THE BHAGAVADGITA FOR MILLENIALS (HB)

A millennial?s guide to the
Bhagavad Gita, the foundational text on dharma. As Arjuna stands on the
battlefield of the Great War of Kurukshetra, he finds himself surrounded by
men he has known for years. He must wound, maim or kill them to earn what the
Pandavas deserve. But how can he kill those in whose laps his childhood was
spent, those gurus who taught him to hold his bow? As Arjuna faces this
dilemma, Krishna, an avatara of Lord Vishnu, appears before him in his
universal form. And thus begins a dialogue between them on what is right and
what is wrong, on dharma and on the cycle of cause and consequence.  One of the core Hindu scriptures, the
Bhagavad Gita holds important lessons on how we can live our lives and fulfil
our duties, but the millennials may consider it too ancient for their use or
too complex for their understanding. In this book, Bibek Debroy recasts the
Bhagavad Gita in a simple and cohesive form for millennials, so that its
content and deeper meaning are not lost with the generations of our
grandparents and parents.
