When faced with a major problem or a group of problems, it`s natural to look it up, to research it, to `Google it`.
Because, with the Internet in particular, we know there’s bound to be some answers out there.
But in self-improvement, acquiring detailed knowledge of personal growth principles is only part of the solution we need.
If we aren`t vigilant, excessive study of personal development theory can end up being a substitute for taking concrete action on our problems.
It makes sense to research the medical symptoms we have been experiencing, but it`s essential to see the doctor as well.
Reading or watching videos about how to write is important, but it’s vital to make ourselves write a few words, lines, sentences each day.
It’s logical to absorb as much information as we can about spirituality, but if we don`t practise it through actions, we are engaged in a superficial exercise.
Action is the foundation of any successful self-actualization effort.

If your self-improvement or self-actualization program includes a desire to learn more about various Eastern spiritual programs and/or religions, such as the Bhagavad Gita, there are two websites that may interest you.
Taken together they provide considerable detail on the Bhagavad Gita, which is a 700-verse Hindu scripture in Sanskrit. It is divided into chapters and is part of the Hindu epic Mahabharata.
The BHAGAVAD-GITA in English website provides a succinct explanation of each chapter plus the following information on each verse of each chapter:
(1) Original Sanskrit
(2) A vocalization of the verse
(3) Transliteration
(4) Translation in a variety of languages
Here is the link:

The other site, The Bhagavad Gita As Is offers very detailed explanations/exposition of the chapters and verses. It is also available in a number of languages.
