Geeta Jayanti and Mokshada Ekadashi will be celebrated on 1st December, The Ekadashi date of Shukla Paksha of Agahan (Margashirsha) month will start from 9:29 pm on 30th November this year and end at 7:01 pm on 1st December. According to the tradition of Udayatithi, the holy festival of Geeta Jayanti and Mokshada Ekadashi will be celebrated on 1st December only. This information was given by astrologer and tarot card reader Nitika Sharma, director of Shri Lakshminarayan Astro Solution, Ajmer.
Importance of Mokshada Ekadashi: According to astrologer Neetika Sharma, Mokshada Ekadashi is considered to be the most auspicious among all Ekadashis. It is also called Vishnupriya Ekadashi. It is believed that by worshiping Lord Vishnu on this day, all the troubles of a person go away and ancestors attain salvation. By offering tarpan to those ancestors who have not yet attained salvation, they attain salvation on this day.
Religious importance of Geeta Jayanti: Neetika Sharma told that in Dwapar Yuga, on the day of Shukla Paksha Ekadashi of Agahan month, Lord Shri Krishna had preached Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta to Arjun during the war of Mahabharata. For this reason this date is celebrated as Geeta Jayanti. Geeta is the only scripture in the world whose birth anniversary is celebrated.
Generally there are 24 Ekadashis in a year, but in the year when Adhikamas comes, their number increases to 26. This year too, due to Adhikamaas in the month of Sawan, there have been 26 Ekadashis.
Mokshada Ekadashi date
Shukla Paksha Ekadashi date of Aghan month Starting at 9:29 PM on November 30th and ending at 7:01 PM on December 1st would end. Due to Udayatithi, this festival will be celebrated on 1st December.
Method of worship of Geetaji:
Nitika Sharma told that on the day of Geeta Jayanti, wake up at Brahmamuhurta and take bath.
- Purify the place of worship with Ganga water.
- Spread a clean cloth on the post and install the idol of Lord Krishna and Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta.
- Offer water, Akshat, yellow flowers, incense, lamp and naivedya to God.
- Be sure to read Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta.
Special importance of Geetadan
It has been told in Srimad Bhagwat Geeta itself that this supreme knowledge should be conveyed to others. Grant donation has been called a great donation in the scriptures. By donating Geeta many sins are destroyed and virtues are attained.
Historical context of Geeta sermon
Before the start of Mahabharata war, Lord Shri Krishna had preached Geeta to Arjun on Margashirsha Shukla Ekadashi. That is why “Shri Bhagwan Uvaach” is written in Geeta and not “Shri Krishna Uvaach”. This shows the divinity and universality of Geeta.
Spiritual importance of Geeta
Nitika Sharma told that Geeta contains the essence of Vedas, Upanishads and Puranas. It contains a detailed explanation of the path of karma, knowledge and devotion. The 18 chapters of Geeta provide guidance in every area of life and solve the doubts of man.
Life lessons from Geeta
Geeta gives us the message to keep doing our work. Not doing any work is also considered a karma, the result of which definitely comes. Therefore, continuous action rather than inaction is necessary in life.
Special beliefs of Mokshada Ekadashi
- By fasting one gets salvation after death.
