The author is a common house holder in a perfect sense with all usual shortcomings that afflict a mortal. The author might be well qualified with a doctorate in engineering but the qualification could only provide him with the necessary tools to live this life like any other being around him. With the only quality of having innate zeal to fathom into Bhagawaan’s messages in Bhagavad Gita but without much familiarity of Sanskrit language, the author has made an attempt to write this short book on this sublime subject. Is a language really a barrier for us? Definitely no, in this age of ever-growing intelligence. The sole intention of the author in writing this book is to recognize Paramaatma’s magnificence and grandeur via the superb compositions of great devotees, in particular, of our recent past who through their kirtanas, poems or bhajans worshipped HIM with ananya bhakti and tried to infuse the same in all beings around.

Bhagavad Gita, as many of us are aware, is a precious treasure-house of practical philosophy. It is our fortune to have in our midst many devotees – Pothana, Annamaya, Sant Tulsidas, Meerabai and many others – who, with ananya bhakti (exclusive devotion), relentlessly imparted the sublime truth embedded in Gita to the mankind whilst keeping their minds away from their sufferings in their personal lives. With the mind always riveted on Paramaatma, the creat
Bhagavad Gita, as many of us are aware, is a precious treasure-house of practical philosophy. It is our fortune to have in our midst many devotees – Pothana, Annamaya, Sant Tulsidas, Meerabai and many others – who, with ananya bhakti (exclusive devotion), relentlessly imparted the sublime truth embedded in Gita to the mankind whilst keeping their minds away from their sufferings in their personal lives. With the mind always riveted on Paramaatma, the creator of this beautiful world, it does not matter whether one stays in the forest as a hermit or live as a mere householder. This is the magnificent message contained in their scintillating as well as educative kirtanas / bhajans / songs. Listening to these divine compositions and understanding the deeper philosophical meanings implanted therein is indeed a precious tribute to these devout devotees. This aspiration underpins the essence of the narration in the book – a short one with the prime aim of enkindling the minds and souls of ignorant humans like the author.

The book is styled as a story-like narration, fusing two yugas – Treta and Dwapur yugas with an underlying theme of ‘Devotion and Divinity’. It is fashioned from an amusing thought in author’s mind that strongly urged him to fathom deep into the past and enjoy whatever it could grasp. Certainly, it worked and did find its own reflection in both the yugas. The result is profound! Hidden inside a vanara in Kishkindha, the mind could wander with devotion
The book is styled as a story-like narration, fusing two yugas – Treta and Dwapur yugas with an underlying theme of ‘Devotion and Divinity’. It is fashioned from an amusing thought in author’s mind that strongly urged him to fathom deep into the past and enjoy whatever it could grasp. Certainly, it worked and did find its own reflection in both the yugas. The result is profound! Hidden inside a vanara in Kishkindha, the mind could wander with devotion on Anjaneya. It could witness with bewilderment the unflinching faith of the mighty vanara towards the divine Sri Rama. In the form of a gopika, it could also cherish intimacy with the gopikas in Brindavan and relish their deep dedication and transcendental love towards the Divine Sri Krishna. Thus, behind this seemingly simple imaginative narration, the author subtly infuses sublime truths about the need to develop unegoistic and unselfish devotion on Divine Almighty to lead a purposeful life in this mortal world.
Do we know a truth – the secret of our lives? It is our mercurial mind that ties us to everything that we do or imagine to do. You try to control the mind and its deputies, the indriyas (sensory organs), and you attain success at any stage in this short life. A success, let us not measure in terms of a materialistic gain only. Bhagavad Gita was originally scripted in Sanskrit – the language you and I may not know – and it is a reservoir of divine truths.

Is a language really a barrier for us? No. Let us imagine ourselves to be on the vast shore of an ocean eagerly and hungrily picking up pebbles of knowledge to unravel the mystery of this life – particularly of our life in human form – through this Gita, the song of the unknown Creator of this beautiful world.
