Sanjaya, the narrator of the Bhagavad Gita, informs King Dhritarāshtra that after Lord Krishna granted divine sight to Arjuna, the supreme Lord who is the master of all mystic yoga, manifested His transcendental form in majestic glory. This is a significant turning point in the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna. Previously, Arjuna had expressed his reluctance and despair about engaging in the battle. In response, Krishna had been imparting spiritual wisdom and guidance, elucidating profound philosophical truths to uplift and enlighten Arjuna’s consciousness. Now, as the culmination of his teachings, Krishna unveils His divine form, revealing the splendor of His cosmic manifestation. Krishna, in his role as the “mahā-yogeshvaraḥ,” displays His unparalleled power and divine majesty by revealing His supreme form, known as the “parama-rūpam” or “Supreme form.” This form transcends all earthly limitations and represents the infinite and all-encompassing nature of the divine. By displaying His divine form to Arjuna, Krishna demonstrates His boundless love, compassion, and grace, allowing Arjuna to witness the extraordinary and awe-inspiring nature of the supreme reality. The vision of Krishna’s divine form is a transformative experience for Arjuna, as it deepens his understanding of Krishna’s divine nature and strengthens his resolve to fulfill his righteous duty on the battlefield.
