It starts with ordinary people facing everyday problems-stress at work, doubts about their purpose, fear of failure. Each story introduces a moment when life feels overwhelming, and then a quiet guide appears, offering simple wisdom from an ancient text.
I picked it up thinking it would be another heavy spiritual book, but it surprised me. The stories felt real, relatable, and never preachy. It’s like someone translated timeless lessons into the life we actually live-between traffic jams, deadlines, and overthinking.
By the end, I found myself pausing to reflect on my choices, my fears, and my small battles. Somehow, it felt like a friend quietly guiding me.

Reading Gita on the Go felt like having Krishna’s wisdom explained in the most human and relatable way. Instead of heavy philosophy, the author weaves the timeless truths of the Bhagavad Gita into real, everyday struggles- guilt, healing, self-worth, family expectations, and finding purpose.
What I loved most is how the book speaks in stories.
You meet people like Pragya, an acid-attack survivor reclaiming dignity in a judgmental society, and Aakash, a young food delivery boy with wisdom beyond his years.
Each character’s journey quietly asks us the question: “What is my dharma now?”
Every verse in the book feels like Krishna whispering gentle guidance: ego, desire, and attachment are not our masters, they are just tests. The real victory is learning to master our own mind, act with devotion, and let go of results.
This is not just a book of philosophy, it’s a guide for daily life. It left me with more peace, clarity, and strength to face today’s noisy world. A beautiful, refreshing way to experience the Gita.

Gita on the Go turned out to be one of those books that quietly stays with you long after you’ve closed it. What I liked most was how it took something as vast and intimidating as the Bhagavad Gita and wove it into modern, everyday struggles—without ever sounding preachy. The stories of Pragya, Maryam, and Aakash felt raw and relatable, and I could see parts of myself (and people I know) in their dilemmas. The character of Kannan, guiding them almost invisibly, was a clever touch—it never felt forced, more like a gentle nudge in the right direction.
That said, a couple of the stories felt a little rushed, and I sometimes wished the author had lingered longer on the emotions or conflicts. But the overall effect was still moving and thought-provoking. It doesn’t give you ready-made answers; rather, it makes you pause and reflect—“What is my dharma now?” And honestly, that’s the beauty of it.
This isn’t just a book for those interested in philosophy; it’s for anyone trying to make sense of life’s chaos. A fresh, heartfelt, and surprisingly comforting read.

The Gita Reimagined for the Modern Soul
Gita on the Go is one of those rare books that quietly finds you when you need it most.
Aakriti Bansal has taken the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and woven it into eleven beautifully human stories — stories of confusion, loss, ambition, guilt, and hope — the same emotions that define our modern lives.
What makes this book special is its simplicity. The lessons don’t come through lectures or verses, but through Kannan, a calm, mysterious presence who reminds you of the peace that comes from understanding rather than reacting. Every conversation feels like a mirror — you’ll find pieces of your own life in these pages.
It’s not just a retelling of the Gita; it’s a reminder that its teachings are still alive, breathing, and deeply relevant.
Each story leaves you a little quieter, a little more centered — like a deep breath after a long day.
If you’ve ever wanted to experience the Bhagavad Gita not as scripture, but as guidance for real life, this book is a beautiful place to start.

Instead of verses and sermons, it speaks through people we might actually know—an acid-attack survivor reclaiming herself, a woman torn between guilt and freedom, a young boy carrying the weight of a family too soon.
What I loved is how the Gita isn’t treated like scripture here—it’s treated like a voice of quiet clarity. Through the mysterious Kannan, each story turns into a mirror, gently asking: What is my dharma in this moment?
It’s not preachy, not heavy—just deeply human and unexpectedly grounding. If you've ever felt stuck between who you are and who you’re supposed to be, this book hits home in a very real, modern way.

Gita on the Go by Aakriti Bansal takes the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and makes it easy to understand and apply in daily life. The language is simple and modern, so you don't feel like you're reading a heavy spiritual text.
What I liked is how it connects ancient ideas to things we actually deal with today-stress, self-doubt, purpose. It feels more like a companion you can pick up anytime rather than a book you struggle through, which makes the title fit perfectly.
If you are going throgh tough times, this should be your must read.
