BOOK RELEASE FOR
THIRUPPAVAI – GODA’S GITA

Everyone would like to learn the essence of the Bagawad Gita but, with over 700 slokams in the Bagawad Gita, it’s not an easy text to study; but, what if there was a simpler way to learn the Bagawad Gita?           
            The Bagawad Gita is the essence of the Upanishads, part of the Sanskrit Vedas. The Sanskrit Vedas are called as ‘marai” in Tamil because it is not easy to decipher the meaning of the verses easily as they contain many hidden meanings. The AzhwAr Saints revealed the meaning of the Vedic Verses in Tamil. They composed the pasurams in such a way that it is easy to understand the meaning of the Sanskrit Vedas.
            The Thiruppavai is an anthology part of the Tamil Vedas called as 4000 Divya Prabandhams. It was composed by Andal (Goda Nachiar) who is none other than Goddess Bhumi Devi.  ThiruppAvai has 30 Paasurams and it is eulogised as GodhOpanishad since it summarises the sacred meanings of the Upanishads in just 30 verses.
            With the blessings of my preceptors, I have brought out the commentary of the Godopanishad in the format of a novel – conversation between Goda and her friends. Today I have released the first volume of Thiruppavai – Goda’s Gita. The commentary is based on formal lectures attended by me. A copy of the forewords from my acharyans is attached with this release.
The book can be purchased from amazon. The book is available in paperback and kindle ebook format.

Please see a preview of the book attached with this book release.
