In Brief:
This is the anniversary day commemorating the day that Srimad Bhagavad Gita was spoken by Lord Sri Krishna to his dearmost devotee Arjuna at the place now known as Jyotisar Tirtha (URL: ?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZcClWMz2aE?) amid the waring families of the Kurus and the Pandavas at Kurukshetra. If one wishes one can still go and visit that place and see the monument erected there with Krishna as Parthasarati (the chariot driver) and Arjuna the warrior on their chariot. It is claimed by the ashram who maintain the shrine that the tree that is next to Them is a continum growth of the original tree witness that was there at the actual day of speaking.
As a humble token of gratitude and service to the most successful preacher of Gita to the English speaking population Srila Prabhupada, who faithfully presented Srimad Bhagavad-Gita to the English Speaking world, Hare Krishna Temple Bloomington is offering 11 Free Copies of the Book ?Srimad Bhagavad-Gita - As It Is? with purports by His Divine Grace A C Bhakthivedantaswamy Srila Prabhupada on first come first serve basis.
