Meri Geeta - Paperback

Description

Author: Devdutt PatnayakLanguage: HindiPublisher: Rupa & CoPublication Date: Dec-16Book Description: In Meri Gita , acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies The Bhagavad Gita for the contemporary reader. His unique approach-thematic rather than verse-by-verse-makes the ancient treatise eminently accessible, combined as it is with his trademark illustrations and simple diagrams. In a world that seems spellbound by argument over dialogue, vi-vaad over sam-vaad, Devdutt highlights how Krishna nudges Arjuna to understand rather than judge his relationships. This becomes relevant today when we are increasingly indulging and isolating the self (self-improvement, self-actualization, self-realization-even selfies!).We forget that we live in an ecosystem of others, where we can nourish each other with food, love and meaning, even when we fight. So let My Gita inform your Gita.About the Author: Devdutt Pattanaik was trained in medicine, and worked in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry for fifteen years, before turning his part-time passion for mythology into his full-time profession. He has authored over six hundred articles and over thirty books on the relevance of sacred stories, symbols and rituals in modern times. He is a much sought after corporate speaker and acts as a consultant to organisations on matters related to leadership and culture.Number of Pages: 280
