हे भरतवंशी, जब-जब जहाँ-जहाँ धर्म का ह्रास होता है और अधर्म का प्रबल उदय होता है, तब-तब मैं अवतरित होता हूँ

English Translation:
Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion – at that time I descend Myself.

परित्राणाय साधुनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम्।
धर्मसंस्थानार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे॥ ४-८

To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium.

जन्म कर्म च मे दिव्यमेवं यो वेत्ति तत्त्वतः।
त्यक्त्वा देहं पुनर्जन्म नैति मामेति सोऽर्जुन॥ ४-९

Transliteration:
janma karma ca me divyam evaṁ yo vetti tattvataḥ।
tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so ’rjun॥ 4-9

Hindi Translation:
जो मेरे प्रकटन और गतिविधियों की पारलौकिक प्रकृति को जानता है, वह शरीर छोड़ने पर, इस भौतिक संसार में फिर से जन्म नहीं लेता, बल्कि हे अर्जुन, मेरे शाश्वत निवास को प्राप्त करता है।

English Translation:
One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna.


Chapter 4, verse 22

यदृच्छालाभसंतुष्टो द्वन्द्वातीतो विमत्सरः।
समः सिद्धावसिद्धौ च कृत्वापि न निबध्यते॥ ४-२२

Transliteration:
Yadṛcchā-lābha-santuṣṭo dvandvātīto vimatsaraḥ।
samaḥ siddhāv asiddhau ca kṛtvāpi na nibadhyate॥ 4-22

Hindi Translation:
जो अपने आप होने वाले लाभ से संतुष्ट है, जो द्वैत से मुक्त है और ईर्ष्या नहीं करता, जो सफलता और विफलता दोनों में स्थिर है, वह कर्म करते हुए भी कभी नहीं बँधता।

Chapter 4, verse 30

सर्वेऽप्येते यज्ञविदो यज्ञक्षपितकल्मषाः।
यज्ञशिष्टामृतभुजो यान्ति ब्रह्म सनातनम्॥ ४-३०

sarve’py ete yajña-vido yajña-kṣapita-kalmaṣāḥ।
Yajña-śiṣṭāmṛta-bhujo yānti brahma sanātanam॥ 4-30

Hindi Translation:
यज्ञ का अर्थ जानने वाले ये सभी कर्ता पापकर्मों से मुक्त हो जाते हैं, और यज्ञों के फलों के अमृत को चखने के बाद, वे सर्वोच्च शाश्वत वातावरण की ओर बढ़ते हैं।

English Translation:
All these performers who know the meaning of sacrifice become cleansed of sinful reactions, and, having tasted the nectar of the results of sacrifices, they advance toward the supreme eternal atmosphere.

Explanation:
The main aim of performing the sacrifices explained in the Vedas is to have control over senses. The only cause of one’s existence in the material world is Sense gratification. Hence, until and unless one takes control of his senses, he/she cannot be elevated to an eternal platform of full knowledge, full bliss and full life.

इसलिए अज्ञान के कारण तुम्हारे हृदय में जो संदेह उत्पन्न हो गए हैं, उन्हें ज्ञान के शस्त्र से काट देना चाहिए। योग से सुसज्जित, हे भारत, खड़े होकर युद्ध करो।

English Translation:
Therefore the doubts which have arisen in your heart out of ignorance should be slashed by the weapon of knowledge. Armed with yoga, O Bhārata, stand and fight.

Explanation:
The Bhagavad Gita teaches us to overcome our doubts and conquer our tasks, even when we feel that a situation is not in our control. This is a valuable lesson for all generations.


Chapter 4, verse 34

तद्विद्धि प्रणिपातेन परिप्रश्न‍ेन सेवया।
उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्त्वदर्शिनः॥ ४-३४

Transliteration:
tad viddhi praṇipātena paripraśnena sevayā।
upadekṣyanti te jñānaṁ jñāninas tattva-darśinaḥ॥ 4-34

Hindi Translation:
किसी आध्यात्मिक गुरु के पास जाकर सत्य को जानने का प्रयास करें। उससे विनम्रतापूर्वक पूछें और उसकी सेवा करें। आत्मसाक्षात्कारी आत्माएँ आपको ज्ञान प्रदान कर सकती हैं क्योंकि उन्होंने सत्य को देखा है।

English Translation:
Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realised souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth.

English Translation:
The humble sages, by virtue of true knowledge, see with equal vision a learned and gentle brāhmaṇa, a cow, an elephant, a dog and a dog-eater [outcaste].


Chapter 5, verse 22

ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दु:खयोनय एव ते।
आद्यन्तवन्त: कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुध:॥ ५-२२

Transliteration:
ye hi saṁsparśa-jā bhogā duḥkha-yonaya eva te।
ādy-antavantaḥ kaunteya na teṣu ramate budhaḥ॥ 5-22

Hindi Translation:
एक बुद्धिमान व्यक्ति दुख के स्रोतों में भाग नहीं लेता है, जो भौतिक इंद्रियों के संपर्क के कारण होते हैं। हे कुंती के पुत्र, ऐसे सुखों का आदि और अंत होता है, और इसलिए बुद्धिमान व्यक्ति उनसे प्रसन्न नहीं होता।

English Translation:
An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kuntī, such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.


