Join us to celebrate Gita Jayanti – the day when Lord Sri Krishna told the Gita to Arjuna.
More than 5000 years ago on this day, the Lord, in the role of humble charioteer, spoke to His friend and disciple Arjuna, in the middle of a battlefield on the brink of war. The wisdom He delivered then is equally as relevant today and has a deeper meaning for our lives. The Bhagavad Gita provides a roadmap to guide spiritual seekers all the way to the Ultimate, God-realisation.
Lord Krishna says, the knowledge taught in the Gita, ‘Was handed down in disciple succession, the royal sages received this knowledge. But due to the passage of time, Arjuna this yoga was lost to the world. It is this same ancient yoga which I now teach to you, as you are My devotee and My friend; it is indeed the highest mystery.’ Bhagavad Gita 4.2-3.
For the celebration, we will conduct a Gita Yagna, during which all the verses of the Bhagavad Gita will be recited. It is a powerful method of cleansing oneself and helps to internalize the message of the Gita.
