Posted by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, this attractive version of the Gita is a premier example of the Gita as translated by a reputed scholar and religious leader in the Bhakti (i.e., devotional) tradition. The translation rises above the controversies associated with the Society as does this Website. The site offers the complete text of the Gita, including the original Sanskrit, a phonetic transliteration, an English translation, and the "purport" for each of the text's verses. Also available on-site are copies of the Brahma Samhita (i.e., "Hymns of Brahma") translations of devotional songs, and the eight instructional verses of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, a Hindi saint whom many worshippers regard as an avatar of Krishna himself. Thankfully, there is no appeal on-site for donations or new disciples.
