It is worthwhile to remember that Arjuna chose the Lord as his charioteer while he fought. Needless to say, he was victorious. Similarly, in the face of mountainous challenges, our daily struggles, we need the to choose the Lord as our charioteer who will steer our vehicle of life towards the path of fulfillment, ecstasy and perfection .A spirit of surrender, garnished with much courage and determination are the ingredients necessary for success.

Gita Jayanti, also referred as Bhagawad Geetha Jayanthi,

is the day when the Bhagvad Gita was rendered by Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Kurukshetra on the first day of the famous 18-day battle in the Mahabharata. In 2011, the date of Gita Jayanti is December 6. Gita Jayanthi falls on the Ekadashi day of Shukla Paksha (the bright half) of the Margashirsha month (November-December) in traditional Hindi calendar.

The greatest quality of Bhagavad Gita is that it prompts you to think, it prompts you to take decision, and it prompts you to look at life differently and refreshingly and all this without surrendering your individuality.

Bhagavad Gita adapts to the present and discusses an issue by rooting itself in the present.

Every moment ''a confused Arjuna'' opens the Gita to take the advice of the Lord.

and through the immortal Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna has been discussing and debating and finding solutions to the various problems faced by us confused Arjunas for centuries and will continue to do the same forever.

Geeta teaches us how to live a righteous life, how to make conscious choice to act according to Dharma, while performing all our day-to-day duties.

Be the victor as Lord Krisha always was and which we, in turn, ought to be. We must not use apparently challenging situations as excuses for failure.

At no time should we ever avoid our responsibilities or duties. At times we may be placed in different circumstances which may not be the most ideal.
So,should we complain, refuse to act or fight? Shri Krishna Himself answers in Bhagavad Gita where He encourages Arjuna to fight the righteous battle.

It is worthwhile to remember that Arjuna chose the Lord as his charioteer while he fought. Needless to say, he was victorious. Similarly, in the face of mountainous challenges, our daily struggles, we need the to choose the Lord as our charioteer who will steer our vehicle of life towards the path of fulfillment, ecstasy and perfection .A spirit of surrender, garnished with much courage and determination are the ingredients necessary for success.

Indeed, with the Lord as our guide, our charioteer of life, no challenge is unsurmountable.

Shri Krishna Himself in Chapter 18,verse 58 of Bhagavad Gita beckons us "With your mind thus given to me, you shall tide over all difficulties by My grace."

Thank you Harianjana
