Origin & History
Source: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 9, Verse 30
Author: Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva)
In the ninth chapter, the Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret (Raja-Vidya Raja-Guhya Yoga), Krishna reveals the supreme glory and accessibility of devotion. Having promised that those who worship Him with love are never lost, He declares this great assurance: even the most sinful, by exclusive devotion, become righteous through the right resolve, for divine grace redeems all who sincerely turn to Him.
