 Here are 3 of the most powerful and timeless shlokas from the Bhagavad Gita , along with their meanings and practical interpretations : **1. कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन । मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि ॥** — Bhagavad Gita 2.47 Transliteration: “Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana, Ma karmaphalahetur bhurmatey sangostva akarmani.” Meaning: You have the right to perform your duties, but not to the fruits of your actions.

  The Death of Marriage: Why the Bhagavad Gita Predicted Divorce 5,000 Years Ago Marriage has always been described as sacred. The Vedas called it a samskara, a sacrament meant to align two souls with dharma. Yet, if we look around today, marriage is not dying because of modernity alone. It is dying because human expectations have changed. And strangely, the Bhagavad Gita described this human struggle thousands of years ago.
