This is the 2nd Volume of the Gita Mananam Series covering chapters 7-12
Rooted in the Upanishadic heart of the Gita, the journal styled book honors the Sanskrit practice of Mananam—reflective assimilation of what has already been heard (Shravanam) or read (Adhyayanam). Thought-provoking questions guide users to articulate their own insights, crystallise spiritual teachings into daily habits, and track personal transformation over time.
By shifting from passive reading to active reflection, Gita Mananam serves as a daily companion for those who wish to remain anchored in the Divine while navigating life’s battle with clarity, purpose, and inner peace.

Gita Mananam, an innovative and practical approach to studying and applying the teachings of Bhagavad Gita. It aims to bring the teachings of Bhagavad Gita into our daily lives through various contemplation questions and inspirations.
In an age where internet dishes up information, and AI steers us away from intellectual engagements, readers need a means for addressing their daily conflicts through introspection and self-contemplation. Gita Mananam answers that call by transforming the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita into an interactive sanctuary for deep inquiry and personal insight.
Rather than layering on commentary, this workbook invites readers, from solitary seekers to family study circles, to engage directly with the text, uncovering its relevance to modern dilemmas like work life balance, stress management, and ethical decision-making. Published in paperback

What is Fate? What is Free Will?
The evolving Western perspectives on Free Will, bolstered by neuroscience, have led many to ponder if we are simply marionettes controlled by Destiny. The concept of Karma in Indian philosophy provides critical insights into the ‘Fate versus Free Will’ debate. Worldwide adoption of ancient Indian practices like Yoga and Mindfulness offers ways to mitigate the impact of Karma. Moreover, Indian non-dualistic philosophies, such as Advaita Vedanta and certain Buddhist traditions, aim to break the chains of Karma (Fate) at the root level.
For example, these philosophies delve into addictions and their chokehold on Free Will. They also address the despair felt when life’s events unfold contrary to our desires, leaving us feeling powerless. Tackling these issues, the central tenet of this book declares: “Liberation from Karma is not just achievable but can be attained in the present moment!”
