This book was suggested to me by someone who is atleast 20 yrs older than me (I am 20 by the way), had been 3 days and boy I have read almost 3 fourth of the book. It's soo interesting. If someone of you have doubts of this being a religious book, then I may clarify that the book is not about Hindu Religion. It's about the way to lead a happy life without regrets. It has centered its theme around the battles we have in our mind everyday about what's right and what's wrong. This book helps you clear the fog in your mind, so that you can see the truth. Gita in its orignal form is a tough book to understand, by writing "Gita for children", author is just conveying that this is a simplified version after which you can explore the whole new world. This stepping stone is a marvellous piece of hardwork. If you have ever studied subjects like Psychology or Philosophy, you will find this very interesting.
Hope this helps you

My son loves to read but he was not interested in the knowledge about our own (Indian) great books , for example Ramayana and Mahabharat . He loves to read about Greek gods and Harry Potter kinda books and we were happy to see that . But the day, he said ," I don't like Indian Mythology at all so don't force me." Made me think about that and I was wondering , how to make him feel great and proud about our own ancient Epics filled with endless truths . I searched this time hard on Google and thru Amazon reviews , got this book and same day ordered it .
Now comes the interesting part , my son(10 years) has almost finished it and said today , " Mumma at places , it makes me cry " . And i without reading it my own , felt so good about my decision to give him this book . It's so grasping , that my son took it school to too to read it in his free period . Thanks to the writer for making it so easy for me . Go for it !!

This book contains many other things like
10 avtaars of Vishnu
12 names of Krishna
12 names of Arjuna
Ashtanga yoga
seven ages of man
12 months of Hindu calenders
6 seasons
Sattvik diet list..
I believe its suitable fr age 20 and above.. title should have been renamed to 'Gita for teems'
Overall it's good fr a beginner to introduce them to Gita. Quality of print and pages is not that bad. .. nothing new has been added. I found sudha murthys books more appealing..

I was expecting any examples thru which we can convey the message to children of 5-10 years.. bhagwad Gita content is not elaborated with any such examples where children could understand.. Content is moreover copy paste from Google.. not all shlokas are referred. Only few shlokas are there..

I would have thought a book of this kind, simply told, would be an asset. However, was deeply disappointed at the flippant way the author has tackled the great epic. No doubt the information is there, but I also felt a tinge of mockery; the very casual way it has been rendered, as if two giggly teenagers are narrating the story to another group of teenagers. Disappointed!

The tone of the book is very flippant and sarcastic especially when it talks about parents. It seems like a misguided attempt to be "cool" and appeal to a young audience. But its an unfortunate execution of a very good intent (which is what prompted us to buy it in the first place).
My children themselves were uncomfortable with some of the language and tone and esp. questioned why the author refers to parents in such a degrading manner. And it keeps coming page after page right from chapter one.
It's now sitting around unfinished and is destined for the 'raddiwallah'. We don't even want to donate this to anyone.
This is the second of the authors books we ordered together. There is definitely an issue with her working style.

About the book:
It will give you a general idea of the pre-kurukshetra yudh and about the Bhagvat Gita in general.
The author has picked some famous shlokas out of the 700 ones and has explained/interpreted them as per her thoughts, and of the people she refers to in the Bibliography.
Mind you, she doesn’t go to the original sources but on the interpretations of the gita by learned people she mentioned at the end of the book. So, please dont consider this 100% accurate, just like no version of Gita/Veda/upanishad can ever be.
I loved her way with words! The reading is easy and inviting.
The only con I could find consistently in every of herbook is that her dates are all messed up. She is not a historian, so please excuse the history part of things but the content is worth every rupee.
Highly recommended.

I’ve loved this book from the word “go”. A simple, easy to read book for both adults and children. I read this book to my girls at bed time, and they hate it when I say that’s it for the night

This book is without a doubt the best entry point to understanding the Gita for both children and adults. It has made the knowledge so accessible and easy to digest and for that kudos to the author. To you I say, thank you and I hope you work on more such books/themes in the future.
