Chhota Govindpur’s Roshan Jha honored for transforming Bhagavad Gita into Hindi Chaupais, attains Rashtra Gaurav Shri Award.
JAMSHEDPUR – Roshan Jha’s "Gita Amrit," a book written in Hindi Chaupais format, encapsulates the literary elegance and spiritual wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, striking chords with its readers.
The time-honored text’s transformative power is demonstrated by this achievement, which has earned Jha widespread praise.
Jha took great measures to ensure the authenticity and integrity of each verse by consulting various sources, including the original Bhagavad Gita and religious translations by ISKCON and Swami Dayanand.
His determination to preserve the primary ideas and emotions of each verse was unwavering.
Jha, a native of Bihar’s Rajgram in the Madhubani region, started this labor of love on October 22, 1995.
His sustained devotion and deep reverence for the Bhagavad Gita fueled his 27-year quest, in which he never once faltered.
He was inspired to compose the Bhagavad Gita verses in the Chaupais style, a characteristic attribute of renowned poet Tulsidas, comprising four stanzas of 16 syllables each, ending in a Guru.
Roshan Jha, a resident of Chhota Govindpur, has thus been awarded the prestigious "Rashtra Gaurav Shri" Award by Parivartan Yogesh (National, Cultural, and Social Welfare Institution) in New Delhi.
His 27 years of relentless work translating the 700 verses of the Bhagavad Gita into Hindi Chaupais earned him this distinction.
