BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh is all set to observe International Geeta Jayanti on December 1 with unprecedented grandeur as the 15th chapter of the holy book 'Shrimad Bhagavad Gita' will be collectively recited across all development blocks, districts, and divisional headquarters of the state.
Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav announced that government school students, jail inmates, and common citizens will actively participate in the mass recitation programme.
"Lord Krishna bestowed the immortal knowledge of the Gita. He had also acquired academic knowledge on the sacred soil of Sandipani Ashram in Ujjain around 5, 000 years ago. It is our duty to celebrate Geeta Jayanti with full devotion and gaiety, " Dr Yadav said while appealing to every citizen to join the celebrations.
