description: This presentation of the Srimad-Bhagavad-Gita the universally known scriptural classic of Hindu literature embodies Swami Premananda's English translation of the Sanskrit text together with his own original parallel spiritual text. In the translation he adheres strictly and faithfully to the form and meaning of the original. The rhythm and dignity of the flow of the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna have been meticulously preserved throughout and the entire content has been retained intact. Many translations of this book have appeared in English during the last three-quarters of a century ranging from the superb poetical rendition of Sir Edwin Arnold and other scholarly presentations to a number of somewhat freer or paraphrased editions. Examination of the various texts serves to demonstrate the truly universal nature of this sublime scripture which makes it as applicable in the life of man today as it was thousands of years ago. In many commentaries upon the basic truths of this great book intimations are found of the mystic and esoteric meaning which permeates the whole of the ethical and philosophical discourse. But no author has ever before undertaken to present in any language the complete verse-by-verse spiritual text which clearly reveals its inner esoteric significance as has been done in the present work under the title The Revelation of the Supreme Self.
