Reddit mentions of The Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation

Thank you for your query. I also posted this in Hinduism. The advice there and in this sub was very diverse and didn't reach a consensus, so unfortunately it was not super helpful in my opinion. (But hey, the Gita's an ancient religious text, so I guess that comes with the territory.)

I own three translations, currently:

1. Old paperback of the Prabhavananda-Isherwood translation I found for $1 (!), which includes an introduction by Adolus Huxley of "Brave New World" fame.
   
   
2. New translation by Gavin Flood and Charles Martin. I just bought it yesterday. I was interested in this one because when I asked my Hinduism professor to recommend a short single-volume overview of the religion, she pointed me to Flood's "An Introduction to Hinduism." I enjoyed that book so I feel that I can trust his scholarship in this translation.
   
   
3. The ubiquitous ISKON translation which I picked up for free from some ISKON devotees on the street. I'm honestly a little suspicious of this one because of its strong sectarian origins. But I think the commentary might be helpful if I want to understand how Krishna devotees read the Gita.
   
   I'm also interested in the Easwaran translation because I've heard that is a classic (and the paperback is really nice-looking, always a perk...) But honestly my eyes are bigger than my stomach when it comes to books so I think I'll just try to get through something I already own rather than scrambling to collect a bunch of different Gitas that I'll never read. Overall, I'm satisfied with my choices because they cover a good range of old, new, and popular.
