My Gita by Devdutt Pattanaik

My Gita by Devdutt Pattanaik

In My Gita, acclaimed mythologist Devdutt Pattanaik demystifies The Bhagavad Gita for the contemporary reader. His unique approach-thematic rather than verse-by-verse-makes the ancient treatise eminently accessible, combined as it is with his trademark illustrations and simple diagrams. In a world that seems spellbound by argument over dialogue, vi-vaad over sam-vaad, Devdutt highlights how Krishna nudges Arjuna to understand rather than judge his relationships. This becomes relevant today when we are increasingly indulging and isolating the self (self-improvement, self-actualization, self-realization-even selfies ).We forget that we live in an ecosystem of others, where we can nourish each other with food, love and meaning, even when we fight. So let My Gita inform your Gita.

Devdutt Pattanaik is a writer, illustrator, and lecturer who focuses on the present significance of mythology. Since 1996, he has published over thirty books and 700 columns on how ancient and current civilizations around the world manufacture subjective truth (myths) using stories, symbols, and rituals. 7 Secrets of Hindu Calendar Art (Westland), Myth=Mithya: A Handbook of Hindu Mythology (Penguin), Jaya: An Illustrated Retelling of the Mahabharata (Penguin), Sita: An Illustrated Retelling of the Ramayana (Penguin), Olympus: An Indian Retelling of the Greek Myths (Penguin), Devlok with Devdutt Patta (Rupa), Visit devdutt.com for additional information.
