Ritesh Nigam

Ritesh Nigam is a visionary author, publisher, and mentor who is passionate about bridging ancient wisdom with modern lifestyles. Born in Bhopal, India, Ritesh nurtured a deep curiosity for spirituality and philosophy, which inspired his transformative journey with the Bhagavad Gita.

A former IT professional and alumnus of Barkatullah University, Ritesh spent 18 years in London, where he observed how religious texts were approached differently across cultures. This experience fueled his vision to reimagine the Bhagavad Gita in an innovative journal format that combines simplicity, creativity, and personalization.

His book, Shrimad Bhagwad SwaGita, is a testament to his mission of making the profound teachings of the Gita accessible to readers of all backgrounds. With simplified translations, interactive prompts, and captivating mandalas, SwaGita invites readers to embark on their own unique spiritual journeys.

The intricate mandalas and artistic elements featured in SwaGita were beautifully created by his wife, Aditi Ritesh, whose creativity brings the spiritual essence of the book to life. Together, Ritesh and Aditi have crafted a visually engaging and deeply meaningful work that transcends traditional formats.

Ritesh’s personal journey with the Gita spans over 15 years, during which he discovered the transformative power of writing one shloka a day. This practice not only deepened his understanding of the Gita but also inspired the creation of SwaGita.

Beyond being an author, Ritesh is a dedicated mentor to aspiring writers, helping them bring their creative visions to life. He firmly believes in the power of storytelling and creative expression to inspire change and foster self-discovery.

Ritesh lives with his family, continually drawing inspiration from his wife, Aditi, his life experiences, and his quest for spiritual growth. Through Shrimad Bhagwad SwaGita, he invites readers to pick up a pen, reflect deeply, and make the timeless teachings of the Gita their own.
