Title: Sri Ramakrishna in Commentary
Review: This translation is popular with Sanskrit students because it includes Devanagri text, transliterated Sanskrit, breakdown of compound words, word-by-word meanings, and English translation. But more important for the devotee, many verses have commentary that leads to sayings of Sri Ramakrishna. The commentary edifies, links the verses and gives the Gita a wonderful coherence. There is a color plate of Krishna and Arjuna in the chariot. This Gita originally came out in the Tamil language (South India) in 1951 and in English in 1965.The translator Swami Chidbhavananda (1898- 1985) was a monk of the Ramakrishna Order and disciple of Swami Shivananda. The point of view is advaita that Brahman or Reality is One without the second. Although the book is 1007 pages and heavy to hold, it is an obvious purchase for Sanskrit students and devotees of Sri Ramakrishna. The detailed, generous commentary uplifts and edifies. This book is also available from Vedanta Press.
