श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता
The eternal dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna — timeless wisdom for every seeker.
यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत | अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ||७||
yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata abhyutthānam adharmasya tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham
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.
Interpretation
One of the most famous verses of the Gita. Krishna's promise of divine incarnation: whenever dharma (righteousness, cosmic order) declines and adharma (its opposite) rises, the divine appears in a form suited to the age and need. This is not a one-time event but a recurring cosmic principle. The divine is never absent from history — it responds to the world's moral crises.
