From Library Journal
More valuable for both casual readers and scholars is Bhagavad Gita: Annotated & Explained, which clarifies the text for Western readers unfamiliar with Indian culture and terminology. Swami, an Indian monk, and Burroughs, an American religion scholar, allow the Gita to stand in its own historical and cultural context in a logical organization: a translation of the Gita sits on the right-hand page with corresponding notes on the left. Including an annotated bibliography of other translations and commentaries on the Gita accessible to Western readers, this guide is recommended for both academic and public libraries. James F.
