Gita Daan Seva — The Gift of Knowledge

Gita Daan Seva
Why Gita Daan

The highest gift is transcendental knowledge

Srila Prabhupada called the Bhagavad Gita 'the essence of India's spiritual wisdom.' Bhagavad-Gita As It Is — his definitive translation and commentary — has touched over 40 million lives worldwide and remains the most widely read edition of the Gita in the world.

Through Gita Daan we place this sacred book into the hands of students, prisoners, hostel dwellers and sincere seekers who may never otherwise encounter it. The Gita answers life's deepest questions and gives purpose, hope and Krishna consciousness to everyone who reads it.
