Origin & History
Source: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 7, Verse 14
Author: Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva)
In the seventh chapter, Jnana-Vijnana Yoga, Krishna unveils knowledge of his divine nature and energies. Explaining why most do not recognize him, he reveals that his maya, woven of the three modes, deludes the world and is supremely hard to overcome — yet he assures Arjuna that those who surrender to him alone are carried safely across this illusion.
