He said when the Bhagavad Gita was born there was conflict and many feel that humanity is passing through similar conflict and challenges now, the prime minister said.

"The world is fighting a tough battle against a once-in-a-lifetime global pandemic. The economic and social impacts are also far reaching. In such a time, the path shown in Bhagavad Gita becomes ever relevant," he asserted.

It could provide strength and direction to once again emerge victorious from the challenges humanity faces, he said.

"In India, we saw many instances of this. Our people-powered fight against COVID-19, the outstanding spirit of the people, the courage of citizens, one can say that behind this is a glimpse of what the Gita highlights," he said.

Noting that Ebooks are becoming very popular specially among the youth, the prime minister said that this effort will connect more youngsters with the noble thoughts of the Gita.

The beauty of the Gita is in its depth, diversity, and flexibility, he said.
