Gita Sutras weave the cloth of our life into a beautiful embroidery, a masterpiece, a master’s piece. In this book, Gita Sutras, eighteen chapters of the original Bhagavad Gita are presented as visual experiences of visitng a circus, a theatre, a stock exchange. With things that we relate visually, the secrets of reality are disclosed so that this wisdom is easy to remember and simple to apply. Wish you a happy reading, reflecting & reaping this treasure! -