Chapter 5, verse 24

chinna-dvaidhā yatātmānaḥ sarva-bhūta-hite ratāḥ॥ 5-25

जो संदेहों से उत्पन्न होने वाले द्वंद्वों से परे हैं, जिनके मन भीतर लगे हुए हैं, जो हमेशा सभी जीवों के कल्याण के लिए काम में लगे रहते हैं और जो सभी पापों से मुक्त हैं, वे परम में मुक्ति प्राप्त करते हैं।

English Translation:
Those who are beyond the dualities that arise from doubts, whose minds are engaged within, who are always busy working for the welfare of all living beings and who are free from all sins achieve liberation in the Supreme.

Hindi Translation:
भगवान ने कहा: वह जो अपने कर्म के फल के प्रति अनासक्त है और जो अपने कर्तव्य के अनुसार कार्य करता है वह जीवन के संन्यासी क्रम में है, और वह सच्चा रहस्यवादी है, न कि वह जो कोई आग नहीं जलाता है और कोई कर्तव्य नहीं करता है।

uddharedātmanātmānaṃ nātmānamavasādayet।
ātmaiva hyātmano bandhurātmaiva ripurātmanaḥ॥

Hindi Translation:
स्वयं अपना उद्धार करे अपना पतन न करे,

English Translation:
Shri Krishna said: Son of Pṛthā, a transcendentalist engaged in auspicious activities does not meet with destruction either in this world or in the spiritual world; one who does good, My friend, is never overcome by evil.

And of all yogīs, the one with great faith who always abides in Me, thinks of Me within himself and renders transcendental loving service to Me – he is the most intimately united with Me in yoga and is the highest of all. That is My opinion.


Bhagavad Gita Quote mentioned by J. R. Oppenheimer

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, verse 32

The movie Oppenheimer is here and there is a lot of buzz around this Bhagavad Gita quote, quoted by J. Robert Oppenheimer in one of his interviews after the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Oppenheimer was the architect of Atomic bombs developed by the US.

The context of this verse is -
Arjun had asked Krishna to show him his universal form. When Krishna showed him, Arjun was overwhelmed by the sight. He saw countless universes and all the beings within them. He was filled with awe and wonder but also fear, and confusion. Arjun did not feel like fighting.

That’s when Shree Krishna tells him that he is the mighty Time, and Time destroys everything and everyone. Arise, Arjun, and fight! These warriors are already slain by me. You are simply an instrument of my will.

Similarly, Oppenheimer was perplexed when he realised the true potential of what he had created. And he advocated for placing a ban on nuclear weapons. Using Bhagavad Gita's teachings on the cyclical nature of creation and destruction, Oppenheimer sought solace and consolation after the tragedy.

Bhagavad Gita Quote mentioned by J. R. Oppenheimer

श्रीभगवानुवाच - कालोऽस्मि लोकक्षयकृत्प्रवृद्धो लोकान्समाहर्तुमिह प्रवृत्त:।
‍ऋतेऽपि त्वां न भविष्यन्ति सर्वे येऽवस्थिता: प्रत्यनीकेषु योधा:॥

Transliteration:
śrībhagavānuvāca kālo'smi lokakṣayakṛtpravṛddho lokānsamāhartumiha pravṛtta:।
‍ṛte'pi tvāṃ na bhaviṣyanti sarve ye'vasthitā: pratyanīkeṣu yodhā:॥

Hindi Translation:
परम प्रभु ने कहा - “मैं प्रलय का मूलकारण और महाकाल हूँ जो जगत का संहार करने के लिए आता है। तुम्हारे युद्ध में भाग लेने के बिना भी युद्ध की व्यूह रचना में खड़े विरोधी पक्ष के योद्धा मारे जाएंगे।"

English Translation:
The Supreme Lord said: I am mighty Time, the source of destruction that comes forth to annihilate the worlds. Even without your participation, the warriors arrayed in the opposing army shall cease to exist.



Bhagavad Gita Quote on Sattva, Rajas and Tamas

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14, verse 09

और तमोगुण मनुष्य के ज्ञान को ढँक कर प्रमाद में बाँधता है।

English Translation:
O scion of the Bharata dynasty, sattva attaches one to happiness, rajas to action,
while tamas, covering up knowledge, leads to inadvertence also.

  5. You may not use the forum to disclose information that you don’t have the right to disclose, like others’ confidential or personal information.

Enforcement

The company may investigate and prosecute violations of these terms to the fullest legal extent. The company may notify and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in prosecuting violations of the law and these terms.

The company reserves the right to change, redact, and delete content on the forum for any reason. If you believe someone has submitted content to the forum in violation of these terms, contact us immediately.

Your Account

You must create and log into an account to use some features of the forum.

To create an account, you must provide some information about yourself. If you create an account, you agree to provide, at a minimum, a valid e-mail address, and to keep that address up-to-date. You may close your account at any time by e-mailing namskar@resanskrit.com.

