THE MOST WIDELY READ EDITION OF GÏTÄ IN THE WORLD // Bhagavad-gïtä is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Srï Krsna, the Suprème Personality of Godhead, to His intimate devotee Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self-realization. Indeed, no work even compares in its revelations of man's essential nature, his environment and, ultimately, his relationship with God. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (bottom right), the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, represents an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters beginning with Lord Krsna Himself. Thus unlike other editions of the Gita, his edition conveys Lord Krsna's profound message as it is ? without the slightest taint of adulteration or personally motivated change.
