What happens when the doctor becomes the patient—and everything she thought she could control suddenly disappears?

Mammogram and the Mantra is the true story of a physician whose life changed with a diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer. She had spent decades giving medical advice. Apparently, life decided it was time she tried taking some.

As she faced her own unexpected battlefield, the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita became her guide—and Krishna became her charioteer.

Following the Gita’s eighteen chapters through her cancer journey, Asmeeta Punwani brings its profound teachings to life in a simple, relatable, and often humorous way. Somewhere along the way, something unexpected happened: she began falling deeply in love with Krishna. What began as a search for strength became a journey of devotion.

Should life ever lead you down a road you never expected, perhaps the love and timeless wisdom within these pages can reach out and gently hold your hand—just as they held hers—and remind you that, whatever lies ahead, you need not face it alone.
