Gita : Ch-11. Slo-49.

Srimad Bhagavad-Gita :

Chapter-11. ( Visvarupa-darsana-yogam)

Slokam-49.(Your mind has been perturbed upon seeing this horrible feature of Mine. Now let it be finished. My devotee, be free from all disturbance. With a peaceful mind you can now see the form you desire.)


ma  te  vyatha  ma  ca  vimuddha-bhavo

drshtva  rupam  ghoramidmrmamedam,

vyapeta-bhih  prita-manah  punas-tvam

tad-eva  me  rupam-idam  prapasya.


idrk  ghoram  mama  =  this  fearsome,  terrible  Mine;

idam  rupam  drshtva  =  after  seeing  this  Visvarupam;

te  vyatha  ma  =  do  not  afraid;

vimuddha-bhavah  ca  ma  =  and  do  not  get  bewildered;

tvam  vyapeta-bhih  prita-manah  =  you  without  fear,  be  happy;

mama  tat idam  rupam  eva  =  My  old / usual  form  only,  here;

punah  prapasya  =  look  at  ( the form ) again.  


 Lord Krishna continues stating that if Arjuna is disturbed from seeing the terrifying and frightening aspect of the visvarupa or divine universal form then with a peaceful, contented heart and cheerful mind free from fear behold His familiar four armed form again.

Lord Krishna consoles Arjuna telling him that he should let go of any anxiety, fear or trepidation that may have bewildered and perplexed him while witnessing His visvarupa or divine universal form in all its terrifying splendour, for now Lord Krishna will reveal His four-armed four which Arjuna was in the habit of seeing

Now Lord Krishna comforts Arjuna instructing that he should not be bewildered and feel fear and agitation from beholding the terrifying aspect of the visvarupa or divine universal form because now He will reveal His more familiar four armed form which Arjuna had previously requested to see in verse 46 to delight and cheer him up.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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...
