12/08/2008 EKADASHI MondaySrimadh Bhagavadh Geetha Jayanthi

Shri Varahapurana states the great glories of Shrimadh Gita recitation and its merits.

If half of the Shrimadh Gita is recited (9 chapters) one gets the benefit of Godana.

If one third of the Shrimadh Gita is recited (6 chapters) the benefit of Somayaga phala is obtained.

Recitation of one sixth of the Shrimadh Gita (3 Chapters) results in Gangasnana phala.

If two chapters are read daily , one enjoys the benefit of spending one kalpa years in Indraloka

If one chapter is read daily one can derive the phala of spending many years in the Rudraloka

If one half or one fourth of a chapter is read ,one gets the benefit of spending many years happily in Suryaloka.

If

a minimum of 10,7,5,3,2 or even with half of a sloka recitation one

gets the benefit of happily spending ten crore years in the Chandraloka.

In the last days who ever hears the Shrimadh Gita recitation or dicusses the meaning of the Gita certainly attain moksha.

At the time of performing ceremonies to the ancestors, due to the recitation of the Gita, hell will be averted for them.

 

Please do pArAyana of Shrimadh Gita everyday and earn the blessings of the Sarvothama Hari.
