Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12, Verse 20 (12.20) reads:
“Those who follow this immortal dharma (teaching) as described above, endowed with faith and regarding Me as supreme, are exceedingly dear to Me.”
A common Sanskrit transliteration is:
ye tu dharmāmṛtam idaṁ yathoktaṁ paryupāsate
śraddadhānā mat-paramā bhaktās te ’tīva me priyāḥ
Context:
Chapter 12 of the Gita is about Bhakti Yoga (the path of devotion). In the verses just before 12.20, the text describes qualities of an ideal devotee—equanimity, compassion, freedom from ego, steadiness, and non-hatred. Verse 12.20 concludes that those who sincerely live by these teachings with faith and devotion are “especially dear” to Krishna.
Would you like a word-by-word meaning, a commentary (e.g., Shankara, Ramanuja, or modern interpretation), or the full context of verses 12.13–20?
