Timeless Teachings for Modern Life
Each quote in Rishi comes with a thoughtful interpretation to help you apply ancient wisdom today.
"Let right deeds be thy motive, not the fruit which comes from them. And live in action! Labour! Make thine acts thy piety, casting all self aside."
Interpretation: We have the right to our actions but not to their outcomes. This teaching frees us from anxiety about results and allows us to act with full presence. When we release attachment to rewards, our work becomes a form of meditation.
"The soul that with a strong and constant calm takes sorrow and takes joy indifferently, lives in the life undying."
Interpretation: True wisdom lies in maintaining inner balance regardless of external circumstances. When we neither cling to pleasure nor recoil from pain, we connect with our eternal nature that exists beyond the fluctuations of daily experience.
"Let a man lift himself by his own Self; let him not lower himself; for he himself is his friend, and he himself is his enemy."
Interpretation: We have the power to either uplift or degrade our own life. The higher mind can be the lower self's greatest ally, or its most dangerous adversary. Responsibility for spiritual growth lies within—no external force can do this work for us.

"In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad-Gita, in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial."
Henry David Thoreau
Author of Walden
"The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind."
Aldous Huxley
Author of Brave New World
"It was the first of books; it was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us."
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ancient Wisdom,
Modern Understanding
The Bhagavad Gita, written over 2,000 years ago, remains one of humanity's most profound texts on life, purpose, and inner peace. Yet its wisdom is often locked behind archaic language and unfamiliar contexts.
Rishi bridges this gap. Each of the 700+ verses is paired with a modern interpretation—accessible, practical, and relevant to the challenges we face today.
Whether you're seeking guidance on work and purpose, navigating difficult emotions, or simply looking for a moment of reflection, Rishi delivers wisdom that speaks to your current state of mind.
The translations used are from Sir Edwin Arnold's "The Song Celestial" (1885), chosen for their poetic beauty and accessibility. The interpretations are crafted to be non-sectarian, focusing on universal truths that transcend any single tradition.
