Shrimad-Bhagvad-Gita Tattva-Vivechani (Gita Press Code -457)

Sri Sankaracharya's works, spanning commentaries, discourses, and hymns, have had a profound influence on Advaita Vedanta, the non-dualistic school of thought. Venkataramanan skillfully selects key texts and presents them in a readable and accessible manner, allowing readers to delve into the depths of Sankaracharya's wisdom.

It's one of the oldest books in the world and India's biggest blockbuster bestseller! 

But isn't it meant only for religious old people?

But isn't it very long... and, erm, super difficult to read?

But isn't the stuff it talks about way too complex for regular folks to understand?

What kind of Hindu Rashtra is this where Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti, Durga pooja processions, and even Garba celebrations, are attacked and stoned with impunity?

The easy flowing language and wonderful illustrations add to the charm and make it a prized possession in one’s personal collection.

Durga, as this powerful warrior-goddess is known,
Has nine special forms-each one unique, not just a clone.
Shailaputri, Brahmacharini and Chandraghanta,
Kushmanda and Skandamata,
Katyayani and Kaalratri,
Maha Gauri and Siddhidatri . . .
They are the Nava Durga,
Worshipped during Navaratri,
The festival of nine nights and nine days
That's celebrated across India and the world in myriad ways
To praise the goddesses and their glory.
This is their story!

And not our asanas? Those too, but not in the way you imagined it.
