Dr. Mridul Kirti has translated highly respectable Hindu scriptures such as Samaveda and Ashtavakra Gita written in the classic Sanskrit language into an easily understandable Hindi and Brij Bhasha. Not only are these translations readable, they most of them are in a poetic form and therefore, they can also be sung.

She considers herself to be a humble medium for spreading the message of God, and has devoted a large part of her life in writing and translating immortal religious texts. 

With her zealous efforts, Dr. Kirti has been single-handedly able to complete such important and prestigious projects without any kind of outside help. She continues to work as she believes her job has only begun. She takes this task as devotion and feels her work has only been possible due to divine inspiration and help.
