Gita Jayanti

The Bhagavad Gita is a sacred text and is considered to be a summary of all ancient Vedic philosophical scriptures. The Gita was spoken by Lord Krishna himself to his best friend Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra 5000 years ago. The Bhagavad Gita literally means "The Song of the Lord" and is understood as a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna, but is intended for the benefit of the entire world. On this day, devotees of Krishna gather to recite all 700 verses together and remember this sacred conversation between the Lord and his dear devotee.
