In a few weeks I will be heading back out to the Appalachian Trail and would like to bring a copy of the Bhagavad Gita.
However, my current edition (the Eknath Easwaran translation) is kind of a brick.
Does anyone know of a good lightweight alternative?
The Swami Prabhavananda and Christopher Isherwood translation is pretty lean.
I like the Eknath Easwaran translation, although I don't know many of the translations. I probably just like him. You don't mean his 3 volume commentary and translation The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living, do you? That would be a lot to carry. He does have a one volume translation without the commentary.
I have the 1-volume edition containing both commentary and translation, which I greatly enjoy. However, being a bit of a gram-weenie, I would prefer something a bit slimmer. Perhaps the Prabhavananda and Isherwood translation, as was mentioned above. Thanks for the recommendation, by the way, DrkShadow03
