Ujjain and the State Share a Long-Standing Tradition of Education

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that Ujjain, the city of Baba Shri Mahakal, which has always been the focal point of religious and spiritual energy, is today looking more grand, divine, and energetic due to the recitation of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta. To clearly explain the intricacies of the three paths of liberation – Bhaktiyoga, Gyanyoga and Karmayoga by using Arjun as a medium, Lord Shri Krishna had manifested his vast form in Kurukshetra on the day of Mokshada Ekadashi and given the message of knowledge in the form of Shrimad Bhagavad Gita.The essence of the Vedas is in the Upanishads and the essence of the Upanishads is in the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita. In this sense, Bhagavad Gita is a crash course in the world’s oldest and richest spiritual encyclopedia. Nowadays the meaning of religion is linked only to the method of worship, but in Sanatan culture, the real meaning of religion was the ideal code of conduct. Shrimad Bhagavad Gita is the manifestation of that ideal conduct of living. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav was addressing the International Geeta Mahotsav in Ujjain on Wednesday.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that Lord Krishna has a deep connection with Madhya Pradesh and Ujjain. After killing Kansa, Lord Krishna made Maharaja Agrasen the king again and himself came to Sandipani Ashram in Ujjain and received education in 64 Kalas. It shows the importance of education in human life and connects Madhya Pradesh and Ujjain with the eternal tradition of education. In the Mahabharata war, Lord Shri Krishna gave his NarayaniSenato the Kauravas and himself remained on the side of the Pandavas. Lord Krishna’s NarayaniSenawas so disciplined that its soldiers did not flee the battlefield and remained in the war till the end.

The teachings of Karmayoga are obtained from Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta from Lord Shri Krishna. Not only in India, people all over the world are following the teachings of Geeta.Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta gives the message of peace, tolerance, justice, ideal life values ​​and dignity in the lives of living beings. For this reason, Sanatan culture exists in all its glory even after thousands of years.

The message of Geeta inspires us to dedicate every moment of our lives to the welfare of mankind. Whether you are a student, a housewife, a businessman, an employee, or an officer, whether you are a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Jain, a Sikh, a Christian, or a Muslim, Shrimad Bhagavad Gita will help you become better in your field, in your religion. It will guide you to become a better professional, a better father, a better son, a better citizen, and a better leader.Therefore, to achieve our goal in life, we all should recite the divine text of Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta. The knowledge of Geeta is for everyone, Geeta is the real word of God (Devavani), and Geeta is Divyavani.

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that today in Bhopal, Bhagwad devotees have created a unique world record by reciting Geeta. We are also including the Geeta in the curriculum in Madhya Pradesh. More than 45 lakh children participated in the competition for school students based on Shrimad Bhagavad Geeta and won prizes.
