Gita Jayanti marks the day in which the Bhagavad Gita was rendered by Lord Krishna to Arjuna. Gita Jayanthi
Gita Jayanti, also referred as Bhagawad Geetha Jayanthi, is the day when the Bhagvad Gita was rendered by Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Kurukshetra on the first day of the famous 18-day battle in the Mahabharata.
Gita Jayanthi falls on the Ekadashi day of Shukla Paksha of the Margashirsha month.
Bhagavad Gita adapts to the present and discusses an issue by rooting itself in the present.
Arjuna was confused whether to fight or not against his Pithamaha, Gurugalu, Brothers, and other elder Kauravas in Kurukshetra. He decided not to fight and asked suggestion of Geethacharya – Srikrishna.
Then Srikrishna gave him Vishnuroopa Darshana to him and gave a good lecture – Srimadbhagavad Geetha.
Every moment a confused Arjuna opens the Gita to take the advice of Krishna . And through the immortal Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna has been discussing and debating and finding solutions to the various problems faced by the confused Arjunas for centuries and will continue to do the same forever.
The day is observed all around the world with the reading of Bhagavad Gita, which is referred outside India as the Bible of the Hindus. Discussions and seminars are organized on the day.
Srimadacharyaru has given a very good tatparya nirnaya on Bhagavad Geetha.
One must read atleast one stanza of Bhagavad Geetha on this great day with the Tatparnirnaya of Srimadacharya.
hari sarvottama, vayu jeevottama, panchabedha, taratamya
