Today is Margasheersha Shukla Ekadashi which is called मोक्षदा एकादशी (Mokshada Ekadashi). Mokshada means ‘the giver of Liberation’.

It is celebrated as Gita Jayanti, because on this day Bhagavan Sri Krishna gave the sacred knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna at the Kurukshetra.

Srimad Bhagavad Gita holds a very important place in our scriptures. It is said – गीता सुगीता कर्तव्या किमन्यैः शास्त्रविस्तरैः। One should study Gita properly rather than going through full expanse of the scriptures.
ॐ श्रीकृष्णाय नमः
