Vijayshree Ratanparkhe’s journey with spirituality has been deeply rooted in everyday life, growing up in a large joint family where love, challenges, and togetherness were experienced in abundance. From a young age, she felt a quiet connection with the divine, which later blossomed into a lifelong exploration of the Bhagavad Gita.
Through the Gita, Vijayshree discovered that love is not just an emotion—it is a conscious practice, expressed through truth, service, presence, compassion, and selfless giving. These timeless teachings inspired her to translate spiritual wisdom into practical guidance for nurturing relationships, strengthening bonds, and deepening understanding between people.
Her writing reflects real-life dynamics, drawing on the joys, conflicts, and tender moments of family life, while integrating the transformative principles of the Gita. In this book, she explores the Five Sacred Expressions of Love—Satya, Seva, Sangha, Sparsha, and Dana—showing how these spiritual practices can enrich everyday interactions, foster empathy, and cultivate harmony in the heart and home.
Some of her guiding verses from the Bhagavad Gita include:
• “Perform your duty without attachment to its fruits.” (2.47)
• “The yogi dwells in steady awareness and calm, controlling the mind and senses.” (6.10–15)
• “One who sees Me in all, and all in Me, is never separated from Me.” (6.30)
• “Offer even a leaf, a flower, a fruit, or water to Me with devotion; this offering reaches Me.” (9.26)
Through this book, Vijayshree hopes to inspire readers to express love consciously, honor each person’s unique nature, and build relationships that reflect both compassion and spiritual awareness—reminding us that every act of love is also a step toward inner growth and connection with the Divine.
