Chapter 11 verse 17
“I see your form, adorned with a crown, and armed with the club and disc, shining everywhere as the abode of splendor. It is hard to look upon you in the blazing fire of your effulgence, which is radiating like the sun in all directions.”
Arjuna is seeing the divine cosmic form of Bhagwan Krishna-avatara of Mahavishnu. With granted divine vision, Arjuna is able to see the extremely bright form of Bhagwan. He describes the form as one glowing like infinite suns with crown in the head, 4 arms with club, disc (sudharshana chakra), conch and lotus. This form has personal significance and attachment for me- being the temple deity of my beloved Guruji’s ashram-Om Swamiji’s Bhadrika ashram in himachal Pradesh- Sri Hari modeled on the Sri varadaraja perumal in kanchipuram. As well, this is the same form in the Hindu temple of northwest Arkansas, where I reside called the “chaturbhuja Krishna or gita acharya” presiding over the world’s first gita stoopa preaching the timeless wisdom of sanatana dharma and bhagavat gita. There are no coincidences in life when one starts observing the patterns and messaging nature and cosmos is trying to teach us. If we listen, we will definitely benefit. Let’s listen to our pure consciousness and center ourselves in the service of Supreme Bhagwan.
