nice post Shiva. If there was ever a book worth reading, it is the Gita. It summarizes the vedas beautifully, and goes beyond them , by making their essence immediate and relevant to ill read lesser beings ( like me). A friend once told me every verse in the Gita is worth a life time of learning... it is, as I discovered , reading it for the first time.'
Whose sketch is that by the way?....

Ha ha ha, Thanks Chandan. I agree with your friend. If I have to choose only one book and live the rest of my life, I would certainly ask for 'Bhagavat Gita'. Reading a verse from it is the first thing I do every morning. Reading it will not make you a saint but it is certainly helping me, I can't express it how and why? It is beyond our grasp.

'Whose sketch' you mean who drew it? or whose image on the sketch?
I will answer both. The sketch I tried copying a byzantine glass painting I myself really don't know who it is. Should be some Roman God. I drew it using a pen.

LOL... it is your sketch, that much I gathered and I asked whose it was in the other sense, because with the post about Gita, I instantly started to look for a icon related to the post...assumptions, assumptions... Roman god works just as well too...

Apparently, it's not easy to find a decent translation of the Bhagavad Gita in English or in French. So many exist already, which one should i pick?
If you know of a good English translation, then i'll give it a try.

Impressive Roman god! Beautiful art work!
