Bhagavad Geeta was revealed to Arjun by Lord Krishna -- the eighth incarnation of Lord Vishnu -- in Kurukshetra during the Mahabharat. Devotees observe a "Vaikuntha Ekadashi" seeking Lord Vishnu's blessings so that they can get salvation (Moksha).

Geeta Jayanti is celebrated on the auspicious day of Shukla Ekadashi of Margashirsha month in the Hindu calendar. Geeta Jayanti is celebrated to mark the birth anniversary of the sacred text of Hindus, the Bhagavad Geeta.
