Tulsi Gabbard: It is written in our religious scriptures that when trouble comes, read Srimad Bhagavad Gita. This shows you the way. Great scholars have adopted this mantra. Now American National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has said the same thing. Talking to a news agency, Tulsi Gabbard said, “Whether it is to serve on the battlefields in different parts of the world or there are challenges coming to us today, there are only teachings given by Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita, which I resort to in my best and bad times.” “Whether it is good or bad, I take refuge in Lord Krishna.”
When Tulsi Gabbard became the first Hindu US Congress member in 2013, she took a hand in the US Representative meeting with a hand on the Bhagavad Gita. Tulsi Gabbard is a devotee of Lord Krishna and has often described the Bhagavad Gita as his spiritual inspiration.
