Universal Form of Shri Krishna

Hare Krishna

Lord Krishna has various forms. He has impersonal and personal forms. The Universal Form is one of the various forms of Krishna. When Arjuna saw this Universal Form of Krishna, he went through many emotions that frightened even the greatest warrior that Arjuna was. Only after Lord Krishna showed him His four-handed and two-handed form, Arjuna regained his calm.

Chapter-11 of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita is about this Universal Form of Lord Krishna.

'Bhagavad Gita as it is' by Srila Prabhupada gives this brief description of Chapter-11 - "Lord Krishna grants Arjuna divine vision and reveals His spectacular unlimited form as the cosmic universe. Thus he conclusively establishes His divinity. Krishna explains that His own all-beautiful form is the original form of Godhead. One can perceive this form only by pure devotional service."

I am going to post this Chapter-11 verse by verse with translation in Hindi and Sanskrit. Bhagavad Gita is as ancient as Sun, thus it belongs to everyone. However, the translation and commentary are written by various saints, scholars and authors. Due credit should be given to them.

I am taking the translation from this website - https://www.holy-bhagavad-gita.org/chapter/11
This Bhagavad Gita is titled Bhagavad Gita: The song of God by Swami Mukundananda.

Whether you read this chapter-11 here or buy Bhagavad Gita yourself or read it at home, may the reading of this Chapter destroy all the adharmik and demonic things in your life just like Lord Krishna destroys the army of both sides of Mahabharata.
