Gitayan - A Journey with Bhagwat Gita
Podcast has been there for a long time but for me, it's a completely new medium of expression. I choose it to discuss the only topic I know well about - Bhagwat Gita. I just hope that you find it enjoyable and informative (both at the same time, though not necessarily in the same sequence). Your feedback is of course important to me. Feel free to let me know what you think of it!
