Bhagavad-gitā is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Sri Krsna, the Supreme 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 Prabhupāda, 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 Gitä, his edition conveys Lord Krsna's profound message as it is without the slightest taint of adulteration or personally motivated change.
