The most widely read edition of the Gītā in the Western world. The Bhagavad-gītā As It Is is universally renowned as the jewel of India’s spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Śrī Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, to His intimate devotee Arjuna, the Gītā’s seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self-realization. Indeed, no work even compares to the Gītā’s revelations of man’s essential nature, his environment and, ultimately, his relationship with God.
His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda, a world renown Vedic scholar and teacher, represents an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters beginning with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gītā, he conveys Lord Krishna’s profound message as it is–without the slightest taint of adulteration or personally motivated change. Replete with over two hundred full-color images, this digital Visual Interactive Bhagavad-gītā As It Is edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten any reader with its ancient yet thoroughly timely teachings.
Listen as Srila Prabhupada explains the five topics of the Bhagavad-gita As It Is and the mission of life.

"Bhagavad-gita is not a book on bhakti-yoga for a person only, individual.
No. It is meant for the whole mass of people, the whole human society, the
leader of the human society or the leader of the family. Everyone should
understand Bhagavad-gita very nicely and distribute the knowledge to his
subordinates. The father should know the purport of Bhagavad-gita and
distribute the knowledge to his sons, daughters, family members. Similarly,
the king or the president, he must also know Bhagavad-gita. Just like
vivasvan manave praha manur iksvakave 'bravit [Bg. 4.1]. It is not a subject
matter that I read it privately and keep it private. It is meant for
distribution to the human society." — From Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Bhagavad-gita 4.1 -- February 7, 1974,
