Origin & History
Source: Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, Verse 33
Author: Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva)
In the eleventh chapter, Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga, having shown that the cosmic form is Time itself devouring all the warriors, Krishna calls Arjuna to arise and fight. He declares that the foes are already slain by the divine will and that Arjuna should be merely its instrument — a teaching at the heart of selfless, surrendered action.
