The month of Margashirsh: The Era of Bhagavad Gita Revelation
Margashirsh is the ninth month of the Hindu lunar calendar, falling between November and December. It is also known as Agrahayana and holds immense spiritual significance in Sanatan Dharma. Margashirsh is the month when Bhagwan Shree Krishna imparted the eternal wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjun on the battlefield of Kurukshetra during the Mahabharat.
In the Bhagavad Gita (10.35), Shree Krishn says,
“मासानां मार्गशीर्षोऽहमृतूनां कुसुमाकरः ”
“Among months, I am Margashirsh.” This emphasizes the month’s supreme importance as a time for Dharmik’s growth and reflection. Historically, Margashirsh marked the beginning of the harvest cycle in the Ancient Bharatvarsh, making it a time of gratitude and prayer for abundance.
