Gita Jayanti is dedicated to the birth of Srimad Bhagvad Gita, the holy book of Hindus. In the Gita, the lessons of Lord Krishna to Arjuna are recorded. According to the Hindu beliefs, the Gita provides solutions for every problem that a man faces in his life. Hindus also feel the Gita teaches them the way to reconnect with God and lead a life of fulfillment and sacredness.
This festival is celebrated with great reverence and enthusiasm by Hindus in India and across the world. All 700 cantos of the Gita are chanted during the day. Devotees fast on this auspicious occasion. Cultural events are organized across the country where sages and devotees deliver religious speeches.
John 5: 39-40 states, “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life." Ask God to draw Hindus to look for answers to life's problems in the Bible. Pray that they would eagerly accept eternal life through Jesus alone.
