Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, Verse 36 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eleventh chapter, Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga, after beholding the overwhelming universal form, Arjuna composes himself and offers a series of prayers. This verse opens that hymn of praise, affirming that the world rightly rejoices in Krishna's glory while the demonic flee and the perfected sages bow before Him.

✦ As told in scripture

The tradition holds that the very glorification of the Lord, as Arjuna voices here, brings delight to the heart and protection from all that is fearful — for wherever the Lord's name and praise resound, joy increases and the forces of darkness lose their power.
