O all-pervading Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, seeing You with Your many radiant colors touching the sky, Your gaping mouths, and Your great glowing eyes, my mind is perturbed by fear. I can no longer maintain my steadiness or equilibrium of mind.\xa0O Lord of lords, O refuge of the worlds, please be gracious to me. I cannot keep my balance seeing thus Your blazing deathlike faces and awful teeth. In all directions I am bewildered.\xa0All the sons of Dh\u1e5btar\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dra, along with their allied kings, and Bh\u012b\u1e63ma, Dro\u1e47a, Kar\u1e47a \u2013 and our chief soldiers also \u2013 are rushing into Your fearful mouths. And some I see trapped with heads smashed between Your teeth.\xa0As the many waves of the rivers flow into the ocean, so do all these great warriors enter blazing into Your mouths.\xa0I see all people rushing full speed into Your mouths, as moths dash to destruction in a blazing fire.\xa0O Vi\u1e63\u1e47u, I see You devouring all people from all sides with Your flaming mouths. Covering all the universe with Your effulgence, You are manifest with terrible, scorching rays. O Lord of lords, so fierce of form, please tell me who You are. I offer my obeisances unto You; please be gracious to me. You are the primal Lord. I want to know about You, for I do not know what Your mission is. The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Time I am, the great destroyer of the worlds, and I have come here to destroy all people. With the exception of you [the P\u0101\u1e47\u1e0davas], all the soldiers here on both sides will be slain. Therefore get up. Prepare to fight and win glory. Conquer your enemies and enjoy a flourishing kingdom. They are already put to death by My arrangement, and you, O Savyas\u0101c\u012b, can be but an instrument in the fight.......\U0001f4da Ask questions via email prasnasd@gmail.com or Facebook & Instagram DMs \U0001f4da find the book links & all episodes at sravanamdiaries.com/bhagavad-gita-as-it-is/ \xa0\U0001f4d6 The Bhagavad-gita is universally renowned as the jewel of India's spiritual wisdom. Spoken by Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead to His intimate disciple Arjuna, the Gita's seven hundred concise verses provide a definitive guide to the science of self realization. No other philosophical or religious work reveals, in such a lucid and profound way, the nature of consciousness, the self, the universe and the Supreme. His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is uniquely qualified to present this English translation and commentary on Bhagavad-gita. He is the world's foremost Vedic scholar and teacher, and he is also the current representative of an unbroken chain of fully self-realized spiritual masters begining with Lord Krishna Himself. Thus, unlike other editions of the Gita, this one is presented as it is--without the slightest taint of adulteration or personal motivation. This edition is certain to stimulate and enlighten with its ancient yet thoroughly timely message | follow us on Facebook, Instagram & YouTube @sravanamdiaries | subscribe to the podcast through these links: podlink.to/sravanam
