Deeapk Manchanda, a Jammu born computer engineer has history of two decades of selling franchiseesin Canada, USA, Caribbean, Middle East and India for largest organizations in career training industry. However, in his free time he writes on spirituality and his work is well appreciated. He has his own creative way of reaching to people by presenting difficult information in an easy format.
In an exclusive interview with Daily Excelsior, Deepak talked about his 14 minute of video “Yoga in Bhagwat Gita’ in Hindi and English, which is on Youtube and getting popular world-wide. He said that, this video doesn’t teach Bhagwat Gita Shalok by Shalok but teaches its gist.
What was the one thing in the Gita which became. The reason to share this knowledge in this format?
The Gita teaches that we all are spirits and will be judged by God based on our deeds after this life. After reading this, many a time I wished that if as a kid, if my parents or someone elder in my family have taught me that I will be judged for my deeds, I would have avoided many decisions and actions in my life, which I took and regret.
Through this video I would like to at least put this consciousness in today’s generation’s mind, so that they don’t blame that they didn’t have this knowledge and can take a preventive measure of keeping their life disciplined rather regretting and taking a corrective method.
What are the objectives of its creation?
Objective is to explain and share the gist of the Bhagwat Gita in the simplest form which is understandable by a 10 years old kid.Other reason is to satisfy our Curiosity regarding of “Who am I” and “What is the purpose of my life”.
The video also attempts to explain true meaning of word “Yoga” which means ‘Oneness with God’ rather than explaining about Aasnas or special body postures as is perceived in the Western society.
What does the video show and where is it available?
Video starts with displaying basic information like how many chapters of Gita has, when, who and why Gita was revealed to the complex topics like pillars of life, purpose of life, liberation from life and death and 3 types of different Yogas.
It is available at YouTube

What are your expectations form this project?
From grade 1 until we graduate from college or University we read 120 to 130 academic books. I wish if this video could make people inquisitive to read even one of the Spiritual or religious books in which one has faith.I am sure it will not only bring tolerance towards different faiths but will enforce moral values in us which may have been ignored and are reason for our own emotional miseries. It will also improve our decisions and actions.
Do you have any other projects or are you working on any other project?
I have two other videos on Consciousness and Happiness, which are on internet and YouTube.
