यत्र योगेश्वरः कृष्णो यत्र पार्थो धनुर्धरः ।
तत्र श्रीर्विजयो भूतिर्ध्रुवा नीतिर्मतिर्मम ॥
yatra yogeśvaraḥ kṛṣṇo yatra pārtho dhanurdharaḥ ।
tatra śrīrvijayo bhūtirdhruvā nītirmatirmama ॥
This is the final shloka in the Śrīmadbhagavadgītā, often referred to as 'The Gita". The Gita is the greatest scripture for all mankind, and is a direct dialogue between God and man, who is sincere about getting ahead. Today is the holy day when the Gita was taught by Bhagavān Śrīkṛṣṇa to Arjuna. It is celebrated as Gita Jayanti all over the world.
Here, the narrator, Sanjaya, states:
"Wherever there is the great Master of Yoga, Krishna, and also the famed and righteous archer Arjuna, there will be prosperity, victory, great powers and gifts, as well as enduring righteousness - that is my firm conviction."
This shloka conveys the essence of Sanatan Dharma, that God always works as a collaborator in and through a righteous man for his betterment.
