~35 second read · suited to dharma

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत । अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥ परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् । धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥

yada yada hi dharmasya glanirbhavati bharata . abhyutthanamadharmasya tadatmanam srijamyaham .. paritranaya sadhunam vinashaya cha dushkritam . dharmasamsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge ..

Meaning

Whenever dharma fades and chaos rises, Krishna promises to return. Age after age he takes form to protect the good, end the harm, and set the world right.

Practice it daily

In Niyam, this mantra can stand between you and your most distracting apps — it appears for 15 seconds, in your script with its meaning, each time you open them. Read, breathe, continue. Fourteen days of those pauses become a sadhana.
