Teachings of Bhagavad Gita - Relevance to Modern Era

This book is an attempt to discuss the duty centric approach in Bhagavad-Gita. While giving emphasis on the subjective or personal value of action, Upanisadic teachings do not ignore the objective aspect of ethics which deals with social welfare. Bhagavad-Gita guides us to have control over the lust, desire, ego,anger, attachment, which are the impediments or obstacles in the path towards self-realisation.

Dear Readers, how would one describe the age and the world that we inhabitate today? For some its and information explosion. For others it's an era of exploration and achievements. More, more and more? It's a true rat race. I often wonder that in the pursuit of material gains, we have beaten even a rat and rabbits. We don't wish to stop, and continue to chase our ever widening, far set objectives. They give us wealth, do they give us Peace? They give us abundance, do they give us tranquillity? They give us enjoyment, do they give us solace? The answers are negative, because the real answers lie in our own, ancient Bahgavad Gita. The truth that unfurled on the battlefields of Kurukshtera is the real nectar of life and human existence. Dr. Manali Londhe in her scholarly treatise has brought out the conscience of divine reality to our day to day existence and this effort of hers is truly commen-dable.
