Origin & Story

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

In the climactic teaching of Purushottama Yoga, Krishna describes how He pervades and sustains all existence. In this verse He reveals His presence in the heart of every being as the source of memory and knowledge, and proclaims Himself the very subject and goal of all the Vedas and Vedanta.

✦ As told in scripture

Acharyas of the Vedanta lineages cite this verse as the Lord's own confirmation that He dwells within as the Antaryami; saints report that earnest prayer to this inner Lord for knowledge was answered with sudden clarity and remembrance of forgotten truths.

Yes — only the script changes; the words and their meaning are the original. The verse-by-verse meaning, benefits and how-to-chant guidance on this page apply exactly the same.
Krishna declares that He is seated in the hearts of all beings as the inner Self; from Him arise memory, knowledge and forgetfulness. He is the one to be known through all the Vedas, and is Himself the author of Vedanta and the knower of the Vedas. It establishes God as both the indweller of the heart and the goal of all scripture.
Antaryami means "the inner controller" or "indweller" — the Supreme Lord present within the heart of every being as witness and guide. This verse is a primary scriptural basis for the Antaryami concept central to Vedanta.
As the indwelling Lord governing the subtle faculties, He grants remembrance and understanding according to one's karma and receptivity, and likewise allows forgetfulness. Devotees therefore pray to Him for clear memory and right knowledge, recognising Him as their source.
It declares that the entire body of the Vedas ultimately points to Krishna ("by all the Vedas I alone am to be known"). For a seeker, this means the goal of all study is realisation of the Lord seated within the heart, harmonising devotion with knowledge.
