Isn't it still technically incorrect to say "advent day"? Isn't this the

same as jayanti? We were trying to find a translation for the temple

newsletter, but thought that, since the Gita didn't really "advent" or

"appear" on this day (it was only later written down by Vyasadeva, and even

then initially as part of another scripture, Mahabharata), it would be

better to say "The day that Srimad Bhagavad-gita was spoken."

 

Could this be the reason why Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Thakura

disapproved jayanti even for the Bhagavad-gita?
