Divine Abode

The general understanding is that Bhagavad-gita is merely a holy book or ancient scripture. But by learning from authorized sources, one understands that it is much more: it is a guide book to lead an enjoyable and blissful life.

In the modern times when people are more confused and misdirected, the Gita becomes all the more relevant for bringing back stability and happiness.
