Mr. Sarker has the greatest quest of learning about the tenets and teachings of Bhagavad Gita, the holy book of beauty and wisdom, spiritual book of humanity to shake up his spiritual door of ignorance.  His dream is to leave a platform for the world-renowned researchers and scholars of Vedic philosophy to diffuse knowledge and wisdom of peace and harmony to our contemporary social settings. 

Life, love and light these three pristine straits of human being described to Parthiva Arjun throughout in eighteen chapters of Bhagavad Gita by the supreme Godhead, Lord Krisnha, the first father of mankind. Mr. Sarker arguably believes that Bhagavad Gita is all about mind, body and soul of an individual that drive action. Therefore, self-esteem is paramount important to remain respectful to others.

Bhagavad Gita verse 2.9: Na yotsya iti Govindam
(I shall not fight this battle)

Through the epic hero, Parthiva Arjuna, a role model of the then society of Kuru kingdom, decline to engage himself to fight the battle but Lord Krihsna inspired him by showing His Dibya Dristi to fight the battle as it is his birth rights to rehabilitate, re-built and re-construct the war-torn human society, so that this internecine battle never happens again in the fore-seeing future.
