Bhagavad Gita Svādhyāya : A Dissertation

<p> I was selected as an external expert examiner for his dissertation. I have read the book from start to finish for fifteen days. I took extra time to read it …. it pulled me; it pulled me to adhyātma. Such a good book. I read it with much eagerness and enjoyed it very much. Even I was unable to write a book like this. It took me back to all that I had studied in my youth. I understood the Gītā again as I had understood it as a student. … … Listening to him I remembered my Guru paramparā my Vyasa paramparā my own student days. … It was such an adbhut viva great experience unforgettable and ever memorable. ..</p><p>I did PhD and have worked as a Head of Department in SVYASA in 2012 and have worked as Vice Chancellor of SVYASA. We must try and reach the level I have seen and experienced in this case. There have been PhD’s but none like this. .. I returned from my journey and am back home but I still remember that Vyasa paramparā. This is the way. This is the quality we have to maintain.
