Historical stories of great people

HISTORICAL stories of of great people;http://sushmajee.com/folktales-PDF-M/History-1-Bk-23-180.pdf

There are four sets/books of stories about the important historical personalities  the world. In the present series, there are 23stories related to the facts and incidents about great personalities of the world. They convey very important message to improve our lives.
out of all the stories, here I would like to give some points about the story of Maharani Ahiliyabai Holkar;http://sushmajee.com/folktales-PDF-M/History-1-Bk-23-180.pdf


She was not an educated person though very wise. Once , she asked his Pandits to recite Bhagvad Gita with meanings for her. Considering that she is not educated, she may not follow or understand the teachings of Gita, thought that they can teach her gita in a simple way; As soon as they recited the first shlok of Bhagvad Gita:
DHARMA KSHETRE KURU KSHETRE SAMA VETA YUYUTSAVAHA
MAMAKAHA PANDAVAS CHAIVA KIMA KURVATA SANJAYA.
धर्मक्षेत्रे कुरुक्षेत्रे समवेता युयुत्सवः ।
मामकाः पाण्डवाश्चैव किमकुर्वत संजय ॥


After listening the first slok and its meaning, she told the Pandits that she understood the meanings and teachings of whole Gita. She told Pandit that the gist of Gita is that  LIFE= Kuru Kshetre and the living it is DharamKshetre; Life is struggle and how to live it well is according to your duties/responsiblities and accordingly your appropriate actions.
I should name it " AHILIYABAI GITA".
