first time. Unlike other presentations and translations, Śrīla Prabhupāda presents the Bhagavad- gītā as it is, free from personal speculations and interpretations. He focuses our attention on what Kṛṣṇa is actually teaching in the Gītā. For all these reasons we are sure you will find this introduction to the Bhagavad-gītā to be enlightening and conducive to personal transformation.
