This book is based on the teachings of Bhagavad Gita, one of the most widely read books in the world. In today''s busy life, we hardly get any time to meditate deeper into the meaning and purpose of life. We tend to take certain things for granted such as our status, wealth, educational achievements, etc. and also presume that they will be given to us in our next birth. But scriptures do not endorse this view. All our possessions, or the lack of them, are the result of our karma in the previous births. We rewrite our destiny everyday for our future births. Hence, we should decide our actions in accordance with the teachings of the scriptures and not allow our materialistic aspirations to distort our understanding and conduct in this world. Also one should not wait till the old age to start reading the scriptures. The right age to read scriptures is as early as one gets the consciousness so as to minimise the loss of deep, illuminating thoughts which an insightful reading of the Bhagavad Gita entails and hence, engage in righteous actions. The divine wisdom of Lord Krishna, encapsulated in the Bhagavad Gita, is addressed to each and every individual to help solve perplexing problems and progress towards a brighter future.

Sustained economic growth and social stability are the key drivers of Chinese policy since 1978. China''s economic reforms have gradually opened up its economy to both international trade and foreign direct investment and allowed the emergence of a non- public sector alongside the public sector. Ongoing reforms have been given added impetus by China''s membership of the WTO in 2001. However, it is also evident that over the years, while Chinese government has been trying to use the power of the market to spur economic growth and allocate resources efficiently, it is also cautious to retain ultimate control over the over-all directions of the market so that their key policies can be implemented. This book is an attempt to provide insight into the changes that have been taking place in China right before our eyes during the last three decades in general and the last decade in particular. This text also portrays the sense of momentum, complexity, and historical context that underpins China''s contemporary ascendance as a global economic and political force since joining the WTO in 2001.
