New Delhi [India], August 19 (ANI): The festival of Janmashtami is celebrated every year by Hindus to mark the birth of Lord Krishna, the God who is the embodiment of playfulness and innocence.
As per the Hindu calendar, Lord Krishna, an avatar of Lord Vishnu, was born on the eighth day of the month of Bhadra. The day mostly falls in the months of August or September as per the Western calendar.
And when we talk about Lord Krishna, there is no way we miss out on one of the most sacred Hindu scripture, ‘The Bhagavad Gita’.
As Indians, we are all familiar with the Bhagavad Gita as it has widespread recognition for its values and beliefs in India and abroad as well. The Bhagavad Gita is also known as ‘The Song of God’, but most people enunciate it as ‘Gita.’
According to the ‘Mahabharata’, Lord Krishna gave the message of the Gita to Arjuna during the battle of Kurukshetra. It is an Upanishad given under Bhisma Parva of Mahabharata.
Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, one of the best holy books of Hindus, was written thousands of years ago. It beautifully discusses monotheism, karma yoga, Gyan yoga, and bhakti yoga.
Additionally, the Bhagavad Gita is regarded as an epic scripture in which one can find solutions to all of their problems.
On the auspicious occasion of Janmashtami, we have curated a list of ‘Top 15’ beautiful Gita Updesh for everyone to understand the value of life and feel motivated every day.
