Celebrating International Gita Mahotsav in Canada, the Indian High Commission in Ottawa organized ‘Uttar ~ Answer’, a thematic musical dance ballet based on the Bhagavad Gita.
The event, hosted in collaboration with Jeevan Jyoti Performing Arts, was held at the Kailash Mital Theatre at Carleton University in Ottawa.
“Set on the battleground at the onset of a devastating war, the performance brought to life the timeless dialogue of the Bhagavad Gita — a profound exchange between the two protagonists on truth, duty, detachment, reconciliation, and the deeper philosophical questions of human existence. The choreography drew segmentally from these teachings, translating verses of the Gita into expressive movement, rhythm, and emotion,” the Indian High Commission in Ottawa posted on X.

Addressing the gathering, Indian High Commissioner to Canada Dinesh K. Patnaik said the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita are not merely spiritual wisdom, but a living cultural heritage of India — one that continues to inspire harmony, responsibility, and resilience in modern life.
Indian missions worldwide have been celebrating International Gita Mahotsav 2025, highlighting the spiritual and philosophical teachings of the Bhagavad Gita.
The Gita Mahotsav is celebrated to promote the Gita’s teachings of duty, righteousness, and knowledge on the Ekadashi, the 11th lunar day of the Shukla Paksha in the month of Margashirsha, when Lord Krishna delivered the eternal sermons of the Gita to Arjun on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
Earlier on Dec. 6, the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita came alive as Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan in Canada celebrated International Gita Mahotsav in Toronto.
During the event, Indian Consul in Toronto Kuljeet Singh Arora reflected on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, drawing parallels between its philosophy and the values of diplomacy, balance, and service. The event featured live devotional bhajans, stage plays, and spiritual discourses.
