₹795.00
‘Writing on the Gita has been a learning experience. Why Gita, was the first question that came to my mind when I embarked on this spiritual odyssey. Gita, already so well known, so well understood, and so much written about and by so many. My discussions, with many an intellectual and spiritual mind, were revelatory. What emerged was that the Gita though appears simple in its verses initially, but the simplicity yields to complexity beyond the opening chapters. It thus became my mission to learn and present the Gita in a simpler manner and share my level of knowledge or lack of it with one and all’.
– The Author

This book has been written in a precise and concise manner making it easy to read. Anyone who is interested in a practical guide to living well should definitely read this book.’
