Before nearly 6000 years ago,Shree Krishna narrated to Arjuna, the secrets of life on the battlefield on
the first day of the war fought between the Pandavas and Kauravas.The battlefield was Kurukshetra ,
instance was when Arjuna, on seeing Pitamaha Bhisma ,Guru Draunacharya and several of his kith and kin in the enemy camp ,at whom he would have to target his arrows ; felt very sad and dismayed.
Arjuna pondered over the futility of partaking in the war.''What happiness can the victory in the Mahabharat give me when I shall receive it
packed and covered with the bloodshed of my own loved ones?''
Profound grief struck over him and the bow and arrow dropped from his hands
Lord Krishna read his mind and the message he gave to his devoted disciple to overcome this grief is
contained in the beautiful verses of the devotional song celestial THE SHREEMAD BHAGWAD GITA
The Eleventh day of the Shukla Paksha ,brighter lunar half of the Margaseersha month ,is celebrated as Geeta Jayanti,
the Birth day of GITA which was told by the LORD himself proclaiming the essence of human life,the process of life and finally making us realise the real purpose of our life .
The Bhagwad Gita is full of knowledge relating to the role of the human being in a society,his actions and his awareness.
Once we are endowed with human form, we have to take care of this physical frame ,perform the duties allotted to us by the society and try to attain higher form of awareness .Actions should be performed to perfection,that too without a thought of expecting any rewards.Arjuna ,Krishna says,'' Direct all performances towards me as if you are offering the fruits of your actions to me.If the jivatma does this and comes to my shelter with total surrender ,I shall destoy all his bad karmas and give him salvation.''
