Acharya Prashant advises readers to avoid the commentary sections of the Bhagavad Gita, as this is where the most significant adulteration and personal agendas of commentators occur. He suggests limiting oneself to translations where each word is accurately rendered into one's preferred language. He emphasizes that the Gita must always be in sync with the basic tenets of Vedanta and the Upanishads. Any interpretation that contradicts Vedantic philosophy should be immediately rejected, as many distorted ideologies have exploited the Gita's popularity to validate their own ignorant philosophies. He points out that some highly publicized versions of the Gita show a lack of respect for Shri Krishna by deliberately changing the meanings of words, such as translating intellect as devotion to suit a specific ideology. To ensure a correct understanding, one should use the four Great Sayings or core Vedantic verses as axiomatic benchmarks. If an interpretation contradicts these verses, it is false. He recommends reliable sources such as the versions by Adi Shankaracharya, Ramakrishna Mission, Gita Press, and Chinmaya Mission, while cautioning against others. He also mentions his own verse-by-verse course and books as resources aligned with the spirit of Vedanta.
