Life Lessons from Gitaji on New Society deals with social life with special reference to Indian way of living in introspection and the future ahead to find ways to live in peace and harmony as its age old philosophy has pronounced. The detailed history, the origins of age-old philosophy of human classification for functioning of the society has been discussed to understand the fundamentals of Indian society since Vedic period. The purpose is to understand the age-old social values still imbibed in the contemporary Indian society, which has now undergone a sea of change due to changes in social, political and economic conditions.
The purpose of writing this book is to understand the undercurrent of present day’s social values so messed up in historical texts and contemporary social, political and economic conditions. The result of such phenomenon are visible through untouchability, casteism and communalism, which have cropped up due to misinterpretation of purity and hygiene (chuachut - untouchability), class system (varnashram) and equality of all religion (sarv dharm sambhaav).
We find that Indian society faces challenges that are unfolding in present times and Gitaji’s wisdom is most relevant to guide the society towards a futuristic environment with its holistic approach. We should ponder upon the challenges unfolding before the young generation and how to cope up with those and to build up a new society free from the malice of casteism, communalism and indisciplined democracy with our rich heritage and wisdom of Vedic scriptures in general and specifically the wisdom of Gitaji.

Two people are holding flute and blowing into it, one is producing some irritating sound and another is playing a sweet music out of his flute. What may be the difference in their efforts? Both are putting in their efforts but one is found useless and creating a noise whereas another one is producing a sound which is desirable and soothing to ears! One knows how to play music out of his flute and another one does not know; the difference in their efforts is the Skill.
We all remain in action throughout our life and perform actions with required skill for our livelihood and/or for pleasure like sports or music. Though all Chefs know how to cook but very few can make good and tasty food. Similarly this fact is also true about sports person that all athletes can play but all athletes cannot be champions. There is long and laborious process between a performer and a perfectionist. This process includes Knowledge of the job, Skill, Consistent and dedicated Practice which is as per efforts of the performer yet the devotion towards the Job is crucial to achieve the Perfection. The learning of skill regarding any job or profession has crucial factors which make the performance as perfect and worthy of glory.
Different people and sections of society, suiting to their own relevance and convenience, have interpreted the teachings of The Gita in different ways. Unfortunately, the most quoted teaching of Lord Krishna regarding karma (duty) and its phal (result) has been grossly misunderstood, i.e., “Do your duties without bothering about the result.” Though the message is very clear, still people think – “If the desired result is not in my hands then why should
Different people and sections of society, suiting to their own relevance and convenience, have interpreted the teachings of The Gita in different ways. Unfortunately, the most quoted teaching of Lord Krishna regarding karma (duty) and its phal (result) has been grossly misunderstood, i.e., “Do your duties without bothering about the result.” Though the message is very clear, still people think – “If the desired result is not in my hands then why should I put any efforts at all?”
The result of such misunderstanding has been catastrophic for society. Indians have become a confused lot, unable to decide what to do and when to do, resulting in an inactive, insensitive and directionless society. The masses have become dormant and unmindful of the state of affairs, as if everybody is a philosopher of his mind. We started denouncing materialism, and even few bandits and scoundrels expelled from their own land could come to kill and take over the throne to rule the country and devastate its glorious culture and opulence.
The author has been deliberating upon this dilemma to find out the logic and science behind the message of Bhagwan Krishna in The Gita. Everyone will agree that we have a right on action but how come we have no right on the result of the action? The answer to this mysterious co-relationship between efforts and success is given in Gitaji itself.

