The Bhagavad Gita, the nectar of the Mahabharata, is found at almost the centre of the 18 cantos (parvans). This beautiful Bhagavad Gita necklace of eighteen sections (chapters) strung with 700 pearls of wisdom (verses) was created by the omniscient Veda Vyasa. The Bhagavad Gita talks about you and me, and our problems. It answers questions that we often seek answers to: Who am I? How can I be hap
py? How do I get rid of anger? How do I remain calm in provocative situations? Why did God create this world? What is the goal of life and how do I achieve it? It talks about universal issues of life, relevant at all times, places and circumstances, irrespective of a person’s gender, caste, creed, colour, religion, nationality, or culture. The human quest for peace and happiness has not changed from ancient times, despite the radical changes in our lifestyle. Being universal in nature,
the Bhagavad Gita applies to all professions and spheres of life.
