The Gita For Children is an accessible friend, philosopher and
guide, designed to, reassure, empower, and provide direction to
young readers in an increasingly chaotic and morally topsy-turvy
world. The Bhagavad Gita has been on India’s must-read list for
an incredible 2500 years (at the very least), and with good reason.
Secular, liberal, and unfailingly compassionate towards human
frailty, the divine song is a call to war against the most powerful
and dangerous enemy of all – the one that lives inside our heads.
Pai’s spirited, one-of-a-kind retelling of the epic conversation
between Pandava prince Arjuna and his mentor and friend Krishna is
the best introduction to the Bhagavad Gita. Lucid,
thought-provoking and brimming with fun trivia, this book will stay
with you long after you have turned the last page.
Three thousand years ago, deep inside the forests of India, a great
'thought revolution' was brewing. In those forest labs, the
brightest thinker-philosophers contemplated the universe, reflected
on ancient texts called the Vedas and came up with startling
insights into questions we still don't have final answers to, like:
* What is the universe made of? * How do I know I'm looking at a
tree when I see one? * Who am I? And where did they put those
explosive findings? In a sprawling body of goosebumpy and
fascinating oral literature called the Upanishads! Intimidated?
Don't be! For this joyful, fun guide to some of India's
longest-lasting secular wisdoms, reinterpreted for first-time
explorers by Roopa Pai, is guaranteed to keep you turning the
pages.