We are now doing business in a global village. The sourcing of raw material, its manufacturing, selling and distribution are done, irrespective of geographical boundaries, through seamless transaction over the internet. The new style of business and economy is transcending time and space boundaries, and monetary transactions are now faceless and paperless. Needless to mention, we need to equip ourselves with updated technologies and infrastructure to cope with the new environment of doing business under a new ecosystem.
Besides this qualitative change in the way of doing business, at present, another challenge is the turmoil caused by the sudden onslaught of the pandemic and the world over, the impact of COVID-19 on people’s daily life continues to be terrible.
We now have better medical facilities and medicines but poorer health, higher IQ and intellectual brain but poorer common sense and spiritual experience, potent weaponry to eliminate enemy in a war but poor bravery to sustain peace and statesmanship. We have twisted and wound up ourselves too much and are now unable to look at our simple life scenario with straight and simple eyes. Therefore the time has come for us to learn how we should unwind and relax ourselves to enjoy our fruits of labour that we have earned.
This Book titled ‘Life Lessons from Gitaji on New Economy’ would be dealing with these issues in the light of Wisdom as explained in Gita by Bhagwan Krishna on human behaviour (Karma) in tandem (Yoga) with the Laws of the Nature. The language and approach may look somewhere out of context but that has been done purposefully to provoke its reader to think out of Box.
Whenever we face a situation that is not normal and disturb our routine of living we term that phenomenon as a CRISIS. Though we face many critical situations but the biggest CRISIS in life is to realize our HELPLESSNESS under a given situation.
We live under constant FEAR and remain so throughout our life. This FEAR may be of failure or non-performance or loss of people and property but the greatest FEAR of all is DEATH. Our dilemma is we want to have
Whenever we face a situation that is not normal and disturb our routine of living we term that phenomenon as a CRISIS. Though we face many critical situations but the biggest CRISIS in life is to realize our HELPLESSNESS under a given situation.
We live under constant FEAR and remain so throughout our life. This FEAR may be of failure or non-performance or loss of people and property but the greatest FEAR of all is DEATH. Our dilemma is we want to have the option of retaining or leaving any situation or relation at our will but DEATH is inevitable and irretrievable since that when once occurs cannot be relived. At present, the situation is of CRISIS as we feel we are helpless to cure the pandemic and are living under constant fear of DEATH.
Today this COVID 19 virus is there to kill only the human race and we are facing the annihilation of our race by this weapon of nature - pandemic (Mahakaal). The existence and future of the Human race is in danger and under the grip of fear of death. There is a frantic appeal by all the Governments and healthcare sector to abide by the precautions we need to survive from the certain death from this virus.
This Book deals with the craft of Crisis Management through wisdom enumerated in Gitaji by Bhagwan Krishna.
Gitaji is a treasure house of practical and applied wisdom. It is a true friend, philosopher and guide to its reader. I was introduced to Gita Mata by my father Pt. Rameshwar Vyas. He was a yoga teacher and social worker.

He was a yoga teacher and social worker. He used to hold satsang with learned Sanskrit scholars, and I used to listen to their interpretation on Ved, Upnishad, Ramayan, Mahabharat, and of course, Gitaji.
Gitaji does not counter or propagate any ‘ism’ or school of thoughts. It reveals universal, psychological, philosophical and scientific facts to its reader. It says that whatever way you tread, i.e., action, knowledge or devotion, it all leads you to your inner peace and freedom.
Gitaji is a brief version of Sanskrit verse explained in Hindi. It tries to simplify as well as co-ordinate related topics dealt within the epic sermon by Lord Krishna.
Gita needs no introduction. The whole great Vedic civilization of Indians are known and related to the philosophy enumerated by this book. The sermon of Bhagwan Krishna to grief-stricken Arjun was told in the battlefield where two armies were standing to start the battle.
Since birth, every person starts his fight; one may call this as action or living. But it is a form of fight where we are not alone to live, to act; we are always with our opponent off
Gita needs no introduction. The whole great Vedic civilization of Indians are known and related to the philosophy enumerated by this book. The sermon of Bhagwan Krishna to grief-stricken Arjun was told in the battlefield where two armies were standing to start the battle.
Since birth, every person starts his fight; one may call this as action or living. But it is a form of fight where we are not alone to live, to act; we are always with our opponent offering resistance to us. The battle might get over due to our abandoning the fight but the cause remains alive, kicking us in our brain, creating a violent environment converting us into a person with ever-agitating, complaining mind and intellect. The non-violence wrapped under the cowardice is more dangerous than the demonstrated violence.
Throughout the teachings of Gita we can notice the tone of universalism in suggesting self-elevation for all irrespective of caste, creed, and education-level of holy texts – Vedas and Upanishads. Teachings of Gita have broken all those misgivings of a common man. One can also practice meditation by learning the knowledge of truth and can identify SELF as different from the material body. Uniqueness in teachings of Gita is its direct approach to a common man. It suggests a direct relationship and communication between Man and God.
In Gita, Bhagwan Krishna dwells upon the wisdom about reality as well as a practical way of living day-to-day life and improving our SELF. While reading Gita we would learn Bhagwan Krishna discoursing on the most secret and sacred knowledge and now here we are learning the tips for our better behaviour and conduct.
I wish and pray for the readers a purposeful and happy life. Kindly accept my regards to read Gita for your all-round growth and self-elevation. With due respect and regards to all the schools of thought I would like to draw inference from their interpretations to make it purposeful and a learning experience. The objective of my writing this book is to start a thinking process amongst us the useful and relevant message to improve our day to day life with the blessings of Mother Gita.
