About this Item

Paperback. The Bhagavad Gita has been on India's must-read list for an incredible 2500 years (at the very least), and with good reason. Secular, liberal, and unfailingly compassionate towards human frailty, the divine song is a call to war against the most powerful and dangerous enemy of all - the one that lives inside our heads. Pai's spirited, one-of-a-kind retelling of the epic conversation between Pandavaprince Arjuna and his mentor and friend Krishna is the best introduction to the Bhagavad Gita. Lucid, thought-provoking and brimming with fun trivia, this book will stay with you long after you have turned the last page. The Gita For Children is an accessible friend, philosopher and guide, designed to, reassure, empower, and provide direction to young readers in an increasingly chaotic and morally topsy-turvy world. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

The truth is, Partha, ' Krishna said, 'that there is no "better" path. Both paths - the path of knowledge and the path of action - work just as well. It is up to you to pick the one that you are suited to' The Bhagavad Gita is a profound book from India that people have cherished for over 2500 years. It emphasises kindness and understanding when we make mistakes, and tells a compelling story about Prince Arjuna and his friend Krishna. They engage in a crucial conversation about the war against the most powerful and dangerous enemy of all - the one that lives within our minds. Roopa Pai's spirited, one-of-a-kind retelling is engaging, easy to grasp, and leaves a lasting impact. After you finish reading, you'll find yourself contemplating its wisdom and feeling a sense of inner strength.
