According to the Hindu calendar, Mokshada Ekadashi and Gita Jayanti are celebrated every year on the 11th day (Ekadashi) of the bright fortnight of the Margashirsha month. Scriptures describe that on this very day during the Mahabharata era, Lord Krishna imparted the sacred teachings of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. The Gita’s wisdom guides us towards living an ideal life, following the path of dharma, and understanding the true significance of our actions.
Here are ten profound teachings and timeless messages from the Srimad Bhagavad Gita:
“Whatever happened, happened for the good. Whatever is happening, is happening for the good. Whatever will happen, will also happen for the good.”
“Perform your obligatory duty because action is indeed better than inaction.”
“Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.”
“You have the right to work but never to the fruit of work.”
“There is neither this world nor the world beyond nor happiness for the one who doubts.”
“The truly wise mourn neither for the living nor for the dead.”
“For one who has conquered his mind, a mind is best of friends, but for one who has failed to do so, a mind is the greatest enemy.”
“It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly than to live an imitation of somebody else's life with perfection.”
“Change is the law of the universe. You can be a millionaire, or a pauper in an instant.”
“You came empty handed, and you will leave empty handed.”
