GITA JAYANTI-2009

The main difference between Atma (Jeeva) & ParAmatma (Deva) is all the Jeevas (living beings) are endowed with three gunas, Satvic, Rajasic and Thamasic, where as Paramatma is beyond these three gunas and also described as Nirguna (No gunas), Nirakara (no image) and also all the jeevas came from 5 elemets, namely Vayu (Air), jala (water) Agni (fire), Prithvi or Bhumi (Earth) and Akasa (space) where as Deva is beyond five elements.
And all the Jeevas or Atmas came from ParAmatma. This is in nutshell the Creation.

Gita Jayanti, also referred as Bhagawad Geetha Jayanthi, is the day when the Bhagvad Gita was rendered by Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Kurukshetra on the first day of the famous 18-day battle in the Mahabharata. Gita Jayanthi falls on the Ekadashi day of Shukla Paksha (the bright half) of the Margashirsha month (November-December) in traditional Hindi calendar. In 2009, the date of Gita Jayanti is November 28.
The day is observed all around the world with the reading of Bhagavad Gita, which is referred outside India as the Bible of the Hindus. Discussions and seminars are organised on the day.

The ideal way to celebrate Gita Jayanti is by reading at least a stanza from the Bhagavad Gita.

The Bhagavad Gita is considered to be the greatest spiritual books the world has ever known. In a very clear and wonderful way Lord Krishna describes the science of self-realization and the exact process by which a human being can establish their eternal relationship with God.
