I Heard About Bhagavad Gita Very Early In My Childhood, From The Age Of Five Onwards. It Was One Of The Earliest Things I Started To Read When I Started To Read. And It Was Very Much A Part Of My Consciousness. In The Beginning, I Saw The "bhagavad Gita" As A Text That Was Very Classical, Much Like The "iliad" And The "odyssey" - A Mythical Saga That Showed The Eternal Conflict Between Good And Evil. But Much Later, As I Grew Up, I Realized That It Was Much More Than That.
