ChinmayaAmrit Yatra

5 Shlokas. 1 Essence.

Gita Panchamrit is a daily practice built around five carefully chosen verses of the Bhagavad Gita. Pujya Guruji Swami Tejomayananda and Pujya Swami Swaroopananda picked the five from its 700 verses so that anyone can learn and remember them.

The five verses

1. 1 · Gita 6.5

   Take charge of your life and rise up

   उद्धरेदात्मनात्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत् ।आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुः आत्मैव रिपुरात्मनः ॥ ६-५ ॥

   One should lift oneself by oneself; one should not lower oneself. The mind is verily one's friend; the mind is one's own enemy.

2. 2 · Gita 2.47

   How Does One Uplift Oneself?

   कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन ।मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूः मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥ २-४७ ॥

   Thy right is to work only, but never to its fruits; let the fruit of action not be thy motive, nor let thy attachment be to inaction.

3. 3 · Gita 9.27

   Develop an Attitude of Dedication

   यत्करोषि यदश्नासि यज्जुहोषि ददासि यत् ।यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम् ॥ ९-२७ ॥

   Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice, whatever you give in charity, whatever you practice as austerity, O Kaunteya! Do it as an offering to Me.

4. 4 · Gita 9.22

   Shri Krishna's Assurance

   अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते ।तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम् ॥ ९-२२ ॥

   To those who worship Me alone, thinking of no other, to those ever self-controlled, I provide what they need and preserve what they already possess.

5. 5 · Gita 18.66

   Bhagavan Frees Us from All Bondages

   सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज ।अहं त्वा सर्वपापेभ्यः मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥ १८-६६ ॥

   Abandoning all dharmas (of the body, mind and intellect), take refuge in Me alone; I will liberate thee from all sins; grieve not.
