Gita For Children / A Teaching Tool For Elders

A mentor to leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, a companion to western thinkers like Albert Einstein, Herman Hesse, Carl Jung, Aldous Huxley, and a mother to great saints like Adi Sankaracharya and Vivekananda, the Bhagavadgita can now be a friend to even a child. The pioneer proponent of the Bhagavadgita in modern times, Swami Chinmayananda, views the Bhagavadgita as the edifice upholding Indian philosophy and culture, and as a guide in times, good and bad. Thus, the Bhagavadgita is a powerful tool for personal empowerment and social change. In 'Gita For Children,' the 18 chapters of the Bhagavadgita are simplified. A detailed summary of each chapter is given, important verses are selected and doubts cleared, for the elders to explain the ideas to the children. While reading the book to the children, elders will find an insightful initiation into the Gita wisdom, and children will find a loving friend in Lord Krishna, making the Gita experience richer, personal, and valuable.
