Srimad Bhagavad Gita

The 700-verse dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna in the Bhishma Parva of the Mahabharata — the most widely read Hindu scripture worldwide, and the essential guide to dharma, karma, bhakti and jnana.


CHAPTER 2, VERSE 47 — KARMA YOGA

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥

Karmaṇy evādhikāras te mā phaleṣu kadācana, mā karma-phala-hetur bhūr mā te saṅgo 'stv akarmaṇi.


हिन्दी भावार्थ तुम्हारा अधिकार केवल कर्म करने में है, उसके फलों में कभी नहीं। तुम कर्मफल के हेतु मत बनो और कर्म न करने में भी तुम्हारी आसक्ति न हो।

ENGLISH Your right is to action alone, never to its fruits. Do not be driven by results, nor be attached to inaction.

CHAPTER 4, VERSES 7–8 — THE DIVINE PROMISE

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्॥
परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम्।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे॥

Yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata, abhyutthānam adharmasya tadātmānaṃ sṛjāmy aham. Paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṃ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām, dharma-saṃsthāpanārthāya sambhavāmi yuge yuge.


हिन्दी भावार्थ हे भारत! जब-जब धर्म की हानि और अधर्म की वृद्धि होती है, तब-तब मैं स्वयं को प्रकट करता हूँ। सज्जनों की रक्षा, दुष्टों के विनाश और धर्म की स्थापना के लिए मैं युग-युग में प्रकट होता हूँ।

ENGLISH Whenever dharma declines and adharma rises, O Bharata, I manifest myself. To protect the good, to end evil, and to re-establish dharma, I appear in every age.
