An abusive marriage, a divorce and the subsequent emotional, mental and social fallout forced Geetanjali Pandit to question all her assumptions about romance and relationships.

Buddha in Love distils all she learnt. We are not born relationship-ready; they take work--and contrary to what you might expect, on yourself. What does it take to be in a loving relationship? Do all relationships look the same? Does a relationship equate to happiness? Why and when should you marry?

In this vulnerable narrative, Geetanjali takes her story as a starting point to answer all these stories. Featuring conversations with Gautam and based on the Buddha's teachings, Buddha in Love is infused with the real-life experiences of others and anchored in practical wisdom.

This unique book will gently guide you through the terrain of love.
