''Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is'' is a translation and commentary of the ''Bhagavad Gita'' by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, founder-acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON). It is known amongst other translations of the ''Bhagavad Gita'' for emphasizing the path of bhakti yoga above all others, in line with the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition of Caitanya Mahaprabhu. The book has been distributed primarily through promotion by the modern Hare Krishna movement. It was first published in 1968 by Macmillan Publishers, with an unabridged edition in 1972.〔Maheswar Neog (Professor Maheswar Neog Felicitation Volume ) (1990)〕〔Bhaktivedanta Swami, A. C. (1968).

An extensive commentary by Prabhupada is given throughout, based on various Gaudiya Vaishnava works, including: Ramanuja Bhasya (in Sanskrit); Sarartha-varsini-tika (Sanskrit) by Visvanatha Chakravarti Thakura; Gita-bhusana-tika (Sanskrit) by Baladeva Vidyabhushana; and Bhaktivinode Thakur's Bengali commentaries. Thus the book advocates the path of ''bhakti'' toward Krishna, who is seen as identical to Vishnu, in direct opposition to monistic interpretations. This has led to criticisms from a number of figures who disagree with Prabhupada's literal approach. ''Bhagavad-Gītā As It Is'' is written in the tradition of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, and the members of ISKCON consider the book authoritative and literally true (''mukhya-vrtti''). Like the majority of other Hindu traditions, Gaudiya Vaishnavism regards the ''Bhagavad Gita'' as the essence of the Vedic knowledge and the Upanishads. Some editions of the Gita come with prefaces by Allen Ginsberg and Thomas Merton. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bhagavad-Gītā as It Is」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
