About Nitya

Nitya (meaning "eternal" or "daily" in Sanskrit) was created with a simple mission: to make the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs.

We believe that the Gita's teachings on duty, action, and inner peace are more relevant today than ever before. In a world filled with distractions and anxiety, these ancient verses offer practical guidance for living a meaningful life.

We take a scholarly yet accessible approach to presenting the Bhagavad Gita. Our content is developed through careful study of multiple authoritative sources including:

• Classical commentaries by Adi Shankaracharya, Ramanujacharya, and Madhvacharya
• Modern scholarly translations by S. Radhakrishnan and Swami Vivekananda
• Academic research from leading universities and Indology departments
• Traditional Vedantic teachings from established spiritual lineages

Every explanation is reviewed for accuracy against these sources while being adapted for contemporary understanding. We maintain fidelity to traditional interpretations while making them relevant for modern readers.

The Bhagavad Gita contains 700 verses of profound wisdom. Reading it all at once can be overwhelming. But one verse a day? That's manageable. That's sustainable. That's transformative.

By focusing on a single verse each day, you give yourself time to truly absorb its meaning, reflect on its relevance to your life, and carry that wisdom with you throughout your day.

Over time, this daily practice builds into a deep understanding of the Gita's complete teachings — not as abstract philosophy, but as lived wisdom.

The Sanskrit verses are from the original Bhagavad Gita as it has been preserved for thousands of years in the Mahabharata tradition. Translations are adapted from various public domain sources and classical commentaries, including works by:

• Sir Edwin Arnold's "The Song Celestial"
• Swami Sivananda's commentary
• Gita Press, Gorakhpur editions
• Dr. S. Radhakrishnan's scholarly translation

The modern explanations and life applications are original content created by the Nitya team, drawing inspiration from traditional interpretations while making the teachings accessible to contemporary readers.

We value feedback from our community of readers and practitioners. Whether you have suggestions, corrections, or want to share how the Gita has impacted your life, we'd love to hear from you.
