Over five thousand years ago, on the battlefield of Kuruksetra, Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-Gita to His friend Arjuna when he was losing his nerve and backing out of his duty to fight. Fast forward to today, and the same message is available to each of us- the holistic approach to leading a life of joy, stability, and peace. This year Monday, December 1st, 2025, marks the day this life-changing conversation took place. This occasion is known as Gita Jayanti as it marks the advent of the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
Thanks to Srila Prabhupada and his inspired disciples, that same Bhagavad-Gita has been translated into many languages like Persian and Russian and is read by millions.
Please join us at ISKCON Toronto at 6:00 pm as we read the entire Bhagavad-Gita in Sanskrit and English (alternating chapters). The program will also include an Ekadasi (grain-free) feast served at the end of the reading.
