SBG (Super Bhagavad Gita)
I arrived to this version of the Bhagavad Gita after listening to many other audiobooks of the book. Without doubt this version provides the deepest understanding of the Bhagavad Gita. Good sound quality of the recording done by the author, who obviously is passionate about the book.
Highly recommended.

A lot of ancient wisdom but a bit laborious.
I can see where the roots of Buddhism have come from in the Gita. This is an incredible text, well read and beautifully translated.
Like many Eastern texts though there can be lots of lists of very wordy concepts which tend to over-egg the pudding. It could be even more concise in my opinion.

Not great
If this book wasn’t for you, who do you think might enjoy it more?
Way too casual and chatty. Too dumbed down, rambling and almost patronising. Seemed to be made up as he went along in parts. I'm sure there are more succinct and engaging audible commentaries on the Gita out there. I gave up after less than 20 minutes.

I loved the narration.
I will return to this time and again as there is so much to absorb. Each time something new can be learnt. Very profound lessons for incorporating into your own living!

The Best Bhagavad-Gita translation
The Best Bhagavad-Gita translation
Jack has produced a superb translation that is easy to understand and comprehend. he doesn't use fancy terminology, only plain English to explain these great spiritual truths.
Jack's voice is also warm and kind as he reads his own book. Recommended 5*

My thoughts
narrator was fantastic, feeling and presence in his voice. This is very sacred and natural teachings , think it would affect anyone who read it, even just to try to live this way, it makes so much sense.
