    My dear Chithra

    U have given a vivid explanation on why we study Gita. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this weeks posts and I am anxiously waiting for ur next posting about Gita. Ur post inspired me very much and I am planning to start reading the Baghavad Gita from tomorrow onwards. I am chanting the Saptasloki Gita given by u daily.

    Thank u for a lovely post.

    Love and regards
    Priya

    My dear Priya,
    You are always very prompt & methodical - in trying as well as sending F B s.
    Thankyou very much.
    I may not be posting only Gita related topics every week. Side by side, there are some other topics which must be learnt, to help us understand Gita better.
    Please continue with me, Priya.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    I admire you all the more now.. It has been a wonderful learning with you so far.. be it your recipes... your kitchen ideas... your cultural forum..
    i think of it and i get an answer from your forum..
    tussi great ho ji...

    I have been a very keen student of the Gita for the past 10 years or so.. but not so regular as you ... We have just begun withCh. I all over again for the third time in these years...

    As everybody else.. i also have my own experiences of enlightenment by this wonderful scripture our ancestors have left for us.. Curse the limitation of our intellect that we are still unable to perceive it as well as it was intended to be..

    Thank you so much for all your herculean efforts at this Chitraji

    Waiting to read more from your end.

    Thank you.

    Dear Lakshmi,
    How we evolve over age in life is revealed to us by our own approach to situations, understanding scriptures etc.
    So, every time you go through Gita, a new dimension emerges in your understanding.
    I started in 94, my first course of the Gita & finished in 2002. It was a weekly once class.
    Now, I am dong my second time classes. Now it is just like honey!
    Gita has not changed, only my understanding has improved!!
    Thanks, L, for your nice words. Do read all Gita posts in order from the index.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Chitra,

    Though i heard about Gita, I never got an opportunity to read . The first post on Gita itself inspired me to read further.

    Thanks mam.
