Why Gita Jayanti is Celebrated

Over 5,000 years ago, Lord Krishna revealed the 700-verse Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna during the Mahabharata war. The Gita contains the essence of Karma Yoga (selfless action), Bhakti Yoga (devotion), and Jnana Yoga (knowledge). It guides humanity to live with wisdom, detachment, and spiritual discipline.

Celebrating this day is a tribute to eternal truth, righteous living (Dharma), and the awakening of inner consciousness.

Spiritual Significance

• Teaches how to overcome fear, confusion, and ego
• Emphasizes doing one’s duty without attachment to results
