The Bhagavad Gita is considered one of the most sacred and influential texts in Hinduism. It contains 700 verses packed with profound philosophical and spiritual teachings that offer guidance on living a righteous and fulfilling life.

Gita Jayanti is more than just a celebration of an ancient event; it serves as a reminder of the timeless relevance of Lord Krishna's teachings. His words offer guidance on dealing with life's challenges, finding inner peace, and fulfilling one's dharma (righteous duty).
