The Gita Jayanti is celebrated in some parts of the country.
It is enshrining the Message of God Shri Krishna to Arjuna, is perhaps the
commented work in the world. There are enumerable commentaries on it written by
several scholars and it is free from dogma and fanaticism. It had advocated a
very dynamic concept of duty and efficient action. After the conclusion of
Gita, Arjuna fought bravely on the battlefield but did not exchange his Gandiva
bow for an ascetic's bowl. We see across the succeeding centuries, millions and
millions of people who were perturbed and perplexed, puzzled and paralysed on
account of life's problems found comfort and consolation and faced them with
courage and conviction inspired by the reading of BhagavadGita. The path of
knowledge, performance of duty and surrender to God are all one and are not
divergent. The Upanishads have taken the form of a cow, Arjuna was a calf, and
Krishna was a cowherd and Gita is the milk of Upanishadic cow. Ultimately the
sinner as well as the saint can seek solace and self-realisation from
BhagavadGita.
I solicit your kind views.
