A tagore poem to delight you all ......vishwarupa darshanam

[Guest guest]

Thank you JOY-ce!

 

a lot of ingenuity in that presentation.

 

Yes, Krishna's cosmic form is awesome but even more enchanting is

his 'bala-gopala' form.... in the latter form, he evokes

the 'vatsalya bhava' - the Mother in all of us want to reach out to

Him and take care of Him.

 

Well after seeing your pictorial presentation, here is a verse from

Srimad Bhagwat gita -chapter 11 -verse 41

 

Krishna's vishwarupa darshanam - or cosmic form!

I have in the past addressed You as "O Krsna,O Yadava,O my

while relaxing or while lying on the same bed or eating together,

sometimes alone and sometimes in front of many friends. Please excuse

me for all my offenses.
