Chapter XI - The Yoga of the universal form of our Lord SriKrishna.
Till now we have been hearing about the glories and the inconceivable powers of our Lord SriKrishna from the supreme most personality Lord Sri Govinda himself, in this chapter XI, Arjuna Maharaja sees, experiences , recounts and authenticates all what our Lord has spoken .
Arjuna communicates to our Lord SriKrishna that he wants to see the cosmic self of our Lord whereby a very special eye is vouchsafed to him by our Lord for our ordinary eyes will be totally incapable to view such a celestial sight .
When our Lord SriKrishna assumes the unimaginable gigantic universal cosmic form Arjuna trembles like a tiny leaf with the highest fear , for our Lord SriKrishna in his cosmic form is so frightful to behold , the sight is terrible, so many demi gods entering and exiting our Lord, the evil doers like Duryodhana and others already crushed , stuck in between our lords teeth and totally annihilated, the various other sight like our Lord adorned with sandal paste with scores of astras, shastras etc is a marvellous magical sight that totally throws Arjuna out of gear.
Many saints have conveyed this universal form would not have been revealed by our Lord SriKrishna to Arjuna, but time and again he wanted to know the glories of our Lord , he wanted our Lord to prove that all what he has spoken is all that he really is.. It is well known that those whom we love unconditionally we never want any proof of their greatness but even one bit of doubt is there , then we request further details.
There are fewest devotees who love our Lord Sri Krishna like our Lord Sri Hanuman , topmost devotee who blindly follows our Lord with the highest faith and respect , whereas many of us want to keep on seeking countless clarifications like Arjuna and hence our Lord had to show his supreme universal form as the cosmic head to Arjuna to dispel his countless doubts, this once again is the highest indication of the most humblest quality of our Lord Sri Krishna.
Our Lord is not accountable to any one of us ever but his unconditional truest love for us , despite his sole supremacy , makes him clear all our doubts at all times . Arjuna loses his mental balance and composure for all this while he has connected with our Lord Sri Krishna as a friend and family.
On numerous occasion , he playfully teased our Lord because he never knew that our lord is the sole cosmic head of the entire universe and now witnessing his universal gigantic form which has no beginning, middle or end ( seamless ), Arjuna is filled with utter remorse and repentance about his casual attitude towards our Lord and hence countless times he pleads guilty.
He seeks pardon and falls down at the divine most lotus feet of our Lord SriKrishna with total repentance , confusion and shame. It always happens with each one of us also , when a humble soul close to us is taken too lightly and then when we come to know of the highest stature , our head bows in shame and we are very sorry of our mindless action.
Arjuna understands very clearly that our Lord Sri Krishna is the most ancient creator and hence stands speechless and his whole body is trembling with awe and admiration for our Lord Sri Krishna and he begs our Lord to regain his original most attractive , pleasant and beautiful divya mangala swaroopam ( holiest of holy personal form ) .
Our Lord SriKrishna immediately obliges and shows him the most charming form with four beautiful hands with lotus , mace , conch and holiest discus. This magnificent most pleasing form is very difficult to be blessed with but Arjuna is one of the few fortunate ones to be bestowed of such a priceless gift.
Seeing this beauty par excellence form of our Lord he regains his calm and bows and seeks the Divine most blessings of our Lord SriGovinda with the deepest devotion and our Lord readily and happily blesses Arjuna who is yet to recover from the shock.
We can imagine Arjunas condition too well for the universal form of our Lord SriKrishna is all encompassing and so gigantic that at our mini micro atomic existence it is incomprehensible.
Finally our Lord SriKrishna once again conveys that those pure devotees who depend solely on our Lord for their mere existence, who love our Lord dearly , our Lord will ever embrace them and bind them with him.
Some people always question why does our Lord SriKrishna repeat countless times the same things?
There is nothing wrong at all in this , the most vital points have to be emphasized, re- emphasized countless times for it to permanently sink into our minds.
Why do we stick many positive reaffirmations in our room , for the simple reason , when we keep seeing, noting and imbibing , we certainly will implement them at the very earliest for our well being.
Similarly our Lord SriKrishna , at the highest inconvenience to himself, has to repeat the sovereign truth countless times for us to put it to practice .More than our Lord , we stand to benefit , for getting free from every material contamination and getting our soul redeemed to an eternal abode of happiness, truth and goodness is our best fortune.
