Better Late than Never
I read this speech by Alex Stepenov,Principal Scientist,Adobe Sys. almost 18 months back and was 
inspired a lot by this.I was always thinking to write about this especially about getting back to our roots but could never do it.Finally..
In this speech he specifically mentions about reading our(India) literature Bhagavad Gita.Probably one might think that he tried to impress the eastern audience with this but the fact is Bhagavad Gita was available from eons ago and it is perennial source of knowledge at any point of era.
It is just the view of the reader or audience which has been changing everytime.There are different perceptions about the book from the book and probably it has the most no:of commentaries by the authors in the world.If the audience is actually identified then it might be ‘Best Seller’ NYtimes list for ever.But for the reasons we all know this cant happen,,
- Holy Scripture
- Management Guide
- Oath(Indian Courts)
- Reference Guide in Talks
- Scripts for Movies and Serials
- Pillow for comfort
- Link for ancient culture
Some readers even think that this books was written by some recent author or by Shri Krishna himself.But this book is like the graduation speech deliverd by the eminent speaker at the colleges.
Lord Krishna did not state that he is going to TEACH bhagavad gita to Arjuna.But he tried to instill the confidence,support and so many intangilble things in Arjuna not in a palace or Forest but in the Battle Field without a podium 
And this book is now in the FT Recommended Readings List.
Who Should not read this book?
One who is prejudiced and one who lives the life of Frog in the well can comfortably avoid this book
