A note from the founder
My mother has read the same worn Gita for thirty years. I wanted to make her one that looked the way those words feel, one she would keep in the mandir and one day pass to my children. That is the book we made. If anything about your order isn't right, message me on WhatsApp and I will fix it myself.
— founder, House of Vyasa
