Bhagavad Gita

The Gita Jayanti, or the birthday of the Bhagavad Gita, is celebrated throughout the World by all the admirers and lovers of this most sacred scripture on the eleventh day (Ekadashi) of the bright half of the month of Margaseersha (December - January), according to the Hindu almanac.

It was on this day, Lord Krishna gave the essence of Upanishads to Arjuna in the form of Bhagavad Gita at the battle field of Kurukshetra. This glorious teachings were made available by Vedavyasa to the world through the great epic Mahabharatha.

The Gita Jayanti marks one of the greatest days in the history of mankind. It is on this day a dazzling flash of brilliant light lit up the firmament of human mind in to the right path. This brilliant dialogue has continued to guide through centuries the human quest for ultimate truth as well as providing guidance on leading the life on earth by adopting proper attitude. It teaches the rigid performance of one’s duty in society, and a life of active struggle, keeping the inner being untouched by outer surroundings, and renouncing the fruits of actions as offerings unto the Lord.

The Gita is the most beautiful and the only truly philosophical song. It contains sublime lessons on wisdom and philosophy. It is the “Song Celestial”. It is the universal gospel. It contains the message of life that appeals to all, irrespective of race, creed, age or religion.
