It's an intentionally inaccurate and tainted translation meant to promote Prabhupada's particular sect.

In what way is it inaccurate?

There's your first mistake.

>Bhagavad-Gita

There's your second mistake. A pagan book that teaches erroneous, idolatrous teachings.

Learn Arabic and read the Qur'an instead, anon.

It's very biased towards A.C. Bhaktivedanta's theology which has Krishna as the only God, especially his commentary. It also has some weirds quirks like mentioning electricity and planetary systems which aren't concepts that existed in the era it was written.
