#Review: Gita on the Go by Aakriti Bansal
Gita on the Go
Author: Aakriti Bansal
Publisher: Rupa Publications
Rating: 5/5
Gita on the Go turned out to be one of those books that quietly stays with you long after you’ve closed it. What I liked most was how it took something as vast and intimidating as the Bhagavad Gita and wove it into modern, everyday struggles—without ever sounding preachy. The stories of Pragya, Maryam, and Aakash felt raw and relatable, and I could see parts of myself (and people I know) in their dilemmas. The character of Kannan, guiding them almost invisibly, was a clever touch—it never felt forced, more like a gentle nudge in the right direction.
That said, a couple of the stories felt a little rushed, and I sometimes wished the author had lingered longer on the emotions or conflicts. But the overall effect was still moving and thought-provoking. It doesn’t give you ready-made answers; rather, it makes you pause and reflect—“What is my dharma now?” And honestly, that’s the beauty of it.
This isn’t just a book for those interested in philosophy; it’s for anyone trying to make sense of life’s chaos. A fresh, heartfelt, and surprisingly comforting read.
