I was able to face the challenges as External Affairs Minister only because of the teachings of Bhagavad Gita.

Bhagavad Gita has answers to everybody's problems and that's why I said it while standing in the Parliament that, ' *Shrimad Bhagwad Gita' should be declared as the national holy book.* 

Everyone should read two shlokas of Gita everyday...it is a  scripture of 700 shlokas and it can be finished in a year. Read it again and continue this till the end. After reading it three to four times, you will discover a path to lead a life, the way I discovered...

But when I read it for the third and fourth time, I understood its meaning. This has helped me all through my life. Even now, when I am handling the External Affairs and the challenges related to it...
