Origin & Story

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 11, Verse 43 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the eleventh chapter, Vishvarupa Darshana Yoga, after beholding the awe-inspiring universal form, Arjuna offers a stream of praise to Krishna. In this verse he glorifies the Lord as the father of all moving and unmoving beings, the most worshipful Guru, and the incomparable supreme Being of the three worlds.

✦ As told in scripture

The devotional traditions cherish this verse as a model of how to approach God — bowing to His supreme greatness while loving Him as one's own father; for the Lord, the Gita teaches, responds to such loving reverence with a father's boundless grace.
