MCLEAN, Va. - Sept. 27, 2020 - The upcoming 4th Global Bhagavad Gita Convention 2020 (GBGC) will feature the well accomplished Computer Engineer-turned-journalist and author, and one of India's best-known authors for children, Roopa Pai, who has written on a diverse range of subjects for children.
The Bhagavad Gita is a sovereign response of the inmost dimension of human personality to the crisis of emotions and paralyzing fears when life's course begins to stifle individuals beyond measure. The Convention is designed to enlighten and empower individuals, stimulating in them an abiding interest in Bhagavad Gita to make it an anchor, support, and guide for one's life.
GBGC will be held this year as an online event from October 10 - 12, 2020. The theme of the Convention this year is Insights into Bhagavad Gita - Universal message for Freedom & Fearlessness. The Convention is being organized by Center for Inner Resources Development - North America under the guidance of Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha, a renowned Spiritual Master from India. Ms. Pai will be sharing her insights on the topic 'Raising Fearless Children - The Bhagavad Gita Way' on Day 3 of the Convention on Oct 12, 2020.
Ms. Roopa Pai, a Bangalore-based author, has written on a diverse range of subjects for children with over 25 published books that include India's first fantasy-adventure series for children 'Taranauts', and the national bestseller 'The Gita for Children' (which also won the 2016 Crossword Award for children's writing) listed by Amazon India as one of '100 Indian Books To Read In A Lifetime'. Its prequel 'The Vedas And Upanishads For Children' was also a major success. Her TEDx talk 'Decoding The Gita, India's Book Of Answers' has received over 1.5 million views to date. Ms. Pai's writing ranges from picture books to chapter books and fiction to nonfiction, on themes as varied as sci-fi fantasy, popular science, mathematics, history, economics, Indian philosophy, life skills, and most recently, medicine. Many of her books are bestsellers and are enjoyed as much by adults as by children.
The Convention will feature three days of positive, life-transforming knowledge sessions, which will lead us to a discovery of our inmost core that is an infinite source of wisdom and strength. The practical wisdom that is ancient, yet completely relevant in the contemporary world, is shared through direct, first-hand experiences by spiritual masters and distinguished professionals from various fields.
