Even as a child I just could not believe the translations and interpretations of Krishna by the general populace. I always knew somehow that certain interpretations were simply to suit the priests, the rituals , temples and all the businesses, monetary and kind , that go on in the guise of praying to Krishna. This book is actually an English translation of a series of his lectures called Geeta Darshan in Hindi. Those lectures were more than 150 hours and this book is a concise translated version of them. All queries and doubts , all questions regarding the Geeta., all so called esoteric myths about Krishna are explained here very simply but in great details. Such great detail that sometimes I had to shut the book , shut my eyes for a long time and absorb and understand points. This book is not for people who who are not open minded and who are weighed down by legends and superstition and blind faith. This is for people who want to get a psychological point of view on Krishna and their own lives. Krishna is simply you, you're simply Krishna Enjoy!

If you have nothing to do: call a friend and speak for 2 hours or go out for dinner or go out for a long stroll or read a fairy tale to your kids or do the dishes or laundry or sit with your old parent or grandparents and let them reminisce about their days for a few hours or wash your car (even if you've washed it yesterday!) Or read a book for the 4th time or go out and feed the poor or spend a few hours talking with the homeless about how they became homeless. Or call someone that you detest and usually avoid because you can't stand him/her or patch up with a certified enemy of yours , ask forgiveness and mercy from him/her or read a book on the reality of life or read the Rig Ved or Kathopnishad or take up Buddhism and give up everything you have or take up Sanyaas and Vanvaas at the same time and settle down in a forest of your choice or pay a stranger on the street a really good amount to verbally abuse you , humiliate you , insult you or go to a taekwondo class and ask the senior students to beat you up in the name of conditioning or go around the city donating food to the hungry or the greedy or anyone who wants to eat. Then finally do something very very important: Google "how to anhilate, destroy , bring down to dust a warped human being who calls himself a movie director, who has all the resources of choicest scripts and actors money , locations , choicest production design and technicians, who then ultimately makes something which can't be termed a movie". Basically do what you've been wanting to do since childhood but DO NOT WATCH THIS WHATEVER AND HUMILIATE AND INSULT YOUR SENSIBILITIES

Nothing great on the story idea level . The screenplay and the treatment of the film wasn't bad though. Cinematic elements like a crisp editing , apt lighting according to the scene and good background score keeps this movie alive. The story itself is quite warped and illogical even to an illogical mind. Leave your mind at home , erase whatever you have known about this world and then go watch it , you might tolerate it. I saw it in IMAX so it was worth it .
