    I've read many Gita translations by different authors. Although I understood the philosophy to some extent, I did not find any practical suggestions applicable in today's world.
    Currently, I'm going with a promising commentary by Swami B. G. Narasingha that suits our modern world. You can get a copy here: Srimad Bhagavad Gita

    Namaste....

    If someone really wants to know the truth, you should read the first commentary on Gita, which is none other than great vaishnawa Adi Shankara's Bhagavad Gita Bhasya. He will take you deep in self and in the abstract Consiousness free from duality and even from non-duality. Indeed Brahman is beyond duality and duality between duality and non-duality.

    There's another great commentary on Bhagavad Gita. It's of 12th century Maharashtrian Vaishnava, Sant Dnyaneshwar, who was a incarnation of vishnu himself and who wrote the Gita Bhasya at the age of 16.

    With regards to the Gita,

    I first read it in my first read through of K.M. Ganguli's english translation of the mahabharata. If you go to sacred-texts.com that translation being the public domain is readily available, however there will be no commentary to speak of.

    In addition, the Mahabharata transcreation done by P. Lal is in my humble opinion second to none in Mahabharata scholarship and translation efforts (having the adi parva translated by him), he has also written the gita as a single work, so I would also recommend looking into P. Lal

    Although the work is at times ponderous and tedious, I do highly recommend reading an unabridged mahabharata, 6000 pages of insight, and it will give the Gita a stronger emotional impact, putting you more firmly in the context and what has caused Arjuna's emotional turmoil

    Namaste
