Before the reader exclaims: Oh! no! not another book on the Gita, the author thought it best to assure him that this one is totally different from the genre of numerous commentaries on the subject. The Gita is probably the most widely read scripture in India. People turn to it seeking spiritual solace. The Gita teaches us how to look beyond ourselves, how to place total faith in God and how to combine the temporal with the spiritual. We learn from it how to maintain our equanimity in the midst of turbulence of life, how not to be unduly swayed by its momentary ups and downs. This is what the Gita is really about. In this book we have tried to convey the eternal message of the Gita through a series of short articles each based on two/ three of its stanzas. We are sure that the reader will find much in this book which would be helpful to him as he grapples with the challenges of daily life. It is our sincere hope that the articles of the book will open a way for the reader to lead a balanced life with equanimity combining material success with spiritual gains.
