    In this book a path is presented from a problematic position to a solution that lasts eternally. One might be afflicted with negative desires, lust or bad habits, but the Bhagavad-Gītā has a solution to become problem-free, gentle and a truly wise human being. It has always worked, so Kṛṣṇa, the perfect person, states in the Bhagavad-Gītā (4.10): 
“Being freed from attachment, fear and anger, being fully absorbed in Me and taking refuge in Me, many, many persons in the past became purified by knowledge of Me – and thus they all attained transcendental love for Me”. 
This book is designed to build a bridge between mundane and spiritual. A perfect Gentleman was Śrīla Prabhupāda, who expertly shared the ancient wisdom with world. We take refuge in him and learn to understand what we have forgotten, how to be a true gentleman. 
“Gentleman means he must be sober, learned, and thoughtful. That is gentleman. But nowadays, gentleman is different—simply by dress.”
