In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 1 Krishna and Arjuna observe the Armies on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra. When the battle is about to begin, Arjuna sees his intimate relatives, teachers and friends in both armies ready to fight. Overcome by grief and pity, he fails in strength, his mind becomes bewildered, and he decides not to fight.

His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. This edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message.
