Thank you Hari Chetan for your incredible 4 book serie of the Bhagavad Gita. I passed the book on to my friendly neighbours and friends. So may they all find the benefit of the Bhagavad Gita teachings in their lives. Your books will definitely help every human being with understanding who they really are, it depends all on the state of our mind.May a lot of people benefit of your books. I recommend reading the Bhagavad Gita daily as the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita should become the main focus of your daily life.

Well, at least it was free.
This book does a great disservice to the wisdom and eloquence found within the Gita.Much of this book's contents appeared to be the author's own opinions, rather than a reflection of unbiased scriptural truth.I would also like to echo another reviewer's dismay about the writer insisting that Krishna is the one true God. Vedic dharma and it's many Gods, Godesses, and philosophies is a beautiful example of religious pluralism, so promoting Krishna to "the boss" and casting off other deities as mere underlings flies in the face of generations of Shaivite, Shakta, Smarta, and even fellow Vaishnavite traditions.In addition, just when you think the author might be starting to make a point, it merely results in an upsell to his other books.If you're looking for a book that helps elucidate the wisdom of the Gita, I would strongly recommend Eknath Easwaran's translation.

Interesting intro
Lots of description but little 'prescription' on how to... perhaps in following books. Have the series so hope to gain more insight as I go.

Thank you 😊 It was very captivating and insightful. One of my favourite line was "It logically regards ego as another big impediment to spirituality, because a self-centered person can never embrace God's authority."

Divine moments of truth!
This is one of the real books one should definitely keep in their life with them. It is the way of life is what actually have been briefly and precisely described in a very enlightening way. Such an amazing book a human can get in this racing world. Let’s all seek, learn and grow. I highly recommend if anyone wants to get their hearts and would clean.

Terrible
Badly written, poorly argued.Does not fulfill the claims on the cover. Of the fifteen or so supposed reasons that the Gita is the most scientific philosophy, only one of the reasons deals with this question. Others are unrelated. For example, one of the reasons is that it is the oldest philosophy. That does not make it the most scientific.Something about this book that shocked me was the writers insistence on refering to god in the masculine, and deriding the feminine deities as lesser Demigods, worshipped by those that don't understand Hindu faith and have much lesser goals in life. I found this to be massively disrespectful of both women and Shaktism.The author writes that Sanatan Dharma came from the Vedas. Unlike the author, I don't claim to be "an expert on all of the world's religions (!)", But I am pretty sure that it is in fact the other way around with the Vedas growing out of Sanatan Dharma. After all, how can the infinite, original and timeless truth grow out of a book written in a certain time and place by a specific race and culture. This is the kind of argument that supports The himdutva paradigm with its arrogance and sense of racial and political superiority, especially in the Indian subcontinent, fostering at best a tolerance for practitioners of other faiths. Surely Sanatan Dharma, if it is truly what it says it is, is the heart of all religion, beyond time and space?I would buy these books if you're a right wing hindutva nationalist looking for poorly argued reasons why your race is superior and how this book is so much more relevant than other religious books.Only a hundred or so pages and I'm struggling to get through the second half.Does the Hindu tradition massive disservice (along well the other faiths the writers supposedly mastered - see blurb etc). I'd urge you to stick to Eknath Easeran version instead. Written with much more poetry, wisdom and humility.I am happy to give one star for the author having given me the option to continue on to his further books and further deplete my brain cells.
