Book Reviews of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is
Book Review: "As it Is" A Galling Misnomer
Summary: 1 Stars
Due to the enthusiastic proselytization of the Hare Krishnas in past decades, this old tome by Bhaktivedanta a common find, and its claims to authority seem to be validated by its sheer mass. However, the actual text of the Gita is considerably obscured by the Swami's highly sectarian rendering and commentary. This safely removes the text itself from the reader's gaze, and in its place the Swami substitutes his own polemic theology. While no one benefits from this enterprise except the ISKCON coffers, the most shortchanged are those who accept this dumbed-down version of Bhakti-marga as the authoritative end-all and be-all of Yoga. In that respect, this translation and ISKCON are subverting the greater traditions of Moksha and Dharma.
