In an event on Guru Purnima yesterday, ten thousand people gathered at Allen East Center in Texas, USA, to recite the Bhagavad Gita together.

This grand-scale Bhagavad Gita Parayan Yagya marked the first of its kind in America.

The recitation of the Bhagavad Gita during this event further emphasised the importance of the sacred scripture as a guiding light in one's spiritual path.

The event was organised by Yoga Sangeeta Trust America and SGS Geeta Foundation.
