News Topical, Digital Desk : Gita Jayanti 2025: In today's fast-paced world, work-life balance is a paramount need for everyone. Amidst the ever-increasing pressure of work, stress, competition, and digital distractions, maintaining mental balance and devoting time to personal life is a challenge for many.
The teachings of the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, based on the epic Mahabharata, are also a guide for modern life. More than five thousand years ago, Lord Krishna delivered the Gita's teachings to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, and these teachings remain just as relevant today.
Furthermore, the Bhagavad Gita is the only religious text in Hinduism whose birth anniversary is celebrated. Gita Jayanti falls on the Ekadashi Tithi of the bright fortnight of Margashirsha month every year, which this year falls on Monday, December 1, 2025.
The first sutra of the Gita is 'Nishkam Karma'.
This means, focus on your work, not worry about the results. Most workplace stress stems from expectations. When a person puts their heart and soul into their work and lets go of the worry about the outcome, mental stress automatically reduces. This also improves the quality of work and keeps the mind calm.
The second sutra is 'equanimity'.
Accept both success and failure with equanimity. Today's professional life is full of ups and downs for everyone. It's impossible for every project to be successful, every deal to be profitable, every effort to be fruitful. Therefore, the Gita teaches us to remain composed, regardless of the outcome.
The third principle is mind control.
In the digital age, notifications, phone calls, chats, videos, meetings, and social media make the mind unstable. According to the Gita, life becomes simple for those who have conquered their mind. This means that there should be complete concentration at work and a full dedication to family at home. This principle is the most effective formula for work-life balance.
