Bhagavadgita Foundation is also actively seeking the support of the Government of India to recognize this sacred day as “The International Wisdom Day” and to declare Bhagavadgita as the National Book of India.
The celebrations are envisioned on a grand scale, with participation from over one lakh devotees in multi-day programs featuring the chanting of all 18 chapters of Bhagavadgita, Krishna dance ballets, bhajans, skits, dramas, and the Gita Ratha Yatra.
As part of these celebrations, distinguished individuals are honored through prestigious international awards.
