Krishna showed his Vishwaroop

Story

Long ago, on the battlefield of Kurukshetra, two huge armies were getting ready for war. In the middle stood Arjuna, a great warrior and prince. Beside him was Bhagwan Krishna, his charioteer and guide.

Arjuna looked at the people standing in the enemy army—his cousins, teachers, and friends. His heart felt heavy. “Krishna,” he said, “how can I fight my own loved ones? I don’t want to hurt anyone.”

Krishna, with a gentle smile, began to explain. “Arjuna, you are not just this body—you are the Atman. Bodies come and go, but the Atman lives on. Krishna explained to Arjuna about his true self and the truth of life. He cleared all the doubts from Arjuna's mind and encouraged him to follow his duty and stand for the right.

Arjuna listened carefully and said, “O Krishna, I believe what You say. I know you are not an ordinary human. I want to see your true, divine form—the form that holds the entire universe!”

Krishna nodded. “You cannot see it with your normal eyes. I will give you divine vision. Get ready, Arjuna.”

And then—something magical happened.

In front of Arjuna, Krishna revealed his Vishwaroop—His cosmic, universal form.

Arjuna saw hundreds and thousands of faces, eyes, arms, and legs. He saw the sun and the moon as Krishna’s eyes, and fire as his mouth. He saw mountains, rivers, stars, gods, and people—all inside Krishna’s body. It was like looking at the entire universe in one place!

Everywhere he looked, there was light, power, and greatness. It was more dazzling than a thousand suns!

Arjuna stood frozen, his hands joined in respect. “Krishna,” he whispered, “You are the beginning, the middle, and the end. You are the protector of Dharma.”

Krishna said, “Yes, I am here to protect Dharma (goodness) and to destroy Adharma (evil). I will punish those who have followed the wrong path and have done bad to others. But know this—those who are devoted to Me, who are kind, fearless, and full of love, will always reach Me.”

Arjuna bowed deeply. “I understand now. I will follow your path with all my heart.”

From that moment on, Arjuna was no longer afraid. With Krishna by his side, he was ready to fight for the truth.

When we feel lost or afraid, we can turn to God. He will guide us to follow the right path by giving us the right knowledge.
