Gita Jayanti Celebration in ISKCON
Gita Jayanti is celebrated every year in the month of December. During this month in ISKCON, devotees serve the Bhagwan by distributing the Bhagavad Gita to the residents and surrounding areas. On this day, devotees gather together to recite all the 700 shlokas, remembering this sacred conversation between the Bhagwan and his beloved devotee.

ISKCON organizes the Gita Daan Yagya Mahotsav every year, a 30-day festival, during which it aims to distribute 1 lakh Gitas. ISKCON believes that Bhagwan Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita says that whoever spreads my message to the world is the person dearest to me. Therefore, in order to gain the mercy of Bhagwan Krishna, devotees selflessly distribute the Bhagavad Gita.
