Before every battle outside, there is one within.
Tripti Priya is an observer first — then a mother, writer, and seeker of knowledge — whose life gracefully blends learning, reflection, and a deep understanding of spirituality. She is passionate about working in the field of modern family dynamics, children’s upbringing, and the evolving journey of parents.
Born and brought up in Ranchi, Jharkhand, Tripti grew up with strong values and a curious mind. A graduate of St. Xavier’s College, Ranchi, she developed an early love for learning — not just from books, but from people, experiences, and life itself. Her passion for gathering knowledge and her insight into human nature continue to shape both her worldview and her writing.
With a keen interest in astrology and the pursuit of wisdom, Tripti believes that every challenge holds a lesson and every question leads to growth. Her work reflects this constant search for meaning and clarity in the midst of everyday life.
A devoted mother of two beautiful boys, Achintya and Aekansh, she writes with the lived honesty of a parent who has experienced both wonder and weariness. Her journey as a mother inspired her deeper purpose — to support parents, especially mothers, who are often seen as superwomen but silently struggle for emotional understanding and societal support.
Through her words, Tripti hopes to spark awareness that raising children is not a one-person battle, but a shared responsibility — one that thrives on compassion, community, and empathy. Her voice is gentle yet steady, reminding readers that parents don’t need perfection; they need presence, patience, and partnership.
Her debut work, Before the Battle Begins, is more than a book — it is a companion for every parent raising a child in today’s demanding world. It unites ancient wisdom with modern emotion to help families nurture children who are not only successful, but also strong, kind, and self-aware — capable of making wise choices through understanding and inner balance.
Before the Battle Begins is not just a book — it is a living dialogue between generations, a meeting of eternal wisdom and the modern child’s heart.
Through its pages, the ancient truths of the Bhagavad Gita come alive in a fresh, tender way — transforming divine philosophy into gentle, everyday guidance for children, parents, and seekers alike. It speaks to a world where children wrestle with questions of fear, self-worth, and choice, and where parents long to guide them with patience, understanding, and grace.
Told through heartfelt conversations between Krishna, Arjuna, and a curious boy named Achintya, this book carries timeless teachings in a language today’s families can feel and relate to. It blends wisdom and imagination so seamlessly that it touches both heart and intellect — reminding us that life’s greatest battles are not fought outside, but within.
Each chapter unfolds with exceptional care — weaving together story, reflection, activities, and moral lessons that nurture courage, empathy, and clarity. Every element has been designed to make Before the Battle Begins a spiritual companion, emotional guide, and parenting ally — all in one.
In today’s world, where children are increasingly exposed to grand spiritual themes through films like Kantara and Mahaavatar Narasimha — and with many more yet to come — this book becomes even more essential. It helps young minds understand profound spiritual ideas and heavy words with simplicity and clarity, ensuring they grasp not just the stories, but the true essence and meaning behind them.
“This is not about what Krishna once said — it is about what He still whispers to every soul willing to listen.”
A treasure for every home, this book stands apart for the exceptionality of its contents — uniting ancient truth with modern emotion in a way rarely achieved in contemporary literature. It carries the fragrance of devotion, the clarity of knowledge, and the tenderness of a mother’s heart.
Importantly, Before the Battle Begins is not written from a religious lens, but from a deeply spiritual one. It speaks to all faiths, all families, and all seekers who wish to raise a generation that understands the strength of compassion, the beauty of self-awareness, and the quiet power of inner peace.
And yet, this book promises more than what can be captured in words. It holds a quiet light — an energy that continues to guide long after the last page is turned. For those who read it with an open heart, Before the Battle Begins becomes not merely a story, but a transformative experience — a gentle awakening to the wisdom, love, and strength that already reside within.

Krishna, the divine strategist and compassionate teacher, stands at the heart of Before the Battle Begins.
He is not portrayed as a distant deity, but as a living consciousness — calm, patient, and infinitely wise. Through His voice, the Bhagavad Gita becomes accessible to young minds and relevant to modern life.
Krishna represents clarity amidst confusion — the quiet, guiding presence that reminds us who we truly are when the mind is clouded by fear, pride, or pain. His words are not meant to command, but to awaken.
In this retelling, Krishna’s essence is that of inner balance — the part of each of us that already knows the truth, waiting to be heard through silence and surrender.
“Krishna is not outside us. He is the calm voice within, that speaks when the noise fades.”
Arjuna stands for every soul caught between duty and desire, courage and compassion.
He is not just a warrior on a battlefield — he is each of us, facing the moral, emotional, and mental battles of life.
Through Arjuna, the book portrays the struggle of the human heart — to do what is right when it is difficult, to act with integrity amidst attachment, and to trust divine timing when nothing makes sense.
His doubts, questions, and hesitations make him real and relatable.
He teaches that even strength trembles, and that asking for guidance is not weakness but the beginning of wisdom.
Arjuna signifies the awakening of awareness — the moment we stop fighting the world and begin understanding ourselves.
“Arjuna’s bow trembled, not from fear of the world, but from the weight of his own heart.”
Achintya is not a character created for the story — he is a living soul, the author’s own son, whose innocence, curiosity, and unfiltered truth inspired this entire work.
He is exactly as portrayed in the book — full of wonder, questions, and an honesty that only a child’s heart can hold. Through him, the Bhagavad Gita travels across time — from the battlefield of Kurukshetra to the modern classrooms, homes, and hearts of today’s children.
Achintya represents pure curiosity — the soul before conditioning. His questions to Krishna are simple, yet they open profound doorways for reflection. His nature reminds us that spirituality isn’t taught through age or authority, but through openness and humility.
There is a profound feeling in reading his parts — because he is real, breathing, alive. His words in the book are echoes of his real-life wonderings — the same thoughts that awaken in every child who seeks to understand right and wrong, fear and faith, love and loss.
Through Achintya, readers discover that the divine dialogue isn’t ancient — it continues every day, between parent and child, between mind and soul, between question and truth.
“Achintya doesn’t just appear in the book — he lives within it. He carries the voice of every child who dares to ask, and every heart that listens.”
Together, they form the timeless triangle of teacher, student, and question — a pattern that mirrors every soul’s journey toward understanding.
Before the Battle Begins reminds us that these three do not exist outside us; they live within us. Krishna’s calm, Arjuna’s struggle, and Achintya’s curiosity together lead us to one truth — that every question, when asked with love, becomes a step toward light.
In today’s fast-paced world, Before the Battle Begins offers families what they quietly seek a moment to slow down, a language to connect, and wisdom that comforts as much as it teaches.
It reminds every reader that spirituality is not outside daily life — it is daily life.
That parenting isn’t about control — it’s about connection.
And that the greatest battles are not fought to win, but to understand.
