Being An Avatar is A Choice

Worldwide Shrimad Bhagvad Gita has been acclaimed as one of the scriptures that stands the tallest in spirituality. The Bhagavad Gita is special because it is narrated in a very worldly, very practical setting. The outcome of the conversation would decide actively the fate of many million residents of the kingdom, not merely to get entered academically in some pages of another holy book. Though this scripture is centuries old, commentaries given by Acharya Prashant makes it convenient for today's generation to understand it in context of their daily life.
