- Spiritual enlightenment

December 2026 begins the sacred month of Margashirsha — celebrated in the Bhagavad Gita when Lord Krishna says "Among months, I am Margashirsha." This month is considered the most sattvic (pure) period of the Vedic year, ideal for spiritual practice, reading scripture, and any act of devotion. Fasting, charity, and meditation done in Margashirsha are believed to yield multiplied merit.
Mokshada Ekadashi (December 11) is the most significant Ekadashi of the year — it is the day the Bhagavad Gita was spoken by Krishna to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Fasting and reciting the Gita on this day is said to grant liberation (Moksha). Gita Jayanti celebrations happen worldwide on this date. For weddings and griha pravesh, the weeks between December 14–24 carry strong auspicious muhurtas, making December an excellent month to plan major life events as the year closes.
