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, which enables each species exist as what it is.


Arjuna is fully involved in Lord's narration of His Vibuti-s, and Lord too is happy to see Arjuna's curiosity on the subject.


Arjuna's question ( slokam-17. )    :- "Keshu  keshu   ca   bhaveshu   cintiyasi   bhagavanmaya" ( In daily day to day life amidst the life's transactions , how to l know Lord, in which bhavas and how to achieve those bhavas? Otherwise : How should I meditate on You? In what various forms are You to be contemplated, O Blessed Lord?). Lord thereafter, gives answers and they are remaining part of this chapter "Vibhuti-yogam".


This chapter ends in pointing out to Arjuna, that it is very difficult show the "ATMA"  which is different from jaddam, but it is present in all vastu-s and living-things . Lord asks Arjuna " Knowing these diversity, what is the use to you? This whole jagat is one of my part. (An engineer by showing all electric equipment, cannot teach about electricity).

Lord displays in diverse forms.......

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday, March 21, 2021. 07:57. AM. Chapter 8: Creation and Life After Death -1. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Bhagavadgita is a moksha-shastra, a scripture on the science of the liberation of the spirit. Thus it follows the course of the return process along the same lines as the evolutionary process of the descent of the soul from the Supreme Being. The first six chapters may be said to be engaged in an exposition of self-discipline from the individual point of view, the integration of the human personality and the preparation of the whole man for the greater task which is yet to come – namely, the at-one-ment of the individual with the set-up of the universe. Some of the interpreters and commentators on the Bhagavadgita hold that the first six chapters have a relevance to the significance of the term 'twam' in the famous Upanishadic p

================================================================================= Saturday 01, June 2024 06:40. Chapter 7: The Entry of the Absolute into the Relative -3. Post-33. ================================================================================= There are endless connections of this type. The relationship of adhyatma and adhibhuta is involved in an infinite variety of degrees of ascent and descent. This imperative of the presence of a consciousness between adhyatma and adhibhuta in various degrees is the reason why you sometimes feel there are many gods. Sometimes the question arises: Are there many gods, or only one God? There is only one God, the Absolute, but inasmuch as it manifests itself as an interconnecting link between subject and object through millions of degrees of ascent and descent, it looks as there are millions of gods. It is as if there are millions of governments merely because there are millions of officials in a centrality of administration. There is
