During this mass recitation, 21,000 children chanted verses from the Gita in unison, creating a divine spectacle that filled the atmosphere with knowledge, devotion, and spirituality. This unprecedented participation reflected the Indian principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini attended the event and announced a special holiday on Tuesday for the school students who took part in the Global Gita Path in Kurukshetra. Yoga guru Baba Ramdev and Gita Manishi Swami Gyananand Maharaj were also present on the occasion. Extending greetings on the auspicious occasion of Margashirsha Shukla Ekadashi and Gita Jayanti, the Chief Minister prayed to Lord Krishna to illuminate the lives of citizens with the light of knowledge. He said that on this sacred date, 5,163 years ago, Lord Krishna imparted the divine message of the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna—teachings that continue to guide humanity even today. He noted that the sky echoed with the chanting of the Ashtadashi verses by 21,000 students, and expressed pride that these verses were being recited simultaneously across various regions of India as well as in many other countries.

He added that the significance of reciting the Gita is not only religious but also scientific. The positive sound waves produced by chanting the mantras of the Vedas, Upanishads, and the Gita bring peace to the mind and brain, instill moral values in thoughts, and energize the individual.
