The Bhagavadgita is the most popular text of Hinduism, with a notable influence both in the Indian tradition and in the modern world. It is a perfect book, which, in just 700 verses, opens the way to a new spirituality. The great contribution of the Gita is to facilitate the liberation from desire without having to renounce the world, in a synthesis of the path of knowledge and action, exemplified in the figure of the karma yogi: at the same time an ascetic devoted to meditation, a man of action involved in the worldly plot and a devotee who dedicates his works to divinity.

This edition offers a faithful translation of the Bhagavadgita to the non-specialist reader; a fluid translation that does not deviate from the original and at the same time does justice to the Spanish language. In addition, this version provides a tool for readers to compare translations with the Sanskrit original by including the original text with a gloss or literal word-for-word translation.
