The Ethical Leader’s Gita
The Bhagavad Gita for Those Who Lead, One Verse at a Time
There are decisions where you already know the right answer and you can also see exactly what it will cost you. Those are the hardest ones anybody in charge has to make. The Bhagavad Gita has more to say about them than anything else I have read.
700 verses, one page each, in an 880-page hardback. ₹4,550 including courier charges within India. Ships from 26 October 2026.
One verse a morning is enough
Every verse of the Bhagavad Gita has a page of its own in this book. Each page holds three things, and together they take a few unhurried minutes.
The Verse
The Sanskrit, a transliteration you can say aloud, and the meaning in plain English and in Hindi.
The Teaching
What the verse asks of a person who leads others, with one line to hold through the day.
Reflect
A question to sit with for a minute, before the day pulls you elsewhere.
From the forewords
“The book is able to connect eternal principles with the realities of daily life.”
Professor, Human Resource Management, IIM Ahmedabad
“This book is a great read and a must for every leader who wants to contribute to society in a positive way.”
Professor and Chairperson, Organisational Behaviour Area, IIM Ahmedabad
I am Hyuma Mahadevia
I live in Ahmedabad with my wife and our two daughters, and I lead our family business. I am an IRONMAN and an IRONMAN Certified Coach, and I write about the Bhagavad Gita and about leading a company from the inside.
For years I owned a beautiful copy of the Bhagavad Gita and never read it the way it deserves. This book is what happened when I finally tried.
