Tatvayog Nightingale’S Bhagavad Gita – Signature Edition

I first saw this masterpiece in an airport and it was so stunning, that I had to return and go through a few pages. The Gita is a classic of Indian Literature, and at the heart of the ancient Indian epic, the Mahabharata. I do not wish to, no could I elucidate now, the true message of the Gita, This is about this physical book, not about the contents, though the message in it, is famous worldwide and quite sublime The Book is hardcover, made with exceedingly fine paper, each page, gilt edged. The pages are thick and embossed and each page contains one verse from the Gita, each verse is printed in three languages: Hindi, Sanskrit and in English. There is an explanation of each verse. Some pages are adorned with really lovely paintings of the scenes from the Mahabharata. The pages are a delight to touch, I never held a book that felt so good! The hard cover is exquisite and edged in metal, with 5 tastefully located Swarovski crystals adorning the pictures of a bow.. not tacky at all.. and they even provide spare crystals in case the originals fall off The white-covered hardcover book is exquisite in itself, yet they did not neglect the case, a hard, protective gilded red and black case, with a metal latch to protect the book. Then there is a hardwood stand to seat all of this, and this too, shows Nightingale's attention to detail, as it has a central chariot wheel design..and as the Gita is a discourse of right, wrong, and of duty and Karma, from Lord Krishna to Arjuna, while on his chariot, this touch is especially beautiful and significant. To top it all off, they have enclosed a laser cut, gold plated bookmark with Krishna's face on it I have never seen such a lovely and luxurious book. Perhaps it is too much, as the subject contained is the Gita, and the Gita asks you to not put much stock in the material world, that actions are not for the fruit of the actions, but I digress, it is a fantastic work of art, containing a very deep message Now, as to the cost: 899$ The cost seems quite high, but, when you consider that this is the price of a decent smartphone, one that would last for 2-3 years and then be recycled, while this book will be a treasure for generations..It seems very well worth the cost. If you are Hindu, or if you wish to gift a Hindu, this is a magnificent gift. If you follow another religion, the message in the book and the history of this message, still make the read worthwhile If you are atheistic/ agnostic, the message still has the same depth and power, but just buying it for the value as a work of art is more than adequately satisfying PS: It costs @500$ in India, though shipping would add quite a bit

This Bhagavad Gita was presented to my family by my older brother and my sister-in-law. No monetary value is too much to place on this exquisite treasure. It is priceless. I have read other reviews on the text and this particular book just purely and simply magnificent. Some of the fundamental teachings/depictions of this text have been embedded in me since my early childhood days, some verses committed to memory through an understanding of the true meaning of the words. When we received it a few days ago, a sense of completeness engulfed us and we were wrapped in a cloud of divine security. As we placed the text on a special stage in our main hallway, our being was captured by goosebumps that formed from the emotional joy that we all experienced. We welcome this sacred text to our home...

Visually stunning work of art, pictures do not do justice to the actual product. It's a must have for all those who enjoy reading Shree Bhagavad Gita. The book arrived quickly. It was carefully packaged and easy to assemble. I would recommend this seller highly.

What an exquisite item! I cried, I laughed. Definitely, the most precious and blessed thing I will ever own. Swarovski crystals adorn the covers, the pages are velvety soft, the writing is in most beautiful calligraphy, and much, much more.... Took a while to carefully cut through the fantastic packaging, the innermost layer being gift paper. Saw this in an airport shop in India and was so torn about purchasing or shipment. Package was too large for plane. But lo and behold! It was available on Amazon, though sadly, for a much higher price. Nonetheless, I did not care. Received today, 3 days after placing order. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

perfect

A work of art. Educational. Beautiful. I’ve been saving for four years to buy this for my nephew.

The quality of pages print and the paintings are simply superb. This is not easy to carry as it is very heavy. The book marker having peacock feather is made of metal, the edges are sharp so be careful while handling. Packing is very good the stand I sturdy enough and is perfect. Though expensive but it is worth.

Wonderful!!!

Very expensive
