Fight For What Is Right

Do not keep quiet.
Do not just sit tight.
Do not take it light.
Do not accept plight.

Rise up to your height.
Support what is right.
Open eyes; don't lose sight!
Face it; don't take flight!

Fight with all your might.
For truth & justice- Fight!
Dharma* Yuddha* is right.
To protect, fight day & night. 

*Dharma- Righteousness

*Yuddha- War

Approved by Shree Krishna. 

“If you don’t fight for what you want. Don’t cry for what you lost.”

            - Inspired by the words shared by Shree Krishna to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita as follows:

Bhagavad Gita - Verse 2.33 -- अथ चैत्त्वमिमं धर्म्यं संग्रामं न करिष्यसि। ततः स्वधर्मं कीर्तिं च हित्वा पापमवाप्स्यसि।

"On the other hand, if you will not fight this righteous battle, then forsaking your own duty and fame, you will incur sin."

  1. These words spoken by Lord Krishna on the battle field are of eternal value. What more one can add to them except reiterate as you have rightly done?

Your words mean a lot to me.
