I have been attending an in depth series of lectures on the entire Bhagavad Gita from 2004 to Oct 2009. I wanted something that would bring to mind the essence of each verse in such a way that I would be able to relate to it immediately. I did not want something written in complicated language where I would have tease out the meaning, or ponder over it to understand it. Jack Hawley's Gita does this to perfection. I love to read excerpts before going to bed. I also love to read a few verses before I sit down to meditate to set the tone for my meditation. I cannot write down how much I love this version of the Gita. It brings tears to my eyes. Very simply and beautifully written, and at the same time not a jot of the meaning is lost.
