Gita reflection Ch 10 verses 29 & 30

4th August 2024


Lord Vishnu is depicted as one who is always in Yoga Nidra (blissful Self-absorption). He lies on the bed of a thousand-hooded serpent known as Ananta who keeps vigil for Him. This serpent is God's manifestation and is also worshipped as Adi Shesha, who incarnated as Lakshmana to accompany Sri Rama.

The earth floats on the water that supports it. The god of water is Varuna, the manifestation of God. Per Hindu mythology the pure souls who depart pass through the light of the Sun toward the world of Manes. The path is governed by Aryaman, the manifestation of God.

Any law requires a power that makes the law function efficiently. The law of Karma is maintained by God's manifestation known as Yama, which literally means 'control.'  Many devotees dedicated their lives to singing the glory of the Lord. The best among them is Prahlada, who is considered God's manifestation.

Along with creation came the calculation of time. Past, present, and future do not make sense without it. Time is the manifestation of God. The vehicles of Durga and Vishnu are Lion and Garuda respectively. They are manifestations of God.
