Vishwaroopam

Vishwaroopam : 

Krishna provides Arjuna Divine Eyes to see the Vishwaroopam as the physical eye cannot withstand it. What exactly did Arjuna see? The portrayal of that enormous form is impossible. We see the calendar version of Krishna with numerous heads, hands can that be it? Or was it like the imagine map of the world as projected by Google Maps. Arjuna saw the breathtaking Universal Form coupled with its numerous faces with its innumerable eyes and limbs and fearsome jaws, Arjuna himself and entire creation were engulfed and frozen with wonder. He saw Krishna soaring high going beyond the realm of a few thousand galaxies, glowing with colour, with open mouth and wide-open fiery eyes, he was terrified to some extent. Arjuna cries out to the Lord that his courage and peace of mind was failing him at that time viewing that colossal form. Arjuna begged the Lord to be merciful upon him, and to be a bit more considerate as he saw all the sons of Dhritarashtra, Bhishma, Drona, Kripa and Karna were all rushing into the Lord`s mouths, with horrendous tusks, appalling to watch. Some of them were even mangled within the ferocious jaws, with their heads getting crushed. Just as moths fly hastily towards the burning flame only to be reduced to ash, so were those men rushing into His mouths inviting their own destruction. Telling the reality that everything has to merge in Him. Gracefully or forcefully depends on the individual.

Om Namah Shivay.
