An Atheist gets the Gita is an attempt to demystify the wisdom in the timeless text of Bhagavad Gita. The book presents rigorous and logical arguments on the expanse and limitations of science, definition of proofs, dilemma of ethics, and finally what everlasting happiness means. The book delves into the essence of 𝑑ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑎, 𝑎𝑡𝑚𝑎, 𝑘𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑎, & 𝑦𝑜𝑔𝑎 with crystal clarity on their application in the modern world. Towards the end of the book, Bhagavad Gita reveals itself as the instructional manual for the universe. In understanding how a 𝑗𝑖𝑣𝑎’𝑠 (living entity) interaction with 𝑝𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑖 (material nature) in 𝑘𝑎𝑙𝑎 (time) is governed by the 𝑙𝑎𝑤𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑘𝑎𝑟𝑚𝑎 (causal law) designed by 𝐼𝑠ℎ𝑣𝑎𝑟𝑎 (Supreme Controller) one shall find the key to crafting a happy and fulfilling life.
