Gita Jayanti observed

 

December 18, 2018

On December 18, 2018 (Margashira Shuddha Ekadashi), commemorating Gita Jayanti, the day the teaching of Srimad Bhagavad Gita was bestowed upon Arjuna, a group chanting of Srimad Bhagavad Gita took place at the Pravachana Mandiram in Sringeri with the blessings of Sri Mahasannidhanam. The chanting was led by those who had participated in the Gita Jnana Yajna scheme of the Sringeri Math and can recite the entire Gita from memory. Vidwan Krishnaraja Bhat of the Sringeri Pathashala spoke abt the greatness of the Gita and the importance of bodily, verbal and mental Tapas as outlined in the Gita.

 
  • The Self (Atma) is never born nor does It ever die; neither does It cease to exist after having once existed nor does the Self come into existence, like the body, having not existed before. Unborn, eternal, It undergoes no change whatsoever and is primeval; It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. Bhagavan Sri Krishna on Significance of God
  • A person who hears about the condemnation of another incurs sin. What need be said about the sin incurred by a man who actually engages in nit picking? Jagadguru Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada on Prabodha Sudhakara
  • If you pray with faith and devotion, the Lord will certainly listen to your earnest prayers. Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • Our nation and its culture have a hoary past and we should all be proud of it. Mere aping of the West is not beneficial for us. For example, care of aged parents is something that has come down to us traditionally and we must never neglect this duty by imbibing concepts of some free societies, wherein concern for one’s own parents is at low ebb. Jagadguru Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God
  • It is a great blunder not to make proper use of the body and mind that has been given to us by God. Jagadguru Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamigal on Significance of God's Names
