Gita Jayanti celebrated

PATNA: Bhagwad Gita works as light in life. It helps a person evolve into an exemplary personality, speakers at a Gita Jayanti ceremony held at ISKCON here on Tuesday said.
"Bhagwad Gita is the guide always. It initiates readers into living a life which is devoted to duty," said ISKCON temple president Krishna Kripa Das. ISKCON had organized a programme to celebrate Gita Jayanti on Tuesday.
"To some, Bhagwad Gita teaches 'karma yoga' and to some others, detachment from material desires," he added.
"Lord Krishna had preached the importance of 'karma' to Arjuna who had turned his back on his duty. Today, ISKCON across the world celebrates the day as Gita Jayanti," Nand Gopal Das, a spokesperson told TOI.
To mark the occasion, ISKCON is distributing Bhagwad Gita at a subsidized rate across the state. The campaign will continue for one month.
