Kolkata; December 2025: Over 5 lakh people participated in a mass recital of the holy Bhagavad Gita at Kolkata’s Brigade Parade Ground today on Sunday.

Earlier today, BJP’s Dilip Ghosh hailed the mass recital, saying that the event shows the “mass awakening of Hindus. This is the result of the mass awakening of Hindus. Last time it was organised in Siliguri where 1 Lakh people participated. Bengal also wants this recital because Hindutva is in danger;  Gita is the best medium to unite everyone“, Ghosh told media reporters.

Earlier on Saturday, West Bengal BJP leader Sukanta Majumdar served food to devotees ahead of the mass Gita recitation programme. The initiative was part of the preparations for the spiritual event, which aims to bring together devotees from across the city to engage in the collective reading of the sacred scripture.

Highlighting the text as being the “most sacred grant of Hindus”, Padma Shri awardee Kartik Maharaj, also known as Pradiptananda Maharaj, said, “Bhagavad Gita is the most sacred ‘granth’ of Hindus, Bhagavad Gita unites all the Hindus. This is a part of the attempt to unite all the Hindus. Saints from across the nation will participate in this programme”.

Meanwhile, BJP MP Jyotirmay Singh Mahato had said yesterday, “We are serving food to the devotees who have come from various parts of the nation to participate in the mass Gita recitation program. More than 5 lakh people will participate in this programme“.

Earlier on Saturday – 06th December 2025, Majumdar stated that saints from Bengal have been organising the Gita recitation event, and that their blessing is required to save Bengal. “For the past few years, the saints of Bengal have been organising Gita recitations, which are attended by lakhs of people. 5 lakh people are going to come here tomorrow to collectively recite the Gita, in which one

chapter will be recited. The blessings of the saints are necessary to save Bengal, and I believe that we will receive this blessing tomorrow, Majumdar said.
