"The 'Bhagavad-gītā' is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Śri Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personaligy of Godhead, to His intimate devotee Arjuna, the Gītā's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self-realization. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, the formost Vedic scholar and teacher of recent times, represents an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters beginning with Lord Kṛṣṇa Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gītā, his conveys Lord Kṛṣṇa's profound message as it is -- without the slightest taint of adulteration or personally motivated change." --
