The Bhagavad-gita is a time-honored guidebook for conscious living. Its profound wisdom has guided millions for millennia. Even today, millions all over the world draw from the Gita's insights to make their life more meaningful and joyful.

Mindfulness is essential if we want to focus and do anything worthwhile. And it's required not just for doing but also for being. The more we become aware of our emotions and our situations, the more we can understand the depths of our inner world and the richness of reality at large.

The Gita is an invaluable guide for mindful living. It offers penetrating insights into the workings of the mind and powerful practices to make the mind work for us instead of against us. Not only that, it provides an inspiring worldview within which our experiences and our existence acquire sublime meaning and purpose.

This book offers edited versions of some of the most-read articles from those daily reflections. These reflections provide an applicational, inspirational, motivational study of the Gita. This book is meant not as a replacement for commentaries that offer a systematic explanation of the Gita, but as a complement to those commentaries. Each of these articles can serve as a tool for reorientation and re-spiritualization. Every article is stand-alone; feel free to read any article that catches your attention. To make the content of the article more understandable and recollectable, I have provided titles that are full sentences. The title can help you churn the message throughout the day and longer.
