In the world of business education and self-development, few voices blend academic depth with spiritual clarity as gracefully as Dr. Nalini V. Dave. A retired professor from the Department of Commerce and Business Administration at Saurashtra University, Rajkot, she has spent over 25 years mentoring postgraduate students and guiding M.Phil. and Ph.D. scholars.
A Powerful Message for a Pressured Generation
With her seventh book, Message of Bhagvad Geeta to the Youth, Dr. Dave speaks directly to the young minds of today—students, job seekers, professionals, and aspiring leaders. In a fast-paced world filled with stress and pressure, she brings forward the calming guidance of Karmayoga, as taught in the Bhagavad Geeta.
Not a Religious Text—But a Practical Guide
Dr. Dave is clear: “Geeta is not a religious book—it’s a guide for life.” She explains how its timeless lessons help readers choose the right kind of work, approach it with the right mindset, and deal with outcomes—success or failure—without fear or stress.
Written with Devotion, Despite Personal Pain
The book was written in under a year, often between 2 PM to 5 PM daily, sometimes in the early mornings. But what makes it even more special is that Dr. Dave worked through severe pain from a spinal fracture and still managed to complete the manuscript within three months of her injury.
An Author with a Record of Achievement
Dr. Dave’s work has been recognised by top institutions. She received two awards from the Institute of Chartered Accountants for her research papers and two Bhaikaka Awards in international academic competitions. Her paper on the Gujarat textile industry earned her a seat at a Central Government panel on industrial sickness. Over the years, she has spoken at universities and colleges across India.
In 2024, Dr. Nalini V. Dave was honoured as one of the Top 50 Most Influential Authors of 2024 by Delhi Wire, a recognition that celebrates her lasting contribution to literature and her impact on young readers across the country.
A Voice that Still Reaches Many
Although health concerns have paused her new writing projects, Dr. Dave continues to teach Bhagavad Geeta and Vivek Chudamani through audio clips shared on social media in both English and Gujarati. Her goal is simple: to help young people handle life with clarity, calmness, and strength.
Why This Book Matters Now
This book is timely and relevant for anyone facing pressure in their career or studies. It shows how ancient knowledge can help us stay balanced in modern life. As she says, “Know how to select your karma, on what basis, with what attitude—and your life will become stress-free and meaningful.”
