TODAY IS MOKSHADA EKADASI, THE BIRTH DAY OF BHAGAVAD GITA Mokshada Ekadashi is a Hindu holy day, which falls on the 11th lunar day (ekadashi) of the fortnight of the waxing moon in theHindu month of Margashirsha (Agrahayana), corresponding to November-December. Hindus, particularly Vaishnavas observe a 24-hour fast in honour of Lord Krishna, Who spoke Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna in the Balltle Field of Kurukshetra on this DAY. The Mokshada Ekadashi is celebrated on the same day as Gita Jayanti, the day when Krishna gave the holy sermon of the Bhagavad Gita to the Pandava prince Arjuna, as described in the Hindu epic Mahabharata. The 700-verse Bhagavad Gita told at the beginning of the climactic Mahabharata war between the Pandavas and their cousins, the Kauravas at Kurukshetra, deals with a variety of Hindu philosophical ideas.
