One Mantra to Contemplate as an Offering to Krishna
The verse that encapsulates the sentiment of offering all actions to Krishna is found in the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 9, Verse 27:
यत्करोषि यदश्नासि यज्जुहोषि ददासि यत् |
यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम् || 27||Transliteration: yat karoṣhi yad aśhnāsi yaj juhoṣhi dadāsi yat |
yattapasyasi kaunteya tat kuruṣhva mad-arpaṇam
Translation: "Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer as oblation to the sacred fire, whatever you bestow as a gift, and whatever austerities you perform, O son of Kunti, do them as an offering to Me."
This verse emphasizes the idea that all actions, no matter how mundane they may seem, should be performed as offerings to the Divine. Contemplating this mantra can help maintain a focus on dedicating every action to Krishna, fostering a sense of connection with Him in daily life.
