At the heart of Devaki Putra Gitam, Ekam Shastram is a central question: What if humanity has only been reading a small part of an infinite scripture? The book challenges readers to look beyond competing interpretations and consider the possibility of understanding the Gita as a unified and comprehensive system of knowledge.
According to the book's presentation, Rao explores the Gita as a cosmic entity, describing it using concepts such as Dravya, or substance, and Gunas, or properties. The work proposes examining the Gita from a “Third-Person Omniscient” perspective, with the intention of exploring the text beyond the limitations of individual interpretations.
The book also addresses several major philosophical and intellectual themes. One section explores what Krishna's references to other scriptures could mean and presents this as a possible key to understanding the structure of the Gita. The author connects ancient philosophical frameworks, including Padartha Shastra, with concepts from modern physics. Another major theme is the relationship between Advaita, Dvaita, and Visishta-Advaita. Rather than treating these traditions as necessarily contradictory, the book proposes viewing them as different facets of a single, infinite reality.
Rao further examines the relationship between Dharma, Karma, and Time, presenting what the book describes as “Cosmic Constants” and approaching these ideas through logical, scientific, and experiential perspectives.
Devaki Putra Gitam, Ekam Shastram is available in hardback, paperback, and ebook formats, making the work accessible to readers across different preferences. Editions are currently available in English, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, and Marathi, while Sanskrit and Gujarati editions are scheduled to be released shortly.
A limited-edition collectible version in the form of an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) is also available for collectors interested in owning a digital collectible connected with the work.
