Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, Verse 15 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eleventh chapter, Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga, after Krishna grants the divine eye, Arjuna begins to behold and describe the universal form. This verse opens his account, as he sees all the gods, beings, Brahma, Shiva, the sages and divine serpents present within the body of the Lord.

As told in scripture

It is said that within the universal form Arjuna beheld the whole of creation — every world, deity and being — gathered in the single body of the Lord, a vision possible only by divine grace and granting a glimpse of God's truly infinite nature.
