[Advaita-l] Bhagavad Gita translation

[Ryan Armstrong]

नमस्ते पुनः
in keeping with the conversation, I must agree with Jaldhar ji.
Translating Sanskrit into English is like trying to fit the ocean into a
lake.
Or like listening to your favourite music with only the melody and none of
the harmonies and backing instruments.
Best go with the original.
