Bhopal, Nov 27 (NationPress) Madhya Pradesh is gearing up to celebrate International Geeta Jayanti on December 1 with exceptional splendor as the 15th chapter of the revered text 'Shrimad Bhagavad Gita' will be recited collectively across all development blocks, districts, and divisional headquarters throughout the state.

Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav has declared that students from government schools, inmates from jails, and the general populace will take part in this mass recitation initiative.

"The immortal wisdom of the Gita was imparted by Lord Krishna. He also gained academic knowledge on the sacred grounds of Sandipani Ashram in Ujjain about 5,000 years ago. We must commemorate Geeta Jayanti with total devotion and joy," Dr Yadav stated, encouraging all citizens to join in the festivities.

A significant 'Geeta Gyan Competition' (online) has been arranged as part of the celebrations, providing people from all backgrounds with a thrilling chance to win attractive prizes.

Students, young adults, jail inmates, and the community can engage in the quiz-based competition by signing up at http://geetamahotsav.com.

Exciting rewards await the winners, including two-year academic scholarships, brand new e-bikes, laptops, and cash prizes.

This competition is accessible to all, regardless of age or background, creating a distinctive platform where even prison inmates can compete alongside schoolchildren and other citizens for the same prizes.

Dr Yadav highlighted that the main goal of the program is to spread the eternal message of Yogeshwar Lord Krishna to every household and individual.

"The Bhagavad Gita is more than a religious scripture; it serves as a comprehensive guide to life. Through the Geeta Jayanti celebrations and the Gyan Competition, we aim to reconnect our youth and society with this timeless wisdom," he added.

Special recitation events will be conducted inside jails and government schools, while public celebrations are being organized at both the block and district levels.

Various cultural organizations have been instructed to ensure extensive publicity and seamless execution of the online competition.

Citizens are encouraged to visit http://geetamahotsav.com soon, participate in the Geeta Gyan Competition, and become part of this spiritually enriching celebration that seeks to bolster Sanatan Sanskriti across Madhya Pradesh.

This initiative represents another effort by the state government to promote Indian cultural heritage while offering meaningful incentives to students and underprivileged members of society.
