Gita Jayanti is being observed today, 14 December. The day, which falls on Mokshada Ekadashi, marks the day the Bhagavad Gita came into existence. This year marks the 5,158th anniversary of the Gita, which is a holy text for Hindus.

The Bhagavad Gita came into existence on the Shukla Paksha Ekadashi Tithi of the lunar month of Margashirsha, according to the Hindu calendar.
On the occasion of Gita Jayanti, the message of the sacred book was introduced by Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar of Lord Vishnu, to Arjun on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. The book, which consists of 700 verses, is a collection of conversations between Lord Krishna and Arjun. The Bhagavad Gita is an important part of the Mahabharata’s Bhisma Parva.
Devotees believe that worshipping Lord Vishnu on this day can lead to salvation from the cycle of rebirth and death, or moksha. Many people fast on this day and pray to Lord Vishnu to help them achieve salvation.
