Devdutt encapsulates the meaning of one of Hinduism’s greatest texts in an accessible, understandable and profoundly compassionate way. He brings to life the ageless comfort of Krishna’s sayings: whatever is meant to happen will happen. Don’t expect to be perfect. You cannot blame anyone else for what will happen to you.
