What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

The commentary of Adi Sankara is the earliest extant commentary on the Bhagavad Gita. The text of the Gita as cited by him has come down to the centuries as the authentic text, and this commentary of his proved to be of seminal value ever since. Later commentators may differ from him on textual and even metaphysical interpretation, but the spiritual well being flowing into us on reading the Gita-Bhashya of Sankaracharya is universally acknowledged. One has only to read it to feel it. This book contains the original Sanskrit text of the Gita in Devanagari followed by its translation as also the translation of Sankara's Gita Bhashya by Alladi Mahadeva Sastri. The translation has stood the test of the time since its first publication in 1897, being the best available English translation of Sankaracharya's commentary. The learned translator has added in the form of foot-notes explanations mostly extracted from Anandagiri's Tika, which always is the clearest and most to the point and is almost indispensable for a proper understanding of some important portions of the Bhashya.
