Appreciation
BG 18/81 is a systematic guide to approach the highly philosophical verses of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is. It takes the reader from general understanding of Bhagavad-Gita to specific understanding of the verses, thus making it very easy to interrelate various verses and get the bigger picture. It is important for the reader to know the information given in BG 18/81 while reading Bhagavad-Gita so much so as it is important for the scientist to know the apparatus required while performing an experiment. Using the seed words given in the mind maps on www.manimandala.com along with BG 18/81 is like icing on the cake.

Thank you for making the Gita accessible to everyone through your Interactive Overview. You have taken Bhurijana Prabhu's Surrender Unto Me study guide and made it so simple that even children can grasp our Lord's song. Bravo to your service to Srila Prabhupada's mission!

I just wanted to take some time to express how much I enjoyed being in your class last Kartik.
You truly are an outstanding teacher, when teaching Shastra the first thing you made extra sure is that we understood that Srila Prabhupada’s books are approachable.
Your superb "mind maps" brilliantly planned for simplicity and proficiency. You had us map out an entire canto of Srimad Bhagvatam . In a matter of minutes on a single sheet of paper, lay before us a colourful, comprehensive framework of an entire canto replete with relationships between facts, terms, and ideas.
I will never forget all the fun activities you included in your class to enhance learning. I loved the way you fragmented the material into small digestible bits. It made it so much easier to recall the material when being tested. It gave me such a sense of achievement.
I especially appreciate your material management. Everything required by the students was ready at hand. Everything neatly organized in baskets and packets. The take home notes all in envelopes.
When I left your class that evening I learnt a lot . the Bhagavatam, but also about teaching Bhagvatam , the dedication it takes. I was truly inspired! I returned loving Srila Prabhupda’ s books a little more armed with a tool of self-study and sharing this knowledge with others.
I only wished more devotees could benefit from your teaching ….then this year I saw your book !
I am delighted to see your new book! 18/81 a perfect accompaniment to the Bhagvad Gita . Like a road map . it tells where you are .where you've been and where you are going on your journey through the pages of the Gita. It also offers glimpses of what you might see along the way. Coupled with your website it is an invaluable resource for all teachers, preachers, learners and all in between . It is as if your classroom has expanded! Thank you so much mataji for your gift to all of us.
Eagerly awaiting the Srimad Bhagvatam overview guide.

For Krishna’s devotees remembering verses and sections of Bhagavad gita is
certainly necessary for quick reference in preaching.
To have such a handy book that presents entire Bhagavad gita As It Is in
such a nutshell with mindmaps and eye-catching colored*
letters, picture symbols and colored pages is surely a great asset.
Thanks to Yashoda mataji for this valuable presentation. Hare Krishna.
