We have seen how Arjuna had passed through two emotions already. First, when the Lord granted him the Divine Chakshu, Divya Chakshu vision, he saw the very universe which earlier he was perceiving as ordinary people, ordinary objects. Arjuna had started seeing the same universe in a completely divine light. Not only ordinary light, but divine light. What was that seeing that he saw? Previously, I thought God was somewhere. Now, I see God everywhere. The same God that I have been perceiving as an ordinary human being, ordinary living being, ordinary inert thing, a river, a mountain, a table, etc. That very object now has become transformed. That had given him the greatest joy. But immediately he saw the third factor. What is the third factor? Not only the janma, the creation, preservation, sthiti, but destruction. Simultaneously going on throughout the world. Every millisecond, billisecond, I would say. Millions, billions of creatures are dying. Billions of new creatures are coming. But this fact of death, dissolution, which is called pralaya, that was very difficult for Arjuna to swallow. That's what we are seeing now. It created terrible fear. But at the same time, there was also good news. What was the good news? That Sri Krishna assured him. Until now, Arjuna did not know what would be the outcome of the battle. Now he saw, God himself said, do not fear, I have already finished them. They are just dead targets in the course of time, kala. But you just act on my behalf. I will not get the glory even though I am creating, preserving and destroying. But you will get glory. Everybody will say, Arjuna was a great hero. He had conquered the world. So that produced again a bit of good news among that fear. But that fear was really overwhelming. What does it mean? If as sadhakas, we long for the realization of God, for having darshan of the God, God will not appear, only as very pleasant, smiling face. Like as we see every Ishta Devata, specially Rama, specially Krishna, how much lovely they are and how smiling they are all the time. Mandamandasitam, very small type of smiles. But here he sees Kali's, Shiva's rudrakthandavan rithya. It is a terrible thing. But we have to take a composite picture of the whole world, where there is manifestation, there will be non-manifestation also. That idea had to be drilled into our mind again and again and again. So first great joy, wonderment, surprise and then terrific fear and a little bit of good news. Everybody is going to die. And not only a good news, but very bad news also. What is it? Nobody is going to live, not only Bhishma, Drona, Karnad, Duryodhana, Dushasana, all the enemy people, inimical people, but even Pandavanikam, the army on behalf of Pandavas. They are also going to die. Arjuna, do not mistake, they will also going to die. Of course, that is not good news, but no one is responsible. It is only each person is responsible for that. Then he saw that Bhagavan Krishna, whom he had seen before, my friend, he is my intimate companion, he is my bosom friend, to protect me, to give good advice, to cheer me up when I am despondent, all that. But that Krishna has disappeared. That personal aspect of Krishna has become impersonal. First, he has become formless. Second, he has become a Rudramurti. Of course, at the same time, he was also giving birth, sustaining. That is called Saumyamurti, very pleasing form. Saumya, Saumyatarasesha, Saumyabhyathisundari, as Brahma, hence the Divine Mother. She is everything. Daya roopena samsthita. Matru roopena samsthita. But at the same time, Nasha roopena samsthita. Laya roopena samsthita. Not only, Srishti sthithi laya. Srishti sthithi vinasha naam. Shakti bhute sanatani. Srishti sthithi vinasha. They all go together. And there is no being, no exception. It was not that God was only destroying the enemies. He was destroying practically everything, everybody. Then he saw this great originator of this world. This whole world has come from God. He is living in God. He is going back to God. Of course, Arjuna was not equipped with that Sadhaka's mind. He was still ambitious. He was overcome by anger. He was also rearing, longing to destroy the opposite enemy. But this tremendous truth, like Arjuna, through Arjuna, we also have to learn. What is it we have to learn? All of us. No exception is there. Whoever is born, whether our friends, enemies, or father, mother, brother, sisters, children, however close they are, everyone have come together like small sticks in a fast-flowing stream. But at the same time, we also have to separate and go our own way again to rejoin in the next birth. This beautiful fact has not been able to be recognized by each one of us. We see unfortunately only the positive side. So Arjuna had seen and then he could not retain it. But at the same time he saw that God has given. Divya Chakshu means divine knowledge. Chakshu stands for knowledge. What is the knowledge? That there is no I, there is no you, everything is one and that is me. I am the father, I am the mother, I am the grandfather, I am the protector, I am the sustainer, I am the substratum, I am this whole universe. That is a difficult thing to swallow. Same thing happened to Swami Vivekananda. We can say Bhagavan Krishna had given this Amruta Bani through Arjuna. Ramakrishna had given the same immortal message through Swami Vivekananda. But before he became Vivekananda he was called Narendra and he was longing and one day Ramakrishna touched him and immediately