Bookshelf/Arvind Inamdar
When he says ``It's my mother's gift to me. It has been with me since I was six. Initially I only recited it. Then, I began understanding it and today I am a devotee,'' Arvind Inamdar is speaking about one of his all-time favourite books, the Bhagwad Geeta. He reads it every day because he believes ``in times of trouble, the Geeta comes to your rescue.'' He says: ``It's one book that has taught me a detached view of life.''Other three books he can't do without were, however, not recommended: he found them on his own. The content and language of Dnyaneshwari and Saint Dnyaneshwar's height of imagination amaze Inamdar. The saint is one of the two personalities every Maharashtrian must know, according to him. The other is, of course, Chhatrapati Shivaji. -- Anagha Sawant Copyright © 1999 Indian Express Newspapers (Bombay) Ltd.
