Fw: Gita Jayanti on 28 th November 2009

[Guest guest]

Priya Sadhaks,

I am

with you after a long time. This time with festival news. The defining

moment of post Vedic period of Hindu society came during the

Kurukshetra war when the Poornavatar Krishna chose to reveal the

mightiest of secrets of creation to his friend and disciple Arjuna.

Every year that day is remembered as Gita Jayanti. Ihereby remind you

all to celebrate this momentous day of Hindu society in a pious and fitting

manner and Glorify Krishna and his upadesh.

 

 

Gita Jayanti

 

The

Shukla Paksha Ekadasi (11th day of the bright lunar fortnight) of the

month of Margasirsha (Nov-Dec) is observed as Gita Jayanti. Lord Sri Krishna

revealed the sacred knowledge of the

Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield at Kurukshetra on this

auspicious day.

Hence,

special poojas are performed at all Vaishnava temples on this day and

devotees chant the 700 verses of the Bhagavad Gita with faith and

devotion on this day.

The

Gita Mahatmya mentions manifold benefits for those who chant the sacred

verses of the Bhagavad Gita. Lord Sri Krishna himself has give numerous

assurances to his devotees in the Gita that his devotees will never

perish or come to harm.

For all those who want to do Gita Jayanti at home, this simple procedure may be

followed. Decorate the picture ofLord Krishna with flowers and other decorative

items. Place the Holy Gita in front. Light the oil or

ghee lamps. Offer kumkum, Haldi (turmeric), Chandan, Akshada, water

sprinkling (snanam), achamanam (sipping thrice of water), arghyam

)pouring water by the spoonful on the feet of the Lord), fruits, milk,

dhoop, cooked prasadam like kheer or any sweets you have prepared and

finally culminate the pooja with karpoora (camphor) arati.

After

this, you can chant the Dhyana slokas of Gita followed by the full

recitation or at least one chapter in which you are thorough. Or else

you can play the gita audio and chant along. For those who still do not
