Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, Verse 40 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eleventh chapter, Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga, as Arjuna beholds the boundless universal form, he is moved to offer salutations from every direction. In this verse he bows to the Lord front, back and on all sides, glorifying His infinite power and recognising that He pervades and is all that exists.

✦ As told in scripture

The tradition holds that to salute the Lord from every direction, knowing Him to be all-pervading, fills the devotee with the awareness of God's constant presence — so that no fear of separation or distance from the Divine can remain.
