Origin & Story
Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10, Verse 25 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)
In the tenth chapter, the Yoga of Divine Glories (Vibhuti Yoga), Krishna reveals the foremost of his manifestations throughout creation. Here he turns to the realm of sound, sacrifice and steadfastness — exalting Om, the sacrifice of japa, and the Himalayas — so that Arjuna and all seekers may know that the loving repetition of the Name is the very highest form of worship.
✦ As told in scripture
Saints of the chanting traditions have long pointed to this verse as proof that the simple, constant repetition of God's Name surpasses every grand ritual; many testify that taking refuge in japa, with this assurance from Krishna's own lips, carried them across difficulties that elaborate ceremonies could not.
