Bhagavad Gita 9.22: Yogakshemam vahamyaham

Chapter 9, verse 22 · Krishna to Arjuna

अनन्याश्चिन्तयन्तो मां ये जनाः पर्युपासते। तेषां नित्याभियुक्तानां योगक्षेमं वहाम्यहम्॥

To those who think of me with undivided devotion, ever united with me, I bring what they lack and preserve what they have.

हिंदी अर्थ: जो लोग अनन्य भाव से मेरा चिंतन करते हुए मेरी उपासना करते हैं, उन नित्य जुड़े हुए भक्तों का योगक्षेम (जो नहीं है उसकी प्राप्ति और जो है उसकी रक्षा) मैं स्वयं वहन करता हूँ।

Context

Krishna promises that for those who think of him with undivided devotion, he carries what they need — bringing what they lack and protecting what they have (yoga-kṣema). The phrase is the motto of the Life Insurance Corporation of India.
