    Mokshada Ekadashi Vrata

    मोक्षदा एकादशी

    विशेष अडियो सामग्री

    श्रीकृष्ण उवाच:

    मार्गशीर्षे मासे कृष्ण पक्षे य: पिबेद्व्रतं।

    मोक्षदा नाम सा ज्ञेया सर्वपापप्रणाशिनी॥


    (Translation: "In the month of Margashirsha, observing the vrat (fast) on the Krishna Paksha Ekadashi, known as Mokshada, destroys all sins.


    Are the tithi of Geeta Jayanti and Mokshada Ekadashi both the same?

    According to the Bhagavad Gita Mahapurana, Mokshada Ekadashi is called the Ekadashi of Mansir Shukla Paksha.

    Mokshada Ekadashi is also commemorated as Geeta Jayanti. This day is the starting tithi when Lord Shri Krishna started to narrate Srimad Vagwat Geeta to Arjuna. So today is the birthday of Bhagwat Geeta, the only book that advocates for righteousness in human life and its sheer practicalities.

    What happens on Ekadashi?

    Ekadashi is especially the worship of Lord Bishnu. Today, incense, lamps, and offerings are offered by setting up a statue of Bishnu. Similarly, it is believed that giving Dakshina to Brahmins will bring religious and spiritual returns. Since salvation is obtained from all sins, taking the brat of this Ekadashi is considered appropriate from a religious point of view. This Ekadashi is called 'Mokshada' because it brings salvation from sin. There is a religious belief that after the brat of Mokshada Ekadashi, the ancestors will be freed from all sins and will live in heaven.

    Today, along with the book of Gita lessons, Lord Krishna and Vedavyasa are also worshipped with devotion. To observe the brat of Mokshada Ekadashi, one has to make barley bread and mung dal and eat it only once on the previous day, i.e. on the tenth day.

    In the same way, after completing the brat of Ekadashi, one should take a bath in the morning on the next day of Dwadashi and break the fast with vegetarian foods. On the day of Ekadashi, one should worship the Lord and stay awake at night singing Gita verses. The Gita frees human life from ignorance and darkness and leads to prosperity and good deeds. It is believed that doing so will lead to the supremacy of ideas in human life.

    Geeta Jayanti

    गीता जयन्ती

    विशेष अडियो सामग्री

    कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।

    मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते संगोअस्त्वकर्मणि

    श्रीमदभागवतगिता अध्याय २ श्लोक ४७०

    Do deeds but do not expect output. You get as much result as you should get. Never give up, always move forward.


    Importance of the holy Geeta

    Grace and knowledge of the Gita, a unique text of Sanatan Darshan and considered to be the only life-giving guide of human life, which was adopted by the world community. The Gita Jayanti is being celebrated today to further highlight the importance of the Gita, a book that has been admired and praised by the great philosophers of the last century, from the great scientists. Mokshada Ekadashi is also commemorated as Geeta Jayanti.


    Krishna and the new direction of humanity: Before 5000 years


    About 5000 thousand years ago, at the beginning of Kali Yuga, Lord Krishna had given Gita a new direction to humanity. That is why the day of Mokshada Ekadashi is also celebrated as Gita Jayanti. The battle of Mahabharata is the background of the Gita which shows the philosophy of equality, injustice, and oppression-free society and is one of the oldest texts in the world.

    Today, Lord Krishna recited the Gita and told the essence of life to Arjuna, who was bound by worldly love in Kurukshetra.

    Many scholars believe that the sermon that was preached about 5000 thousand years ago, that is, at the beginning of Kali Yuga, should still be pondered by the best sentient beings in the world.

    Even those who have faith here must read the Gita once in a lifetime. It is said that the solution to all the problems of life is found in the Gita.

    The Gita is far superior to any religion, the Gita is open to the followers of any religion or philosophy, and the uninterrupted and continual knowledge of the Gita is the property and source of all of us. Good luck.

    World AIDS Day

    World AIDS Day is an opportunity to reflect on the progress made to date, raise awareness about the challenges that remain to achieve the goals of ending AIDS by 2030 and mobilize all stakeholders to jointly redouble efforts to ensure the success of the HIV response.


    Global ambition for HIV/AIDS

    The ambition to reduce 90 per cent of new HIV infections and treat and reduce 90 per cent of discrimination by 2030 is undergoing. Today, we would like to commemorate the HIV-positive and affected people living in remote villages of Nepal and with limited access to health facilities.

    The slogan for World AIDS Day 2025 is “Overcoming Disruption, Transforming the AIDS Response.” This year’s theme highlights the need to stay strong in the fight against HIV/AIDS, even in the midst of current challenges. It calls on everyone to come together, turn obstacles into opportunities, and move toward an AIDS-free future through community-centered efforts, equal access to services, human-rights–based approaches, and innovative solutions.

    World AIDS Day first calls on us to speak openly about sexual and reproductive health and rights, carrying various banners, signs, and promotional materials with red ribbons and organizing various rallies, gatherings, and seminars to spread awareness about HIV / AIDS.

    HIV and AIDS

    HIV and AIDS are two different things, HIV is a virus that causes AIDS. HIV is now considered more of an infection than a disease worldwide.

    Not every HIV-infected person has AIDS. Today, HIV-positive people are getting the same comfortable and long life as others by adopting regular use of medicine and undergoing a healthy lifestyle. Their medicines are freely available in various government health institutions of the Nepal government.

    Would you feel comfortable working with someone living with HIV/AIDS?

    Today, on World AIDS Day, lamps are lit for the eternal peace of the souls of all those infected with HIV. Until a decade ago, HIV was an epidemic in Nepal, an epidemic is an infection that can happen to anyone.

    Concentrated Epidemic of Nepal

    Due to the increasing support and investment of governmental and non-governmental organizations, the knowledge and public awareness of HIV among Nepalis is increasing and today HIV has become a concentrated epidemic. Now the prevalence of HIV is concentrated within a certain risk group population. The Government of Nepal has set up a National AIDS and STD Control Center in Teku Kathmandu to deal with issues related to HIV and its multifaceted impact, especially on HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

    Hamro Patro - Connecting Nepali Communities
    Hamro Patro is one of the first Nepali app to include Nepali Patro, launched in 2010. We started with a Nepali Calendar mobile app to help Nepalese living abroad stay in touch with Nepalese festivals and important dates in Nepali calendar year.
