In the world of spiritual books, few scriptures are as widely read and respected as the Bhagavad Gita. Sunita Malhotra and her co-author Anuradha Mahajan are on a mission to share its teachings. Their book, TVAM, focuses on the message of the first six chapters of the Bhagavad Gita, explaining its Vedic concepts and esoteric meanings in an easy-to-understand way.
Meet the Authors
Sunita Malhotra has a background in Physics, having graduated 43 years ago. She has always been curious about how science and spirituality come together to explain the Fundamental Truth in different ways. As a homemaker and a long-time volunteer with the Art of Living Foundation in Bahrain, she became a teacher in 2022. Her goal is to help others find joy through the “Happiness Program.”
Anuradha, Sunita’s co-author, brings her own experiences to the book. Together, they want to make the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita accessible to a wide audience.
The Inspiration for TVAM
In 2019, Sunita began teaching online classes, explaining the message of Bhagavad Gita to students of different nationalities and faiths. This experience helped her to dive deeper into the Gita Study. Both authors felt inspired to share what they learned so that more people could benefit from these teachings.
Making Complex Ideas Simple
One of the best things about TVAM is the clarity. Sunita enjoys teaching and focuses on making tough ideas easy to understand. She created over 100 charts, 58 of which are in the book. These tables are an effective way to present the complex concepts in a structured manner, making them easier to read and comprehend.
