🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

Technically it shouldn't be a difficult read, but unfortunately didn't understand it fully and it's my fault.
The actual Bhagavad Gita is not in this book, insted it expects that you already know it, so totally my fault. I didn't. 
So it's reading the description without actually knowing the thing.

But you do get the basic ideas and philosophy behind it. 
That there are several scriptures but The Gita talks about the social responsibility, it's about actually doing things because it's your duty.
Arjuna must fight, leave all the worries to Krishna and he must do the actions, because it's his duty.
The most interesting part was that a relationship with gods is a two way relationship. 
A god needs love and respect, and a god loves and respects, both ways.

Now I'll need to read the actual Gita.
