Gita Jayanti day symbolizes the birth of Srimad Bhagavad-Gita, the sacred text of the Hindus.
Gita
Jayanti is celebrated worldwide by all devotees of Lord Krishna
(followers of Sanatana Dharma), who revere Bhagavad Gita as their Divine
Mother because she teaches (in a non-sectarian and scientific manner)
how to re-establish our lost relationship with God Almighty (The
Supreme).
It is generally observed by en-masse recitation of all
700 verses of the Gita chanted throughout the day. Devotees also fast on
this day since it is an Ekadashi day (Ekadasi is the eleventh day of
the waxing moon and waning moon) – it occurs twice every lunar month and
is observed by fasting from grains and lentils (peas, beans, dhals) by
those who seek to progress spiritually. Bhajans and Poojas are held on
this day. In places where this festival is celebrated grandly, stage
play and Gita chanting competitions are held for kids to show their
talents as a way to encourage their interest in reading Gita. Yogis,
Sanyasins and learned scholar gives talks and held forums of this holy
scripture. Leaflets, pamphlets and books containing the essence of Gita
are distributed to the public. It is especially auspicious to distribute
free copies of the Gita on this holy day. (See mokshda ekadashi.)vishnu stotra/puja 218) http://sekhar789.blogspot.in/2016/12/mokshda-ekadashivishnu-stotrapuja218. html
