Gita reflection Ch 11 verses 40 & 41

31st August 2024


The cosmic form of the Lord was found everywhere and in all directions. Arjuna saluted Him facing up, down, east, west, north, and south. 

Thus, in Hindu tradition, it is customary to circumambulate the Lord's altar in the temple with joined palms, fully recognizing Him to be everywhere.

The Lord possesses unimaginable might, strength, and resources, as He takes care of the needs of every soul in the Universe. 

Arjuna, ashamed of himself for not recognizing his dear friend Krishna as the Lord of the Universe, sought the mercy of the Lord and said apologetically, "Please forgive me for speaking to You inadvertently and calling You 'Yadva', 'Krishna', and so on, out of intimacy, thinking of you just as a friend."
