Stephen Mitchell’s “Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation” is a slim, luminous rendering of one of world literature’s greatest spiritual dialogues. Mitchell approaches the text not as an academic commentary but as a poet-translator aiming to make the Gita speak clearly and immediately to a modern reader. The result is a version that feels less like a relic and more like a living conversation.
