BECAUSE

Answer form ,unlike other books which are explaining the meaning of each Shloka
chapter wise.

2. The book has been divided in different topics and each topic further consists of maximum
possible numbers of doubts/ questions agitating the minds of a common man.

3. The above queries were finalized after having interaction/ sitting with a large number of
people at large.

possible Shlokas spread over different chapter of Holy Geeta to make the answers a
complete and comprehensive one.

truths as detailed in Holy Geeta in a simple clear, pointed and perspective way for easy
grasp of common man and hence the name of the book

Geeta - Way of Life for A Common Man.

The idea of the author was to provide and promote the everlasting and ever relevant

Synopsis:
“You were never born; you will never die. You have never changed; you can never change”.
--- Bhagvad Geeta

Lord Krishna imparted the knowledge of Geeta to Arjun in war zone when he found him
mentally dejected and heartbroken; once he developed strong attachment towards his near
and dears and refused to kill them.

Through the above sermons Lord Krishna finally uplifted the morale of Arjun and made him
strong enough that he stood up, fought the war with Zealand finally won the war.

Geeta terms our never ending desires as the root cause all our worries and miseries, It further
States that that our ever wandering mind is the seat of our desires and hence the need to
control the same.

Geeta is an elixir about the right working of mind and offers clinically/ scientifically based
correct analysis/solution about its behavior, illness and indecisiveness of the mind.

The entire Geeta revolves around Almighty and His opulence and working clearly that all
wordly things are due to Him only.

It provides scientific reasons why he is formless and how to meet and find him; which
further illuminates that he is our best friend and He never abandons us and is always on
our right side always cautioning us against wrong actions in form of our inner Voice.

It talks about soul mandating that soul is internal and never dies or takes birth.

It states that I am soul and the body as the perishable while soul is everlasting.

It clarifies why one commits sin when normally none would like to do so; explaining that it
is the anger (erupting due to non fulfillment of desires) which forces one to commit sin.

It brings out that everyone has to face the results of one’s actions whether good or bad,
further stressing that one should perform right actions as prescribed in Holy Scriptures.

It further lays stress on the co-ordinated working of three vital organs of the body namely -

Body, mind and Intellects instead of following mind alone as it will since intellect alone acts
as minds’ force to correct our actions and having a check on one’s mind.

It also deliberates on the type of food one should take giving the advantages/disadvantages
of different foods and finally recommending that we should have saatvic and vegetarian
food only to have a healthy body and mind as all foods have a direct affect on both.

It also talks about yog, meditation, salvation and self discipline describing their advantages
and the method to practice and perfect them.

To sum up, Geeta acts as a Lighthouse in to lead everyone in the darkness of agony/
worries.
