While speaking at a seminar at the Gita Gyan Sansthanam and Kurukshetra University as part of the international Gita festival, Haryana Chief Minister said that "books related to Gita will become a part of the curriculum for Classes 5 and 7."
The Minister further said that the decision has been taken with the aim to teach students how to recite the Shlokas and to imbibe the essence of Gita in them.
The Chief Minister said the youth should imbibe the essence of Gita in their lives as the message of the holy book was given not for only Arjuna but for all of us. In order to enhance the scale of the annual international Gita Mahotsav, a Gita Jayanti committee would be constituted from next year.
He further added that a Mahabharata-themed museum is being constructed at 'Geetasthali' in Jyotisar on two acres of land at a cost of Rs 205 crore. In this building, Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, the mythical Saraswati river and Vedic civilisation will be depicted through multimedia systems, he said.
He said on the lines of Ram Lila, Krishna Utsav would also be organised during the international Gita Mahotsava from next year. In this festival, which lasts around six days, different incidents related to the life of Lord Krishna will be depicted through tableaux, he said, adding that there will be a light and sound show as well. He said the Bhagavad Gita was a source of inspiration for the country's freedom fighters too.