the whole world was melting away, dissolving. Individuality was dissolving and he was fully conscious about it. This is the difference. When we have got some chakkar, head is reeling for some reason and we become unconscious but here Narendra was becoming super conscious. What was it? The many is melting into the one and then he could not stand it because he thought I am going to lose my individuality. There is a parallel illustrating this in Swamiji's life. One day Ramakrishna pointedly asked him supposing my child there is a huge vessel of immortality, Amruta, and you are a small fly and how will you drink that nectar? And of course Narendra Nath replied I will sit very cautiously on the edge and then I will stretch my tongue and I will slowly sip, lick the Amruta. So Ramakrishna, he should guess we have to add a little bit. So what happens? If you abandon all caution and merge into it with both hands you go on taking the nectar Oh I will fall then I will drown that means I will be subject to death. Immediately the correction came. Ramakrishna said my child this is not ordinary liquid this is Amruta Dhara. Whoever falls into it they will become Amruta. Of course Swami Vivekananda could have accepted it but only later on he confirmed it through his own experience. Oh this is what Sri Ramakrishna had meant. The lesson we have to learn is accepting through experience is impossible to understand these greatest truths and that was the experience. Fortunately Sri Krishna had bestowed upon Arjuna Arjuna you experience my real form my real Swaroopa not this world my real Swaroopa and this Swaroopa came in the form of the whole world has come from God is sustained by God and ultimately merges in God. That merging part created so much of fear in Arjuna just as we are all frightened of death we think death means complete annihilation becoming what we call non-existence but that is not the case at the same time Sri Krishna also had given him that beautiful knowledge I am the father I am the mother I am everything there is nothing besides me and again that highest vision just as by Kuntanath Sanyal it is not possible to hold that highest vision because the mind has to be equipped with the necessary fitness the vision had come like Arjuna only by the grace of Sri Ramakrishna here by the grace of Krishna Arjuna had that vision but he had that beautiful knowledge what knowledge? everything is God God is everything therefore he cannot but go on saluting him salutations to the before salutations to the behind salutations to the on every side above, below, front, back, left, right Arjuna recognized there is no other reality besides you not Krishna now he is Brahman so there is nobody there is no I, you or anything living, non-living everything is that one manifesting through names and forms and through these divisions body, mind, with consciousness without consciousness etc. therefore wherever he is seeing he was seeing only that divinity pervading everywhere we also remember recollect the parallel when first vision of mother Kali was had by Sri Ramakrishna he was graphically describing I longed for the vision of the mother but it was not coming so one day I decided to put an end to my life I ran like one mad towards the sword which was in the hand of mother Kali and then the divine mother opened that vision a flood gates of consciousness started like a broken dam from which side? from all sides Chaturthi Disha above, below and these waves and waves of consciousness have started pouring upon me and I was struggling not to lose my consciousness but at last I was overpowered I became unconscious look at the paradox of the language pure consciousness made Sri Ramakrishna unconscious what does that mean? is it like a fit? is it possible? no pure consciousness made him lose all sense of duality there is no world there is no God because both relate to each other if there is a world there is a cause of the world and that cause and the effect of which is the world both disappear or both stay when everything is forgotten even to say I is completely gone this was the misunderstanding of Maitreyi when Yajnavalkya taught her the same truth and that is the truth that's why we can with great difficulty only we can intellectually gauze what is it so this Arjuna was expressing that wonderment salutations to you from front, from back, from sides Sarvata, from always because how can Arjuna help? he is seeing God turn to the left, there is God turn to the right, there is God turn above, turn below and wherever he sees outside, inside everything is nothing but permeated by God therefore he has started saluting and how long can you salute? now Arjuna's third emotion had taken place what was the first one? vicharya, wonderment what was the second one? bhaya, terrific fright then what is the third one? he got a glimpse of that knowledge but he could not retain it after saluting he realized oh my God, what have I done? whom have I been addressing? oh Krishna, oh friend oh Adava of that such and such lineage he was doing like that then he was regressing oh Lord, in my ignorance I thought you were an ordinary person but now I know what you are kindly pardon me of course I mentioned in my last class how can Sri Krishna not pardon him? of course if Arjuna was calling Krishna my friend, my brother-in-law and my, oh Krishna and you are the slayer of so many enemies you are always wishing my welfare by my side so how can Arjuna help? there is a beautiful