Gita Jayanti 2026: Date and the Birth of the Bhagavad Gita
Gita Jayanti 2026 falls on Saturday, 19 December 2026, on Mokshada Ekadashi. It marks the day Lord Krishna imparted the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
Why it matters
The Gita is among the most beloved scriptures in the world, a timeless guide to duty (dharma), action (karma) and devotion (bhakti). Gita Jayanti is observed with recitation, study and reflection on its verses.
A living teaching
Falling on Mokshada Ekadashi, the day also carries the promise of liberation, a fitting note for a scripture that points beyond fear toward clarity and right action.
The Gita's first lesson is simple: do your duty, and let go of the fear of the fruit.
