The Bhagavad Gita Retold: Timeless Questions for a Modern World

'The world's oldest questions. Asked again, for our time.'

On the morning of the great war, between two waiting armies, the warrior Arjuna lowers his bow. He cannot bring himself to win a kingdom at the cost of everyone he loves. What his charioteer, Krishna, tells him next became the Bhagavad Gita, the most enduring words ever spoken on how to live.

In The Bhagavad Gita Retold, Om Swami lifts this dialogue out of the distance of centuries and rewrites in the language of now. Through some thirty existential questions including but not limited to purpose and fear, duty and love, loss and the self, Krishna and Arjuna's exchange becomes a mirror for the doubts we carry in our own restless lives.

Wise, compassionate and deeply relevant, The Bhagavad Gita Retold is more than a retelling of a timeless classic in Om Swami's inimitable style. It is a practical guide to finding clarity, courage and inner peace in an uncertain world.

OM SWAMI has touched the lives of millions around the world through his bestsellers on spirituality and wellness. Ever to stay away from any limelight and public interactions, the reclusive, unconventional monk has demonstrated the extraordinary power of prolonged medication under lab conditions.

Om Swami is a mystic who lives in the Himalayan foothills. Prior to renunciation, he founded and ran a multimillion-dollar software company with offices across the world. He is also the author of the bestselling books If Truth be Told: A Monk's Memoir (HarperCollins, 2014), The Wellness Sense: A Practical Guide to Your Physical and Emotional Health Based on Ayurvedic and Yogic Wisdom (HarperCollins, 2015), When All Is Not Well: Depression, Sadness and Healing -- A Yogic Perspective (HarperCollins, 2016), The Last Gambit (HarperCollins, 2017), Mind Full to Mindful: Zen Wisdom from a Monk's Bowl (HarperCollins, 2018), The Children of Tomorrow: A Monk's Guide to Mindful Parenting (HarperCollins, 2019), and The Book of Kindness: How to Make Others Happy and Be Happy Yourself (HarperCollins, 2019).
