Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 9, Verse 13 · Bhagavan Sri Krishna (as recorded by Maharishi Veda Vyasa) · Ancient (part of the Mahabharata, c. 5th–2nd century BCE in present form)

The ninth chapter, called the most confidential knowledge (Raja Vidya), unfolds Krishna's supreme nature and the glory of devotion to Him. Having described how the foolish deride the Lord in human form, Krishna turns with affection to the mahatmas who recognise His true greatness and worship Him with undivided hearts. This verse stands as one of the Gita's defining portraits of the great devotee.

✦ As told in scripture

Devotional tradition holds that the great souls praised in this verse, by their undivided love, come fully under the Lord's protection; their example has inspired countless saints to fix the mind on the imperishable Divine alone.

Yes — only the script changes; the words and their meaning are the original. The verse-by-verse meaning, benefits and how-to-chant guidance on this page apply exactly the same.
A mahatma (great soul) is one who, sheltering in the divine nature, worships Krishna with an undistracted mind, knowing Him to be the imperishable source of all beings. Great-souledness is defined here by knowledge-filled, exclusive devotion.
Ananya bhakti is 'non-other' devotion — worship with the mind fixed exclusively on the Divine, not divided among many objects of desire. This verse holds it up as the hallmark of the mahatma.
The mahatmas worship 'knowing Me as the imperishable origin' (jnatva bhutadim avyayam). True devotion here is illumined by knowledge of God's supreme, eternal nature — bhakti and jnana united.
Just before, in verse 9.11, Krishna laments that the foolish deride Him when He appears in human form, not knowing His supreme nature. Verse 9.13 then contrasts them with the great souls who do recognise and lovingly worship Him.
