Today is the day that Bhagavad Gita was spoken over 5000 years ago. We had a very nice festival today where we chanted all the verses of the Bhagavad Gita in Sanskrit and English. This took about 6 hours, it was very enlivening. Hare Krishna

Gita Jayanti!!
Hare Krishna!
Parbhu! pleased to know that we have date too, when geeta was spoken. Really a very amazing information for me, thx for sharing this. Parbhu would like to know that Gita Jayanti is based on vedic calender or english calender?
If this is based on vedic calender , i guess day will change ever year, means next time it will not come on 20th Dec. I am right??
Hare Krishna!
Yes we celebrate according to the Vedic lunar calendar
therefore the date is different each according to modern calendar. Haribol, we have 7 devotee this month who have pledged to memorize chapter 12 of the Gita by Feb 31st
