Best verses of Bhagavad Gita

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Om Namoh Bhagavateh Vasudevayah
Om Namoh Narayanaya


Ananyaaschinthayantho mam
ye janah paryupaasathe
Thesham nithyaabhiyukthanam
yogakshemam vahaamyaham

Lord Krishna says that I shall take care of the well being, and welfare of that bhaktha who nurtures no other thought than me. He depends on nobody but Me. Those who always think of Me, who always hold on to my feet, I take care of their yoga and kshema.” Yoga means attaining the unattainable. Kshemam means to keep safe that which is attained. Only these two are needed in life.

karmanye vadhika raste,
Ma phaleshu kadachana;
ma karma phala he tur bhuh,
ma te sangvasta karmani

To action alone hast thou a right and never at all to its fruits; let not the fruits of action be thy motive; neither let there be in thee any attachment to inaction.

patram puspam phalam toyam
yo me bhaktyâ prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam
asnâmi prayatâtmanah

God will accept anything you offer with love and devotion, be it a leaf, a flower or water. The spiritual meaning of this means the body of the devotee should be the leaf, the flower is the heart and the water is tears of joy. We have to offer only these three.

yogasthah kuru karmani
sangam tyaktvaa dhanamjaya
siddhy asiddhyoh samo bhutvaa
samatvam yoga ucyate

Do your duty to the best of your ability, O Arjuna, with your mind attached to the Lord, abandoning worry and selfish attachment to the results, and remaining calm in both success and failure. Equanimity of the mind is called Karma-yoga.

yatra yogesvarah krsno
yatra pârtho dhanur-dharah
tatra srîr vijayo bhûtir
dhruvâ nîtir matir mama

I am convinced that wherever there is the Lord Krishna and Arjuna carrying the bow and arrows, there opulence, victory, great power and morality are always assured.

yada yada hi dharmasya
glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya
tadatmanam srjamy aham

Whenever and wherever there is decline of dharma (righteousness) and ascendance of adharma (unrighteousness), at that time I manifest Myself in visible form. For the protection of the righteous and destruction of the wicked, and for the sake of establishing dharma again, I incarnate Myself on earth ages after ages.

Paritranaya sadhunam
vinashaya cha dushkritam.
Dharma sansthapanarthaya
sambhavami yuge yuge.

For the up-liftment of the good and virtuous,
For the destruction of evil,
For the re-establishment of the natural law,
I will come, in every age

sarva-dharmân parityajya
mâm ekam saranam vraja
aham tvâm sarva-pâpebhyo
moksayisyâmi mâ sucah

Lord Krishna said: Give up all dharma and seek my refuge, I shall grant Moksa (liberation from the cycle of birth and dead).
