AN ATHEIST GETS THE GITA (PB)

‘Will this make us happy?’ This question troubles 25-year-old IIM graduate Anveshak Jigyanshu an investment banker in Singapore as he meets his two-decade senior Charan Saket. Their conversation reminds the reader of the dialogue between Arjuna and Krishna. Anveshak a self-proclaimed atheist is mesmerized by the compelling arguments put forth by Charan as they both explore the world of science and its limitations what proof means the dilemma of ethics and finally what real and everlasting happiness is. In a way Charan explains the essence of the Bhagavad Gita. Slowly turning from a disbeliever to one who accepts logic Anveshak discovers the key to his question. In a tightly gripping narrative the authors gently persuade the reader to relook and understand the essence of the Bhagavad Gita in the modern world. Anveshak represents the modern intellectual who seeks happiness but does not want to follow anything blindly. This book will change the way one looks at happiness.
