Wisdom and willing action together — that's where good things grow.

Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 18, Verse 78

यत्र योगेश्वरः कृष्णो यत्र पार्थो धनुर्धरः।
तत्र श्रीर्विजयो भूतिर्ध्रुवा नीतिर्मतिर्मम॥

yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo yatra pārtho dhanur-dharaḥ
tatra śrīr vijayo bhūtir dhruvā nītir matir mama

Translation

Wherever there is Krishna, the master of yoga, and wherever there is Arjuna, ready with his bow — there will be fortune, victory, prosperity and sound judgement. This is my conviction.

हिन्दी भावार्थ

जहाँ योगेश्वर श्रीकृष्ण हैं और जहाँ धनुर्धारी अर्जुन हैं, वहीं श्री, विजय, विभूति और अटल नीति है — ऐसा मेरा मत है।
