Gita Jayanti marks the most sacred day when Lord Sri Krishna spoke the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. It is the day when divine knowledge descended to dispel the darkness of ignorance and confusion — offering the world the light of truth, duty, and devotion.

​

On this auspicious day, devotees across the world reflect on the Gita’s eternal message: to live a life of dharma, surrender, and spiritual clarity. The Bhagavad Gita is not a scripture meant only for saints and sages — it is a universal manual for every human being seeking peace, purpose, and liberation amidst life’s challenges.

​

Srila Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON, emphasized that the Bhagavad Gita As It Is is the essence of all Vedic knowledge — a direct instruction from the Supreme Lord Himself. Reading and sharing this sacred book purifies the heart and reconnects the soul with Krishna.

​

Gita Marathon — a heartfelt initiative to share the wisdom of Lord Krishna with every home. Inspired by the compassion of Srila Prabhupada and the guidance of His Holiness Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj, devotees go door to door, distributing Bhagavad Gitas and sharing Krishna’s message of hope, courage, and devotion.

​

As Srila Prabhupada said:

“If even one person reads a page of the Bhagavad Gita, his life becomes successful.”

​

HH Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj often reminds us:

“The greatest welfare work is to give someone Krishna consciousness. When we distribute Srila Prabhupada’s books, we are directly assisting Lord Krishna in His mission to deliver conditioned souls.”

Thus, every Gita distributed is not just a book given — it is a seed of devotion sown in a soul’s heart.
