The Bhagavad Gita holds utmost importance in Hindu Mythology. During Mahabharata, Lord Krishna Recited Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna. The teachings, the meanings that the world needs to know.
Being a mythology lover I was excited to read this one and it took me a Lil longer than usual to finish this book. Some books make us feel Liberated, this is one such book.

As the title says, The teachings of Bhagavad Gita – Timeless wisdom for the modern age, Richatilokani432 Author Richa Tilokani beautifully explains the meaning of Shlokas, the basic concepts and teachings of Bhagavad Gita in a simpler way.

The conversation between Arjuna and Lord Krishna, how we must implement the tools and teachings in real life, the summary at the end of chapters, Richa tries her best to keep the concepts easier for readers to understand without losing the essence.

With simple language and a gripping writing style, Richa’s words are strong, raw and have depth, making the us think twice about our actions and discover ourselves. What I loved most is the detailed description. She left no stone unturned, in creating this masterpiece, giving readers the best reading experience.

It’s a well researched and well-detailed read with a quick summary, snippets of powerful tools in each chapter making it easier for readers to understand. The 18 chapters here are the 18 life-changing lessons for each one of us.

Richa explains about each Yoga, their importance in our lives and how we can evolve ourselves and be the better version of ourselves.

We must have heard a lot about the Bhagavad Gita from our parents, elders, have seen the TV shows as well but but, reading Bhagavad Gita has its own experience. My grandmother always says, in Bhagavad Gita, you will find all your answers. I had a healthy discussion with her while reading this book and thanks to Richatilokani432 that I could finally capture the essence of Bhagavad Gita.

If you love reading Mythology, here’s another book that I recommend. It’s has a practical approach along with the secrets of life we live. I got goosebumps when I read about Krishna’s avatar.
