Customer Reviews
The real and practical wisdom
Growing up in India, the Bhagavad Gita was a familiar name. However, I used to consider it merely a religious book. That ignorance prevailed until I started listening to Gautamji's discourses. Not only does it follow a structured approach, but it also offers practical ways to overcome the challenges of life. Without his teachings, I would have never believed that we can be both peaceful and productive at the same time
