Universal Form

On the Battlefield of Kurukshetra, Arjuna asks Shri Krishna to give him the ability to perceive beyond the material realm. Thus, Lord Krishna reveals His mystic opulence – the unlimited, all-pervading, all-encompassing Universal Form. Overwhelmed at the blazing majesty of this wondrous and terrible sight, Arjuna prays to once again see Shri Krishna in the beautiful form of his friend.