song in Bengali oh Lord, if you do not reveal yourself how is it possible for ordinary human beings like us to search Vedas and Vedantas in darkness Vedas, all the Upanishads all the scriptures in this world are searching only in darkness darkness because intellectual knowledge is nothing but pure darkness we have to understand it crystal clearly that is what now Arjuna was telling the supreme being has been living with Arjuna as his friend and companion without being recognized as the Godhead Arjuna has treated him as a man and overlooked his divinity so he now asks his forgiveness as I mentioned, there is no need to forgive because the mother understands the child's mind better than the child himself or herself she knows, this is a small child the child quarrels, sometimes she also blows to the mother with her tiny fists but then the mother only loves the child much more same thing here also Arjuna is feeling guilty but Krishna had forgiven him long back how do we know? because it was Arjuna who was calling him all these names and Krishna always used to smile had he become angry, displeased with Arjuna he would have taken revenge long back so what was Arjuna doing now? let us remember O Lord, I never knew you were the Lord only by your grace I have been able to see you as the Lord only by your grace this word, by your grace comes even at the very end he says what is he telling? O Krishna, O Lord whatever I have rashly said from inadvertence or love addressing thee as O Krishna O Yadava, O friend regarding thee merely as a human being but as a friend aware of your greatness and in whatever other ways I may have shown disrespect to you while playing, while resting while sitting, while eating or doing anything else while alone or when there are other people all the mistakes I have committed I implore thee, O immeasurable to forgive me of course as I said, there is nothing O Krishna, O Yadava, O friend how did I do it? I did not do it considering you as an inferior being friend, you are my greatest friend by mistake because between friends there is nothing called insulting or even praising what did I do? these are only just samples O Krishna, O Yadava O friend O Yadava Yadava means of the lineage of Yadukula I was completely ignorant of this glory of yours so how can I know about anything about you but that you took pity upon me you are gracious to me and it is a sign of your pleasure with me in spite of all this talk like a mother the more the child plays or sometimes gets angry the more mother is pleased with the child sometimes, not always sometimes, by mistake I did it Pramada means by not taking care of Pranayana, beautiful word Pranaya means deep love so everything that I called you is only out of love even if I have slighted you in front of others that is also because of my love for you sometimes, as if I insulted you sometimes, I made fun of you sometimes, I do look down upon you I might have used words not only words even sometimes feelings also there are so many mythological stories Krishna Arjuna Yudha there was a battle between Arjuna and Shri Krishna not once, but a number of times so Vihara when we were going and sightseeing or enjoying ourselves when we are lying on the bed when we are sitting when we are taking food sometimes maybe I have kept in your plate what I have eaten which has been made a little bit polluted because I have already eaten but this is what friends do maybe when we are alone or when we are in the presence of other people but you are Achyuta you never get angry you never become too emotional you do not slip away from your own Swaroopa you knew who you were and you also knew who I am how do we know? because in the fourth chapter when Arjuna expressed his astonishment that you claim to have taught Manu who was thousands of years back and yet you are my colleague you are only born almost at the same time as I was born then categorically Bhagavan Krishna says I have got so many births so also you but I remember everything but you do not remember everything so Krishna knew who Arjuna was not in this birth many many births by Shri Ramakrishna always an incarnation brings some of his intimate companions though all of them may not have exactly the same role as it was in the previous incarnations maybe we can say it is a shift job sometimes you work at night sometimes I work at night sometimes one person is made more important other times another person will be made important for example Shri Ramakrishna used to say about Swami Ramakrishnanandaji and Sharadanandaji they were two of the direct disciples of Jesus Christ probably Peter and somebody else we do not know because Swami Vekananda is considered as the Paul of Shri Ramakrishna anyway in the presence of other people I beg you please pardon me who can know your glory remember Shri Ramakrishna was one day sitting in one of the Shiva temples and then he was praising the glory of Lord Shiva using Shiva Mahamana Stotram and there is one particular shloka verse in that there Shri Ramakrishna has become one with the meaning of that shloka what is it that even Goddess Saraswati the Goddess of Wisdom takes one of the biggest pens and the C itself is the ink and the whole earth is the piece of paper and she goes on writing the glories of Lord Shiva and even if she writes for infinite time eternity she will never come to the end of Shiva's glories so he was singing like that completely absorbed and he forgot the outside circumstances then people