Gita Jayanti
Also known as: Mokshada Ekadashi
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
Gita Jayanti marks the day Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Devotees read from the Gita, join group recitations, and reflect on its central teaching — do your duty with love, without clinging to the results.
