New Delhi, India
I have been writing for almost decades as a writer, but for Vedic Story, I began at the end of 2022. I realized Indian mythology has secrets that most of us don’t know. Every story, whether it is the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, the Story of Indra, or the Story of Tridevi and Tridev. There is knowledge filled with wisdom. Thus, I began to feel I needed to write what I learned and express myself to make people read the stories to live a life that is free from misery, problems, and doubts about why humans exist reading the Bhagavad Gita.
So, let’s unfold my favorite.
Bhagavad Gita As It Is by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The Bhagavad Gita, a soul of the Mahabharata, the epic tale of the Pandavas and Kauravas, is the wisdom every human seeks. The Gita knowledge is given to Arjuna, the purest devotee of Krishna, who surrendered himself to the Supreme Being. Arjuna asked Krishna to show him the path of enlightenment when he felt vulnerable and engulfed in the delusion of worldly affairs, which brought him to the battlefield with his own cousins, brothers, and relatives.
The 18 chapters of the Gita are the eighteen body parts of the Supreme Being. They teach us to do our work, leaving behind every expectation, attachment, greed, arrogance, and illusion, and focusing on only duty.
Bhagavad Gita As It Is by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is written exactly in the same tone as written in the Sanskrit version of the original Gita. Reading it daily or even listening to it helps us cope with the problems of our lives easily.
Gita Bodh: A Complete and Precise Insight in The Bhagavad Gita & Vedanta by Uday Karanjkar
Many writers have read the Gita and learned to live without any expectations of getting back what they give to their families, loved ones, and even society. Gita Bodh (affiliate link) is a narration of the Bhagavad Gita and Vedanta by Uday Karanjkar. He wrote his insights on the Mahabharata to offer people the hidden wisdom of the Gita, which was written by Lord Krishna himself. Read the Gita Bodh and make your life problem-free by bringing it on track with a Vedic story.
The Bhagavad Gita: God Talks With Arjuna (2 Vol Set): The Bhagavad Gita (Set Of 2 Vol) by Paramahansa Yogananda
Paramahansa Yogananda wrote “The Bhagavad Gita: God Talks with Arjuna (affiliate link).” It is surely an in-depth talk we seek as a human with our loved ones or the person we think we can discuss things easily with to get the answers to our problems. But we forget that the person is also a mere human who cannot solve the problems you are looking for. It is the God who can solve your problems and the answers you are searching for. Krishna, as the Supreme Godhead himself, tells the universal secret of who runs the world and how birth and death happen. We must seek knowledge and answers from Krishna himself because he is everywhere and asks us to read the Gita to live a life that is free of problems under his sacred lotus feet.
MY GITA by Devdutt Pattanaik
My Gita by Devdutt Pattanaik (affiliate link) is certainly one of the most genuine and humanly written versions of the Gita. He wrote in a way that every human can understand the complexity of human life and resolve their problems like a pro.
This is my list of The Bhagavad Gita that I cherish and read whenever I get stuck on my path and am looking for the answers. The Gita is my way of learning about life and Krishna himself. Earlier, I thought of him as a human with a naughty character who steals hearts. But when I began to read the Gita and listen to the Gita, I came to know him as a sustainer, preserver, and maintainer of the world. Without him, there is nothing except darkness.
So, go ahead. Read the Gita and live a purposeful life.
