A Nine-Year-Old's Gita
Posted on April 30, 2005 in pilgrim-baroda.
Scholars after scholars have spent entire lifetimes deciphering the Bhagvad Gita. But here is a unschooled, village woman asking her nine-year-old son to translate it. Sure enough, that kid starts to translate it. He gets to the end of chapter 2 and tells his mom, "Mom, I don't understand this yet but I will keep trying."
22 years later, he finished the translation of the Gita. That nine-year-old now had become a spiritual gaint by the name of Vinoba Bhave.
