Shastra Daan

Gita Jayanti, the day on which the Bhagavad-gita was spoken by Krishna to Arjuna on the Battlefield of Kurukshetra. The Bhagavad-gita continues to be one of the world's most popular and inspiring books, covering topics such as the immortality of the self, the origin of all existence, how to remain peaceful in the most trying circumstances, and the relationship between us and God. It is observed on Ekadashi tithi (11th day) of Shukla Paksha in the month of Margashirsha. By the mercy of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada we distribute the message of God in the form of books very enthusiastically in this month.

Ignorance is the mother of all sins. The giving of the gift of knowledge is the best charity. It is equivalent to giving the whole world in charity ~ Mahabharata 12.209.113

What is Shastra Daan?

The Shastra Dana, which means ‘the gift of scriptures’, gives the opportunity to get close to Lord Krishna by sharing the gift with everyone, the knowledge of the Bhagvad Gita and Bhakti Yoga.

The benefits are immense both for the donor and the recipient. It spreads the knowledge of the absolute truth and affording a person the chance to perfect their life, and there is no flip side to donating the Gita.

Gita is considered by the university as an excellent source of spiritual knowledge and thought for humanity.

The Gita teaches us the right way to lead life, spread the knowledge by donating copies of BHAGAVAD Gita, and thus help people get the spiritual solution to their material problems.