thought he will come they all came and some of them wanted to beat him then Madhur Babu fortunately was brought by the Divine Mother and she said if anybody of anyone of you want not to have your head up on your shoulders you can touch Shri Ramakrishna of course everybody was frightened this is what immeasurable who is going to measure you beautiful Bengali song who can know Mother Kali even the six schools of philosophy that means all the scriptures in the world are incapable of not only measuring but even very approach even the personal God cannot be described that is all descriptions belong only to the personal God there is no description as we have seen in the other place in the Prathasmarana Stotram is really speaking with these words and mind is impossible for the mind there everywhere scripture is telling God cannot be measured just as infinity cannot be measured therefore O Lord you are that infinite how did you know because of your grace I have seen you all this Vishwaroopa universal form but I also understand there is no universe excepting you now Arjuna looks back and understood that Krishna is not an ordinary Jeeva but he is God himself God means not only personal God but also impersonal both so who can deserve all salutations we also say in the Khandana Bhava Bandhana very first line O Lord you are the breaker of all bondage the whole world everyday is saluting you every second it is saluting you and I also join my salutations to the salutations of the world how is the world thanking do they say are they people everybody believes in God only there are many people who do not but then somebody is hungry and somehow somebody gives food he says thank you who is giving food a divine Lord in that particular form so this person thanks a poor man is given some money some dress that's why Jesus Christ says whoever has fed me whoever has dressed me whoever has comforted me that person has really served me what does Christ mean me me means there was a story a man was a very good person he died he went to heaven and he met Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ lovingly embraced him come my friend you did so much of good to me and this man said I do not remember I have never met you how do you say that I have done so much good to you and then Jesus smiles and says my friend did you not feed hungry people yes you were feeding me did you not dress give dress to people who do not have dress yes that was me you dressed and did you not comfort people who were suffering yes and that was me whomsoever you served in whatsoever way you are only serving me this great fact is being told here the whole universe is nothing but only God therefore how can I not salute you so oh friend in this manner I have understood you and now I remember what happened in the past sometimes I was not so respectful but all because of my ignorance Mahimanam Ajanatha and then Arjuna says I might have insulted you several times also but that is also you are to blame because had you given this knowledge earlier to me then I would always adored you but you want to derive enjoyment sometimes you want to be praised sometimes you want people to be indifferent sometimes you want to be insulted sometimes you wanted to give to be given the greatest pain in this world if there is an evil person and he is killing torturing people whom is really torturing only the Divine Lord but who is the torturer he is also the Divine Lord how do we know that's why he says if a person thinks I am the killer and if someone else thinks I am going to be killed both of them are ignorant people so that is the fact and part of that knowledge again Arjuna is expressing earlier chapter we have seen both in the 7th chapter 9th chapter and specially 10th chapter the Lord himself categorically declared I am the father I am the mother if from me the whole universe comes I am the sustainer that is the fact now Arjuna realized previously the Lord declared that's why in this chapter he says O Lord I believe whatever you said about you but I would like to experience it this mere intellectual knowledge will not do and the Lord out of his infinite grace bestowed that special insight Divya Chakshu means special spiritual insight and through that what did Arjuna really recognize the Lord the father of the world of all that move and of all that doesn't move the Lord the object of its worship its most venerable teacher there is no one equal to you how then in three worlds could there be another superior to you O thou of incomparable might so you are the father of this entire universe both moving and non moving what does moving means there are living creatures who are moving and also trees plants etc they do not move but other creatures including a mosquito an ant human beings of course animals birds everything move in this world but whoever has got life in them living things moving or unmoving but we also have to understand by unmoving achara it also means not only living creatures but even rivers even mountains and everything earth prithvi remember according to Hinduism Vedanta the whole universe is made up of five elements what are the five elements space air fire water and earth if you ask anybody any scientist are they living or non living of course categorically emphatically they will say they are all non moving that means they do not have life at all but every Hindu he worships akashalinga vayalinga agnilinga jalalinga and of course boolinga in south India there are five