About the Book:

This fascinating book explores the intriguing connection between ancient Vedic knowledge and modern scientific discoveries, particularly the Big Bang theory. It raises the question: did the Vedic sages and mystic founders of Indian religion understand the Big Bang long before modern science discovered it?

The book is divided into two parts:

1. A Poetic Rendering of the Gita: Simplified in English for easy understanding and accessibility.
2. An Introductory Essay: This discusses the Big Bang theory and its parallels with the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita. The essay delves into the emerging convergence of science and spirituality, a concept gaining acceptance in modern times.

This book is a scholarly attempt to bring together these twin disciplines, offering insights that resonate with intelligent readers worldwide.
