“Here I reveal Myself to you, My beloved friend Arjuna,” says Krishna as he turned the limelight on Himself. “I am the source of even Gods and seers but My origin, no one knows! Only those free of illusions and evil know me as the Supreme Universal Lord, unborn and beginning-less. All unique human attributes like the mind, intellect, truthfulness, contentment, courage, birth-death, joy-sorrow etc., arise in me. And from My mind were born sages, saints, and Manus, from whom all others evolved. Through Bhakti Yoga, the wise surrender and unite with Me, the origin of all creation, with loving devotion and faith. And I dwell in their hearts, destroy ignorance, and bestow the divine knowledge to attain me.” Understanding Krishna as the Supreme Divine Personality, Arjuna acknowledged the Lord’s all-pervasive greatness and requested Him to tell him about his glories and manifestations. And Krishna continued. “I remain the beginning-middle-end of all beings, in whose hearts I reside, and in every category of beings and things, I reign as the greatest and the best! Among Aditi’s sons, I am Vishnu; among the luminous, the Sun; among stars, the Moon; among Vedas, the Samaveda; and among lives, the consciousness.” Proceeding further, Krishna narrated what pride of place he occupied among – the Rudras, demons, mountains, rivers, priests, warriors, archers, water bodies, sages, seers, chants, science, immovable things, trees, celestials, humans, animals, birds, elephants, horses, cows, serpents, weapons, ancestors, law-dispensers and the like. “Also, I am Brahma among creators, endless time among controls, Margsheersh among months, Gayatri among poetic meters, spring among seasons, virtue in the virtuous, wisdom in the wise, silence among secrets, all-encompassing death, origin of things yet-to-be, and all noble qualities. And among the Vrishnis, I am Krishna, and Oh Arjuna, among the Pandavas, I remain Arjun! I am the seed that sprouts as living beings, and nothing, moving or otherwise, exists without Me. And infinite is My manifestations. Therefore, o vanquisher of enemies, anything wonderful, powerful, and glorious, be sure that it springs only from a spark of My unfathomable magnificence! And I pervade and sustain the whole of creation just by a fraction of My infinite being!” If you would like to find out more about your chart or have a question about astrology you would love the answer to, please do connect with us at www.astroved.com Follow AstroVed on IG, Twitter, and FB @AstroVed
