Srimad Bhagavad-Gita : Chapter-10. ( Vibhuti-yogam ) Slokam-2. { Neither the hosts of demigods nor the great sages know My origin, for, in every respect, I am the source of the demigods and the sages.} na   me   viduh   suraganah  prabhavam   na   maharshayah, ahamadhirhi   devanaṁ   maharṣhinam   ca   sarvasah. me  prabhavam  =  My  origin; suraganah  na  viduh  =  deva gana-s  never  knew; maharshayah  na  =  great maharishi-s  also  never  knew, hi  aham  =  why  because,  I  am; devanam  maharshinam  ca  =  to  devas  and  maharishi-s; sarvasah  adhih  =  for  all  reasons,  cause  for  the  beginning.

Srimad Bhagavad-Gita : Chapter-10. ( Vibhuti-yogam ) Introduction Last part- 4. The Tenth Chapter Begins – The Glories of God.

The Lord says, “I will tell you briefly. The details that you are speaking of are endless, infinite. How will I go on telling you all that is infinite in its nature? But I will give you an outline of where you can locate Me in this world.” Gita : (10.20): Ahamatma   gudakesa    sarvabhutasayasthitah,  .....  “I am the soul of all beings. Wherever you see existence, there you see Me present as the basic fundamental reality of all. The love of life, which can be seen even in the worst of creatures, is actually a distorted love that they are manifesting towards the existence of their own individuality— but actually, that existence is borrowed from My universal

Srimad Bhagavad-Gita : Chapter-10. ( Vibhuti-yogam ) Introduction part- 3. Thus Lord Krishna declared in the seventh and eighth chapters that the Supreme Lord is only accessible by bhakti or loving devotion. Then in the ninth chapter the greatness of this loving devotion to the Supreme Lord was revealed directly by the realisation of consciousness and indirectly by declaring the eternal, spiritual benefits gained for His devotees as opposed to the temporary, material benefits gained by the votaries of the demigods and all other gods. Now in order to induce the realisation of His infinite Supremacy over all to germinate and transform into loving devotion, He speaks this verse for Arjuna's and devotees like him for their highest interests and best welfare. This is because although it was discoursed upon earlier the greatness and majesty of the Supreme Lord is so extraordinary and phenomenal that it is very difficult to be properly understood by most. In the prev

Srimad Bhagavad-Gita : Chapter-10. ( Vibhuti-yogam ) Introduction part-2. The jeeva which is with limits and apurnan ( incomplete ), is the 'Atma' which is functioning with the help of tools mano, bhuddhi ( mind and intelligence ) of the "Vyashti" ( Vyakti or individual ). The same 'Atma' when manifest through the mano, bhuddhi, of "Samashti" ( world or samooham or society ), becomes beyond limits ( limitless ) and Purnam ( Complete ), and this is called "Eswaran" Or "Paramatma". If one grasps these "Vyashti-bhavam"and "Samashti-bhavam "of "Atma" correctly, it is very easy to understand the "Tattvam" ( Essence ) of chapters 10 and 11 of Srimad Bhagavadgeeta. Here is an example to understand "Eswara-Tattvam" in Vedantham :- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If one follow the how the Democracy functions, it is

Srimad Bhagavad-Gita : Chapter-10. ( Vibhuti-yogam ) Introduction :- Part-1. Vibhuti : meaning - Prosperous, Strong, Huge, Whole ( combined all divine ). Though looking on the headings of the chapters, they seemed different, but they are all inter connected in "Tattvam-s". The most important are 6th and 7th slokam-s of chapter-7. After explaining "HIS" two prakruti-s viz.; "PARA & APARA", Lord says :  "I am the cause for the creation of all world-s,  and equally to their layanam too, they are all, just like pearls in a "thread ( in me )". This way 'Omni-potent, Omni-present, "Paramatma" Lord Sri Krishna,  though,  is the source for all names and forms , needs to inform Arjuna : about His place in the Prapancha-Vastu-s. Lord is the essence / tattvam of this diverse prapancham i.e; " Paramatma". Hence, Lord narrates Himself as the main component of all living things, and the Supreme property,
