Sometimes I was speechless: the answers were there in black and white and yet, we groped around in futility. Through the years I read various Gita translations, attended several discourses, met spiritual sages and gained insights into the mysterious Gita. Lord Krishna's firm yet caring guidance fell on my ears and I was never the same again. He succeeded in transforming the formidable Gita into a friend who winked and bantered with me as he gently nudged me away from the darkness of confusion, apathy, fear, and ignorance. Swamiji, in his characteristic impish style, interspersed the wisdom of the Gita with witty jokes. I do hope the second edition of 'Bhagavad Gita in 365 Days' touches your heart and guides your steps towards a life of joy and peace.ДЄs a child when I first heard the Gita's shlokas recited with depth and power by Swami Chinmayananda I sensed that that the Gita's message was the key to a life of joy and peace. All I can say is that Krishna's flute plays, spreading its magic in our lives, helping us through life's challenges. Shree Anup Jalota rendered bhajans and released the book formally. I was even more touched when the General Manager of 'The Times of India,' extremely delighted with the simple and profound Gita of 365 days, volunteered to formally launch the Gita in the Times of India premises in Mumbai. A Mumbai lawyer, after reading it, has ensured that even her casual acquaintances receive this gift from her another bank executive told me that she begins her extremely busy day with a reading from the Gita. So many businessmen, professionals such as doctors and even housewives find answers to their lives' troubles when they delve into this simplified Gita. A senior employee at the United Nations shared with me that when he was posted in trouble-ridden Baghdad, he used to begin his day by reading from this Gita and ending it the same way. There is an effort to ensure copies of this 'Bhagavad Gita in 365 Days' find their place in American libraries I was overwhelmed to receive an email from a lady entrepreneur in Columbia who has, after reading the Gita, made a special puja-roorn in her apartment there so she may keep this Gita in it. It heartens me that it has touched so many lives everywhere. This second edition comes out on the back of the tremendous appreciation that I have received from people across the world for the simple wisdom of the Gita. I am humbled to learn that the first edition of the 'Bhagavad Gita in 365 Days' has been sold out. She is also the author of the spiritual book, Towards Light, and the short story fiction, Temple Bells and Other Stories. She has been published by various newspapers and journals, including The Times of India which carried her articles under the Speaking Tree.
