Text of the review:
"Bhagavad Gita in English
"THE 'Bhagavad Gita' is of great interest to the people from time immemorial. And to bring the philosophical moorings of this holy text more close to the people, English scholar Prof Kev Nair has translated the Gita from Sanskrit to English.
"The translation titled "The Bhagavad Gita of Inner Courage" was formally released here the other day after Prof. Kev Nair handed over a copy of the book to Rajiv Vasudevan, former chief executive officer of the Technopark.
"The 3,857-line poem in 700 stanzas contain the translation of all the 700 stanzas of the Gita to easy-to-read and easy-to-understand English verse. The book has been annotated profusely with verse notes and footnotes and has been cross-referenced thoroughly. It also contains an elaborate introduction, summarising the central teachings of the Gita.
"The book aims to bring out the singleness of focus of the Gita by underlining the fact that the whole focus of the Gita is to teach the mankind the lesson of inner courage.
"The publishers, Adult Faculties Council, has hosted an exclusive website "www.justwakeup.com". The buyers can buy not only the print edition but also the web edition. The e-book version can be read on a computer as well as on a cellphone. The book which costs Rs 395 has 307 pages."

"There is nothing archaic about this version of the Bhagawad-Gita... The words used are simple so that everybody can understand the contents... It is easy on the reader and does not put you off... For the message to be clear while making the language as simple as possible, Nair slogged for years, rewriting and discarding many versions..."
