Your question on the Divya Dhrishti of Sanjaya

[Guest guest]

Dear SrI Ramachandran :

 

Thank you for asking about the power behind

Sanjaya's divine vision to see and narrate

the great War between PaaNDavAs and KouravAs

and especailly GeethOpadEsam of the Lord .

It is not Lord KrishNa , who blessed Sanjaya

with the divine vision.

..

Sanjaya got his divine vision ( dhivya Chakshus/

Jn~Ana KaNN ) through the grace of VyAsa

(VyAsa PrasAdhAth) to see , hear the happenings at

the battle field of KuruskshEhtra and described them

to the blind King , DhrutharAshtra . The reference is in

GeethA slOkam 18.75 :

 

vyAsa-prasAdhAth sruthavAn yEthadh guhyamaham param

yOgam yOgEswarAth KrishNAth sAkshAth kaTayatha: Svayam

 

Sanjaya says:

 

By the grace of Sage VyAsa ( the composer of MahA BhAratham) ,

I have heard this supreme secrets of YogA revealed by Lord KrishNA ,

the Lord of yOgA , in person to His disciple ArjunA .

 

Best wishes ,

V.Sadagopan
