Gita Life – A Summary of the Bhagavad-gita in Acronyms

Description

Over the passage of time, our friends, family, society and the media paint the perfect picture of ‘success’, and we subsequently shape our lives in determined pursuance of it. At a certain point, however, we begin to doubt whether that ‘perfect life’ is achievable or will actually make us happy. We begin to question the materialistic goals, aspirations and measures of success that people unquestioningly follow. We wonder: could there be some deeper purpose to life? It is this very doubt that Arjuna expresses at the onset of the Bhagavad-gita. In response, Krishna powerfully explains the science of spiritual happiness. ‘Gita Life’ is a humble attempt to summarise the key insights of the Bhagavad-gita. The aim is not to draw out every single philosophical teaching, but rather to assist readers in understanding the flow, context and practical application of this timeless spiritual gem. It may also assist teachers of the Bhagavad-gita in their attempts to share this wisdom with others.