You agree to be responsible for all action taken using your account, whether authorised by you or not, until you either close your account or notify the company that your account has been compromised. You agree to notify the company immediately if you suspect your account has been compromised. You agree to select a secure password for your account, and keep it secret.

The company may restrict, suspend, or close your account on the forum according to its policy for handling copyright-related takedown requests, or if the company reasonably believes that you’ve broken any rule in these terms.

Your Content

Nothing in these terms gives the company any ownership rights in intellectual property that you share with the forum, such as your account information, posts, or other content you submit to the forum. Nothing in these terms gives you any ownership rights in the company’s intellectual property, either.

Between you and the company, you remain solely responsible for content you submit to the forum. You agree not to wrongly imply that content you submit to the forum is sponsored or approved by the company. These terms do not obligate the company to store, maintain, or provide copies of content you submit, and to change it, according to these terms.

Content you submit to the forum belongs to you, and you decide what permission to give others for it. But at a minimum, you license the company to provide content that you submit to the forum to other users of the forum. That special license allows the company to copy, publish, and analyze content you submit to the forum.

When content you submit is removed from the forum, whether by you or by the company, the company’s special license ends when the last copy disappears from the company’s backups, caches, and other systems. Other licenses you apply to content you submit, such as Creative Commons licenses, may continue after your content is removed. Those licenses may give others, or the company itself, the right to share your content through the forum again.

Others who receive content you submit to the forum may violate the terms on which you license your content. You agree that the company will not be liable to you for those violations or their consequences.

Your Responsibility

You agree to indemnify the company from legal claims by others related to your breach of these terms, or breach of these terms by others using your account on the forum. Both you and the company agree to notify the other side of any legal claims for which you might have to indemnify the company as soon as possible. If the company fails to notify you of a legal claim promptly, you won’t have to indemnify the company for damages that you could have defended against or mitigated with prompt notice. You agree to allow the company to control investigation, defense, and settlement of legal claims for which you would have to indemnify the company, and to cooperate with those efforts. The company agrees not to agree to any settlement that admits fault for you or imposes obligations on you without your prior agreement.

Disclaimers

You accept all risk of using the forum and content on the forum. As far as the law allows, the company and its suppliers provide the forum as is, without any warranty whatsoever.

The forum may hyperlink to and integrate forums and services run by others. The company does not make any warranty about services run by others, or content they may provide. Use of services run by others may be governed by other terms between you and the one running service.

Limits on Liability

Neither the company nor its suppliers will be liable to you for breach-of-contract damages their personnel could not have reasonably foreseen when you agreed to these terms.

As far as the law allows, the total liability to you for claims of any kind that are related to the forum or content on the forum will be limited to $50.

Feedback

The company welcomes your feedback and suggestions for the forum. See the Contact section below for ways to get in touch with us.

You agree that the company will be free to act on feedback and suggestions you provide, and that the company won’t have to notify you that your feedback was used, get your permission to use it, or pay you. You agree not to submit feedback or suggestions that you believe might be confidential or proprietary, to you or others.

Termination

Either you or the company may end the agreement written out in these terms at any time. When our agreement ends, your permission to use the forum also ends.

Disputes

governing_law will govern any dispute related to these terms or your use of the forum.

You and the company agree to seek injunctions related to these terms only in state or federal court in city_for_disputes. Neither you nor the company will object to jurisdiction, forum, or venue in those courts.

Other than to seek an injunction or for claims under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, you and the company will resolve any Dispute by binding American Arbitration Association arbitration. Arbitration will follow the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. Arbitration will happen in San Francisco, California. You will settle any dispute as an individual, and not as part of a class action or other representative proceeding, whether as the plaintiff or a class member. No arbitrator will consolidate any dispute with any other arbitration without the company’s permission.

Any arbitration award will include costs of the arbitration, reasonable attorneys fees, and reasonable costs for witnesses. You and the company may enter arbitration awards in any court with jurisdiction.

General Terms

If a provision of these terms is unenforceable as written, but could be changed to make it enforceable, that provision should be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. Otherwise, that provision should be removed.

You may not assign your agreement with the company. The company may assign your agreement to any affiliate of the company, any other company that obtains control of the company, or any other company that buys assets of the company related to the forum. Any attempted assignment against these terms has no legal effect.

Neither the exercise of any right under this Agreement, nor waiver of any breach of this Agreement, waives any other breach of this Agreement.

These terms embody all the terms of agreement between you and the company about use of the forum. These terms entirely replace any other agreements about your use of the forum, written or not.

Contact

You may notify the company under these terms, and send questions to the company, at namaskar@resanskrit.com.

The company may notify you under these terms using the e-mail address you provide for your account on the forum, or by posting a message to the homepage of the forum or your account page.

The company last updated these terms on June 17, 2024, and may update these terms again. The company will post all updates to the forum. For updates that contain substantial changes, the company agrees to e-mail you, if you’ve created an account and provided a valid e-mail address. The company may also announce updates with special messages or alerts on the forum.
