Gita-Jayanti Today!!!

Today is Gita Jayanti!
5000 years apprx, Krishna spoke Bhagavad-gita (BG) to us through Arjuna. Krishna did not speak to Arjuna because he was prepared on that. There was a situation there, of there being a problem if you do this or do that. Same is our case.
So Krishna is giving directions to the living entity for this life.

Eg: We depend on mapquest for such a short direction say to go from here to Niagara Falls. Life is long journey, BG gives a very nice direction for this journey.
Eg: Take a watch, who can tell about the watch better than the company. Similarly this world is made by Krishna, and he is telling us how to live in this world, by this operational manual BG.
Krishna is telling here how to live, how to eat, how to have recreation and finally how to go back home, back to Godhead.
In here we can find as to how we can get rid of envy, the root cause of our material existence. In BG, Krishna is telling us about the ultimate surrender.

Krishna is also telling that whoever distributes this knowledge, he is very dear to me and at the end of the life, he will come back to me.

What we need to do:
To get rid of the 6 forms of lust, anger ..., Krishna says we need to chant very nicely. As a genuine ardent follower of Krishna, first we practise and then give out this mercy as a compassionate servant of Srila Prabhupada.

Chant the rounds very effectively. Krishna is non-different from his holy name.