temples representative of Shiva in the form of these pancha bhutas five elements of course there is nothing if God is the whole world who is going to make a distinction between the living and non living we also recollect one day Shri Ram Krishna was walking on the banks of the Ganga suddenly he felt someone else is following him so he looked back there was nothing then again he started moving forward suddenly he looked back because that feeling was there somebody was following me and then he saw that a big stone was jumping and following him so Ram Krishna was narrating I rubbed my eyes looked at it and then as I was looking and moving forward it was also started jumping and following me then later on he remarked who can dare to demark what is living and what is non living that's why for every Hindu every mountain is a living Devata, Himalaya Meru Parvata, living Devatas, every plant every animal every living creature somehow by association with different forms of Gods and Goddesses, a lion a tiger including a humble mouse they are all associated because everything has got a special function so he says you are the father, you are the originator of this entire universe from asya pujasya so if you are the originator if you are the mother, father grandmother, grandfather and everything, you are the greatest worship worthy being in this world and if the Lord is everything, every teacher or anybody who teaches any lesson to us, he is our Guru that's why Matru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava, Acharya Devo Bhava, Atithi Devo Bhava, let your mother let your father, let your teacher and let everybody become Bhagawan God Himself, Divine Himself, Guru Gariyan you are the greatest teacher why? who created the Vedas? only Bhagawan, who propagated the Vedas? only Bhagawan how do we know? we will see tomorrow in the Mundaka Upanishad that Brahma Devanam Prathamaha, he was the foremost, that means he was the first, he was the eternally existing and then he created his mental children, spiritual children and he passed through his first son Jesta Putraya Brahma Vidyam Pravacha so through the teacher-disciple tradition, that knowledge propagated by Brahma has been coming so that is why we go on praising Sadashiva Samarambam Shankaracharya Mathiamam Asmat Guru Nam so starting from Narayana then Vedavyasa Shuka Brahma Marshi then Goudapadacharya, Govindacharya Shankaracharya Ramakrishna but the originator is only the Divine Lord, Guru who is the greatest teacher of the world there is no one equal to you because there is no second one to compare to you so if that is the truth where is greater than you can there be any, you are the only one who exists, therefore there is no one superior inferior, student teacher, friend father, mother everything is nothing but you Lokatrayapi in these three words created by you Apratimaprabhava your glory alone remember that Bhagwan Krishna himself declared at the very end of the last chapter Vibhuti Matsatvam Srimadurjitameva Tattadeva Avagachatvam Mamatejo Amshasambhavam wherever you see even a bit of greatness then know for certain it is me peeping out of that person, manifesting through that person so that was the knowledge God has given therefore it is very appropriate and through Arjuna we also have to know Oh Lord, I do not exist no one else exists but only you exist but you are manifesting in the form of this entire universe, there are some good things in me, there are many good things, many more good things in each one of us, so I should never become envious, I should never degrade, I should never harm because if I harm anybody then I am harming you, I hope our devotees will recollect the story of Ganesha one day he scratched a passing cat and then after that it got tired of it and went and found that his mother was bruised and bleeding all over the body and Ganesha loved his mother the greatest in the whole world, more than even he loved his father there is a funny story when his mother wanted to take bath, then Shiva came from somewhere outside, then mother told him not to admit anybody, so he prevented even Shiva himself Shiva got angry and chopped off Ganesha's head, then of course later on he comes to know and then he found out one head of an elephant and then super glued it to this body, anyway what is the point Ganesha was pained and said mother who injured you and then she said why my child, it's you who did it, me mother how could I ever do that don't you know that I love you so much yes my son but you don't know that I am not only in the form of this Parvati, I am every creature especially female creatures Ganesha understood, that's why it is said that he never got married because to be married that means he has to marry his own wife in another form and that's what Sriram Krishna says, look upon every female as your own mother, but it doesn't mean only mother it is the divine lord in the form of Tvamsthri Tvampoman, you are the female, you are the also the male, you are the one who with the help of a small staff is you are taking faltering steps and moving forward, you are the greatest youth who is jumping and running and frisking, everything is a manifestation of yours only, so the Bhagawan appears as this world, at the same time he would not be undergoing any changes the changes that we see are only a play of shadows, light and shadows so same thing Arjuna is repeating, therefore I bow down and prostrate my body before you the adorable lord and seek thy