LibriVox recording of Bhagavad Gita, translated by Sir Edwin Arnold.
The content of the text is a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna taking place on the battlefield of Kurukshetra just prior to the start of a climactic war. Responding to Arjuna's confusion and moral dilemma, Krishna explains to Arjuna his duties as a warrior and Prince and elaborates on a number of different Yogic and Vedantic philosophies, with examples and analogies. This has led to the Gita often being described as a concise guide to Hindu philosophy and also as a practical, self-contained guide to life. During the discourse, Krishna reveals his identity as the Supreme Being Himself (Bhagavan), blessing Arjuna with an awe-inspiring glimpse of His divine absolute form. (summary from wikipedia)

Strange Reading
I found this reading to be strange and literally impossible to listen to. I am happy that someone put the effort into making this audiobook, but like many other audio versions of this great book, there are inexplicably strange qualities to the reading. First, this is HEAVILY spliced. I got the impression that the regular reader wasn't reading the Sanskrit and other Indian names correctly, so someone edited them in a completely different voice for those names, plus what is worse, the names are said incorrectly. Krishna or "Kreeshna" is quite simple, but here is pronounced "Krooshna"- ridiculous!

I agree with the other reviewer
In my experience, librivox recordings are better when there is a single reader. In this case, there are a number of readers, some of which were difficult to understand.

Bhagavad Gita - Sir E. Arnold
Read by a veriety of readers with a veriety of accents. I found some of them to be hard to understand.
