This book is an effort to make available the Bhagavad Gita as a story/song the way it is said i.e., not deviating from the original text and just translating the words of shlokas to make sentences. While working on this book, personally enjoyed a lot and need to make an honest confession – Have fallen in love with Bhagavad Gita all over again. It is easier than most people think and is made available as a story for a larger audience to reverberate with these precious teachings!

Before you get into reading this book, let us look at the need identified through our interaction with more than 1000 people on The Bhagavad Gita.
Our research says, “87% of households in India have a copy of the Bhagavad Gita but very few people (less than 25%) have read it and less than 2% implement it in their lives!”
While almost all the respondents have accepted Bhagavad Gita as a most potential scripture and our gift to the world, why then only 2% of people are able to implement the learning rather practice the teachings?
The primary reasons identified are as under:
1. The original version of Bhagavad Gita is in Sanskrit.
2. Translations which are available are written from the writer’s perspective and may not necessarily reverberate with the reader.
3. Complex commentaries and illustrations not making an easy read for common people.
4. While each shloka is immensely profound, the pleasure of reading it as the “Song of God” gets diminished.
