Review — Bhagavad Gita: A New Translation by Stephen Mitchell

The difference is subtle but significant: Mitchell shortens the syntax, avoids the passive voice (“let … be”), and creates a rhythmic parallel between clauses. The result is more memorizable and meditative. Throughout the text, he breaks the Gita’s 700 verses into free-verse stanzas, adding line breaks for breath and emphasis. This makes the Gita feel like a poem to be recited, not just a treatise to be studied.

The Eternal Self:

The text emphasizes that while the physical body is temporary, the inner soul ( Atman ) is eternal and indestructible. bhagavad gita a new translation by stephen mitchell pdf
