At the link below, for your kind review and comments is a draft of my book
on Karma Yoga. It explains all the verses of the Gita on this topic
exhaustively, focusing on application to householders, professionals,
leaders. Parallel passages from other scriptures are also collected. If the
link does not work (it allows 100 downloads), please let me know

The book is long and complex - so please read chapter 0.0 ("How to Read
this Book") first. Here's a summary-
·         The *Beginner* or lay reader should skim through and focus on
stories and illustrations that illuminate different aspects of Karma Yoga.
Also use ‘Karma Yoga Checklist’ (Section 5.4) for reference. Biographies in
Appendix will be helpful as well.

·         The *Intermediate* reader may skip chapters 1-4 and 13 and read
the rest of the book, *focusing *on the core chapters 8-12. Again, the
Karma Yoga Checklist will be useful.

·         The *Advanced Reader*, who is familiar with various Darshanas,
can read the entire book while keeping on mind that chapters 8-12 are vital
to understanding the practice of Karma Yoga. Chapters 2-3 can be quite
daunting to the reader who is not at home with Hindu Darshana Shāstras.

We all learn through illustrations and stories. To make the book suitable
for self-study, pravachan or satsang, I have added stories, illustrations
from traditional sources after several sections.

For obvious reasons, readers will have differing interpretations and will
disagree with my specific choices from among the many possible. I am open
to corrections and suggestions. I'd be happy to share the Word Document if
you want to correct/annotate and send it back to me. Like my other books,
this one too presents and insider/practitioner perspective on Karma Yoga,
and outsider views are ignored.

Feel free to share it with others. The book originated as a self-study
exercise, for the benefit of my own ātmā. Any suggestions for improvement
or corrections are most welcome. I lay this work at the feet of my elders
and teachers.

This book is a sequel to my general book on Science of Karma (from 2022)
that is also available for free download online at Hindu_Law_Of_Karma
(VishalAgarwal).pdf - Google Drive
