Is the Bhagavad Gita merely a religious text, or the ultimate guide to life? On the battlefield of Kurukshetra, Arjuna asked only seventeen questions, yet through them, Lord Krishna presented the philosophy of the entire human existence. Duty, action, the mind, yoga, devotion, the soul, leadership, decision-making, death, and liberation-there is no aspect of life that the Gita has not touched upon. 'Gita Samvad: Arjuna’s 17 Questions and Krishna’s Timeless Answers' is not a traditional commentary on the Gita. It is an original presentation that explains the entire Gita based on Arjuna’s seventeen questions, interpreting them through simple, logical, philosophical, and modern lenses. For each question, the book incorporates the original Sanskrit verse, a simple explanation, philosophical analysis, the perspectives of eminent thinkers like Adi Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya, Madhvacharya, Swami Vivekananda, and Mahatma Gandhi, as well as insights from modern psychology, leadership, and management, alongside practical applications for daily life. This book is written not merely to read the Gita, but to live it. If you have ever asked yourself-'Who am I? What is my duty? How do I conquer the mind? How can success and peace coexist? What is the true purpose of life?'-then you may well find the answers in this book. For while the journey of the Gita begins with Arjuna, its ultimate destination is the heart of every inquisitive human being.