grace, bear with me oh lord, as a father bears with a son, as a friend puts up with a friend, as a lover with his beloved, three beautiful examples truly a father or mother they have nothing else but to put up the ignorant child's pranks whatever a child does is nothing but a prank, even if the child accidentally happens to kill someone because of ignorance only because of that no child will ever kill his own parents out of true reverence and knowledge, it is only accident, that's all so bear with me as a father puts up not only puts up, the more he kicks the mother the more the mother hugs the child and suckling suckles the baby that's what we have this story that Durvasa wanted to test who is the greatest god, he went to Vishnu and Vishnu did not pay any heed, so Durvasa kicks him on his chest and then Lakshmi gets angry and then how could you bear this insult, then the lord explained, are you not the mother of the three worlds and is this Durvasa not your own child, when he was a baby and you are suckling him on your chest how was he rewarding you the more he was getting joy out of you by suckling, the more he was showering you with kicks and with sputum and all those things so how could you ever get angry, how could a parent ever get angry, how could a teacher ever get angry with the student, how could a friend ever get angry, if any friend gets angry and takes offence know for certain that person is not a friend at all no beloved, no lover ever gets angry with the beloved whatever the beloved does, why because in the eyes of the lover, everything that the beloved does is nothing but pure love play so oh lord please forgive me and then you have to put up with me, after all I am an ignorant child, you have to put up with me, wear with me, oh lord, as a father with a son, as a friend with a friend, as a lover with his beloved now we come to this beautiful 45th and 46th shloka what a beautiful description Arjuna was frightened there was some time he enjoyed, then he was overcome with a terrific fear he was terrified, he was quaking now he could not hold on any longer there is a limit I still remember one day Swami Brahmanandaji he went to the Dakshineshwar temple sat, started meditating he did not get any joy so he became restless he got up and he was returning to the room of Sri Ramakrishna Ramakrishna sent him to meditate, he was surprised why did you get up so soon oh mind is very restless by no means it is under control I could not sit at all if he, such a great spiritual dynamo, could not sit for meditation, do not blame let us not blame ourselves but it doesn't mean we justify and go on dancing, it means it is a common factor it is difficult to control the mind we have seen it in the 6th chapter as difficult as catching hold of the blowing wind so also Arjuna's mind could not hold this divine form because it created joy created surprise but at the same time he was going through a very high emotional mode of fear so he says oh lord granted by you, grace bestowed by you upon me, a drishta purvam what I could never behold in all my life past lives, drishta having beheld that divine vision Hrishitus, I was exceedingly happy but at the same time my mind is absolutely terrified oh Arjuna, what are you talking to me, what do you want from me now, he says tadeva me darsheya deva, oh lord tadeva me darsheya tadeva rupam me darsheya, you show me that very form what form is going to describe it, prasidha please be gracious devesha, lord of all the beings, jagannivasa you who are manifesting in the form of this entire universe you are the universe, it came from you and you are sustaining it and you are the one in whom the whole world moves, lives and conducts all its affairs kirtinam, you have got this beautiful diadem gadhinam, you have got this mace chakrahastam, you have this fearful chakra ichchamitvam darshtumaham tathaiva, I want to see you with these four hands, tena eva rupena, tena eva rupena by that very form, what form chaturbhujena like four hands etc sahasrabahu but now you are sahasrabahu, that is billions of hands, billions of legs, billions of bellies billions of faces, billions of mouths, billions of heads, billions of eyes ears, everything, that means every creature is none other than the divine lord, but I am terrified chaturbhujena, oh Vishwamurthy, him whom I have been beholding by your grace as this very universe Vishwamurthy, you in the form of this universe but Baba please withdraw this terrifying form, I want to see you, that beautiful smiling form of Krishna with four hands and all these weapons and then for that very pacifying peace and joy giving form of yours, I want to behold, I rejoice that I have seen what was never seen before, but my mind is also troubled with fear, show me that other form of yours, be gracious oh lord of gods oh abode of the universe I would like to see thee as before not as I am seeing now with thy crown and thy mace and the discus in thy hands assume again thy four armed shape, oh thou of a thousand arms and of endless shapes only one question springs into our mind was Arjuna really seeing Krishna with four arms at that time so many people interpreted misinterpreted wrongly interpreted indifferently interpreted we will discuss about this beautiful subject tomorrow morning Om Vasudevasutam Devam Kamsa Chanura Mardhanam Devaki Paramanandam Krishnam Vande Jagad Gurum May Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother and Swami Vekananda bless us all with bhakti
