To all righteous and brave Ukrainian soldiers, I recite this verse from Bhagvat Gita
Verse: paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśhāya cha duṣhkṛitām dharma-sansthāpanārthāya sambhavāmi yuge yuge (audio)
To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium.
Verse: hato vā prāpsyasi swargaṁ jitvā vā bhokṣhyase mahīm tasmād uttiṣhṭha kaunteya yuddhāya kṛita-niśhchayaḥ (audio)
हतो वा प्राप्स्यसि स्वर्गं जित्वा वा भोक्ष्यसे महीम् | तस्मादुत्तिष्ठ कौन्तेय युद्धाय कृतनिश्चय:
If you fight, you will either be slain on the battlefield and go to the celestial abodes, or you will gain victory and enjoy the kingdom on earth. Therefore arise with determination, O son of Kunti, and be prepared to fight.
IndiaToday: “Andre, a #Ukranian soldier, Yogeshwar Shri #Krishna devotee chants 'Hare Krishna' mantra for strength as he prepares to defend #Kyiv.
He has prayer beads and chants mantras as he protects kyiv from an imminent [an evil and demonic] Russian attack.
