Gita Parayanam - 2013


     Myself and Lavanya decided to read all the verses from the Bagavad-Gita on the auspicious day of Gita Jayanti in the year 2013. This very day, Lord Krsna spoke the Bagavad-Gita during the conversation between him and his friend, relative and disciple - Arjuna on the battle filed of Kurukshetra five thousand years ago. Reading Bagavad Gita daily has an immense effect for greater spiritual realizations. One can find great stories related to reading Bagavad Gita religiously from 'Gita Mathmya Stories', where Lord Shiva explains the those benefits to Mother Parvathi in the form of many stories.

     We started reading Bagavad Gita at 9AM and finished at 11:30AM with out taking a break!! I think I did the same in the year 2009 in Singapore Lakshmi Narayan temple along with around thirty devotees from the local congregation. This year has been so special that we two did it in our prayer room.

    Our experience has been great and we promise to do it in future regularly whenever time permits us.
