B. Vedanta

If there were a Universal Religion, the BHAGAVADGITA would be its Gospel. The Root Ideas of the great world religions are there.

Of the extremely numerous editions and translations we feel we can advise, to start with, The Bhagavadgîtâ, Text and translation, with Commentary in the Words of Shri Aurobindo, Shri Aurobindo Divine Life Trust, 2000.

Then The Bhagavadgîtâ, Introduction, Sanskrit Text and Translation by S. Radhakrishnan, Allen & Unwin, London.
