I am Gita
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF BHAGAVAD GITA EXPLAINED LIKE NEVER BEFORE!
Moments before the Mahabharata war, Arjuna says, ‘I don’t wish to slay my brothers or commit violence just to gain a kingdom; even the scriptures forbid this!’
Are you in agreement with Arjuna?
Why did Krishna disagree with Arjuna?
Did Krishna incite Arjuna to fight the war or did he show him the right path?
Can there be valid reasons for committing violence and waging a war?
Who is right—Krishna or Arjuna?
Why did it take Krishna all of 18 chapters to convince Arjuna?
Certainly, Gita is one but the questions are many! And Gita is the epitome of psychology, as Krishna is the first psychologist of human history; and it is spiritual psychology alone that can accurately answer all the questions related to mind and life. Yet, the psychological aspects of Gita have always been ignored.
‘I am Gita’ is the first-ever book on Bhagavad Gita that elucidates the essence of all 700 shlokas along with its psychological and spiritual dimension in totality. In the book, Arjuna poses his questions in first person, and Krishna also answers in first person, which makes the conversation between Krishna and Arjuna come alive. Imparting the thrill of a story, the book, penned in a simple language, will help people of all age groups grasp the true essence of the Gita effortlessly.
Deep Trivedi is the author of several bestsellers such as ‘I am Krishna’, ‘I am The Mind’, ‘Everything is Psychology’ and many more. He holds an international record for conducting 168 hours of workshops on the Bhagavad Gita. He has also been awarded with an Honorary Doctorate for his works on the psychology of Bhagavad Gita.
This book is available in English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati at leading book stores and e-commerce sites.

कुछ किताबें हाथ में नहीं, मन में खुलती हैं। दीप त्रिवेदी की "मैं गीता हूँ" ऐसी ही एक किताब है। यह किताब खुद को गीता कहती है, और फिर बिना कोई भारी-भरकम भूमिका बनाए, सीधे हमारे पास आकर बैठ जाती है। वह कहती है – “आओ, बात करते हैं… इस बार वैसे जैसे अपने आप से करते हैं।”
हर अध्याय के बाद दी गई वर्कशीट इस किताब को पढ़ने का नहीं, सोचने और समझने का अनुभव बना देती है। यह सिर्फ गीता के श्लोकों की बात नहीं करती, बल्कि हमारे जीवन के सवालों को छूती है। यह किताब हमारे भीतर उतरती है हमारे मन, हमारी उलझनों और हमारे रास्तों में।
लेकिन जैसे-जैसे मैं आगे बढ़ा, मुझे लगा कि बात कहीं अधूरी-सी रह जाती है। ऐसा लगा जैसे किसी ने गहरे पानी में सिर्फ उँगली डुबोई हो, गोता नहीं लगाया। किताब में हर श्लोक की व्याख्या मनोविज्ञान के नजरिए से की गई है। यह तरीका अच्छा है, लेकिन गीता सिर्फ मन का विज्ञान नहीं, जीवन का दर्शन भी है।
मुझे यह भी लगा कि किताब की भाषा भले ही आसान है, लेकिन कुछ जगह भाव की गहराई छूटती जाती है। गीता जैसी किताब को समझने में आसानी होनी चाहिए, पर उसे ज़्यादा हल्का बनाना ठीक नहीं। क्योंकि कुछ बातें ऐसी होती हैं जो धीरे-धीरे समझ में आती हैं, जिनके लिए थोड़ा ठहरना और सोचना जरूरी होता है। इस किताब में वह ठहराव थोड़ा कम दिखता है।
शायद मुझे ऐसा इसलिए भी लगा क्योंकि मैंने नरेंद्र कोहली की "अभिज्ञान" पहले पढ़ी है। "अभिज्ञान" भी गीता के कर्म-सिद्धांत पर आधारित है, लेकिन उसकी भाषा, विचार और गहराई कुछ अलग ही स्तर पर हैं। उसमें लेखक ने आज के समाज, शासन और धर्म की समस्याओं को बहुत गहराई से दिखाया है। उसमें कर्म, मेहनत, समानता और न्याय जैसे विषयों को बड़ी सोच के साथ रखा गया है। "मैं गीता हूँ" उस गहराई को पूरी तरह नहीं छू पाती।
अगर इस किताब में हर अध्याय के साथ उस अध्याय के मुख्य श्लोक भी होते, तो यह और असरदार बन सकती थी। कुछ हिस्सों में गीता की असली आवाज़ भी थोड़ी कम महसूस होती है।फिर भी, यह किताब एक अच्छा प्रयास है खासकर उनके लिए जो गीता को हमेशा से भारी और कठिन समझते आए हैं। यह किताब उनका हाथ पकड़कर गीता से मिलवाती है। यह जवाब नहीं देती, बल्कि आपको सही सवालों तक ले जाती है। और कई बार, यही सबसे जरूरी होता है।
कुल मिलाकर, "मैं गीता हूँ" एक सरल, समझने लायक और सोचने वाली किताब है। हो सकता है इसमें सब कुछ ना हो, लेकिन जो है, वो एक अच्छी शुरुआत है।

Truly an eye opener !!
After reading the In-depth psychological explainations of each adhyay, it amazes me how relevant and how helpful it is in dealing with day-to-day challenges that life throws our way and how to have better control on outcome of our actions. I really salute the author for providing such insight & giving rational explanations of all 18-adhyay.
Now I understand why the Bhagwat Gita always has and always will be relavent to each and every human being irrespective of religion or geography.

This is one of the first books I’ve read on the Gita that correlated it’s teachings to our life in today’s world. The exercises given at the end of each chapter were very insightful. I did not connect with the author’s writing style, but the content was good enough to keep me going. Overall, a good book if you want to get started with understanding the Gita.

The psychological aspects of Gita are redefined through this book. This is a stellar explanation of the Gita. It definitely gave answers to all my life's questions and helped me move forward in one direction. Brilliantly written by author Deep Trivedi.

Very repetitive and loopy. It had very little to do with psychology. I like the idea but the length of the book could have been half of what it is.

Repetitive and unengaging. The content is good but feels dull and stuck on the same subject. Couldn't finish it as it didn't hold my interest. Not for me.
