Shreemad Bhagavad Geetaa

This book unlocks the treasure chest of Vedic wisdom expounded in Bhagavad Geet¿ and presents its 'essence' as a simple translation with explanation of each shloka and an easy-to-read summary of each adhy¿ya. The unique features of this book are: QR code links to shloka chanting for ease of pronunciation; brief summaries of Ved¿nta, Tattvabodha and Karma-Karmaphala principles to strengthen the reader's foundation. This book aims to highlight the inherent message of the art of 'self-management' while navigating our 'action' oriented lives and connect with our inner-self. The time to understand Geet¿ is 'Now', as we can reap its benefits in this life. In the words of Gurum¿, Geet¿ teaches humanity the 'technique of joyful living' by preparing our mind to be calm amidst the dual experiences of everyday life. It descriptively covers various topics to enable each of us to select our own path to success.

¿¿Pujya Gurum¿ Sam¿nanda Saraswati is a distinguished Ved¿nta ¿ch¿rya devoted to making a difference in the lives of people. A founder of Samadarshan ¿shram, Gandhinagar and Rev¿ ¿shram, Gurum¿ exemplifies the wisdom of Geet¿ and Ved¿ntic sh¿stra by her teachings and daily life. What touches her students is the depth of her knowledge, utter simplicity of explanation along with heartfelt oneness and peace.

A Surgical Gastroenterologist by profession, Dr. Sanjiv grew up in a family with spiritual roots. His childhood inclination to understand the timeless wisdom of sh¿stra led him to Gurum¿ in 2008. Since then, he and his wife Dr. Neebha have been regularly imbibing the knowledge of Ved¿nta sh¿stra and Geet¿. From 2020, Sanjiv devoted to revising and contemplating on Gurum¿'s Geet¿ discourses and started sharing this knowledge in a simple audio-visual summary translated into English shared on his YouTube channel: @sharibhakti. This effort culminated in this book for beginners.
