Reciting the entire Bhagavad Gita on the day of Gita Jayanti leads to positive outcomes.
Lord Krishna gave the Gita Updesh to his disciple Arjun on this day.
Gita Jayanti is the celebration of the day when the Bhagavad Gita, the sacred scripture of Hinduism, was revealed to Arjuna by Lord Krishna during the Mahabharata war at Kurukshetra. It falls on Ekadashi Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha month. According to the belief of Sanatan Dharma, Lord Krishna gave the Gita Updesh to his supreme disciple Arjun on this day, and therefore, Gita Jayanti is celebrated in this month. Reciting the entire Shrimad Bhagavad Gita on the day of Gita Jayanti leads to positive outcomes.
Haridwar astrologer Pandit Shridhar Shastri says that according to the Vedic calendar, Ekadashi Tithi of Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha month will start on 11 December at 03.42 am and will end on 12 December at 01.09 am.
Pandit Shridhar Shastri said that on this day in Dwapar Yuga, Lord Krishna preached the Gita to Arjun on the land of Kurukshetra. The secrets of human life are described in Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta; along with this, Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Gyan Yoga have been explained in detail in Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta. Hence, by reciting Geeta, all the secrets of life are revealed. Anyone who recites Geeta never does any wrong deed or goes on the wrong path, rather, he becomes absorbed in the devotion of God and makes his life successful. There are a total of 700 verses in Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta.
It is believed that Lord Krishna resides in your heart if you recite the Bhagavad Gita with devotion, and removes all the internal impurities and ailments. However, if you lack faith and devotion during the recitation, it leads to no benefit. The Gita’s verses bring peace to the mind and promote spiritual growth. Reciting the Bhagavad Gita on Gita Jayanti is especially significant. It is believed to grant rewards equal to performing thousands of Ashwamedha Yagyas, with those blessings lasting forever. By sincerely reciting Gita, you bring immense joy to Lord Krishna, paving the way to attain Moksha or liberation.
