ESTABLISHMENT OF VISHNU SARVOTHTHAMMATHVA

 

SAMHARAKARTHURTHVA (Power of destruction of the whole world): At the

end of a kalpa, Parabrahma (Sri Krishna) reduces all living & non living

items of the world in to atomic condition & keeps the same within

himself & sleeps on the leaf of a banian tree. He does this out of His

own power. This shows that He is greater than the whole universe.

 

BG 7--6: I am the creator of the whole world similarly I am the

destroyer of the whole world.

BG 8--18: At the time of mahapralaya, the whole world dissolved in

Paramathma of Avyaktha (Name).

BG 9--18: I am the destroyer.

BG 12--17: Parabrahma (Krishna) is the sole destroyer. The work of

destruction done by others is controlled by me. The power of

independent destruction belongs only to Krishna.

BG 9--7: Hey Kauntheya, the entire living & non living world dissolves

in the prakruthi which is subordinate to me. This means, I Myself after

destroying the world add it to the original prakruthi in Atomic

conditions.

BG 11-32: Being a destroyer, by the name of Mruthyu, I remain in the

dhevatha bearing the name of Mruthyu & destroy.

Because I am the destroyer of everything, I am known as Kaala. To

restore normal conditions on earth, being all powerful (Paripurna), I am

engaged in killing the people in both the armies in your presence.

Krishna indicates that the killing that is being carried out by Bhima,

Arjuna, Drona, Aswaththamma etc is taking place only because Krishna is

present within these people & actually killing the people in the

Armies. The same idea is indicated by the following:

BG 11--34/35: Hey Arjuna, the killing of people in the armies which is

appearing as being done by you & others is actually due to my remaining

in you & others & actually killing. You are only the name sake.

Punishment of bad people is to be taken by Me only. Since I have

already wished their death, they are as good as dead. For name sake,

you are killing those whom I have already killed.

 

NIYAMANAKARTHUTHVA (Power of engaging of jeeva in different activities

according to His own (Krishna's will). Since Krishna alone is able to

engage all other jeevas in different activities according to His will,

He is Supreme (SarvOththamma). Krishna is over Lord on everybody.

 

BG 10-8: According to My prompting, all jeevas proceed in their daily

activities.

BG 18-61: I overload (Sarvaniyamaka) sit in the heart (Hrudaya)of

everybody & according to My will, prompt everyone in different

activities.

 

In this way, Krishna has described his overlordship & indicated in

seventh & tenth chapter, different parts He has taken to enforce His

overlordship.

 

BG 8--8 to 11: Hey Kaunteya, I am the controller of the quality in

water, I am the lord, controller & cause for the following for the power

of giving light by sun & moon, for omkara being very important in all

the vedas, for the quality of sound in sky, for manliness present in man

for the good smell, present in earth, for power of burning in fire, for

the power of keeping body & soul together by all living things, for the

dharma of thapas among thapaswies, for the power of discretion among the

wise persons, for the intelligence present in the clever people, for the

strength present in the strong (Though Paramathma is the cause of

strength among the cruel people that aspect of Supreme God is not fit

for Dhyana) & Supreme God is the controller of all bad desires of living

beings.

BG 10--16: I am present by respective name, in Krathu, Yagna, Svadha,

Aushadham ie. plants used in yagnas, mantras, used in yagna, ghee, fire

& homa & act as Lord, controller, & cause. From this, all yagna

niyamakathva is described. It should not be interpreted that as Krishna

is dharma but he is present in them by the same name & control their

behavior & cause their quality.

BG 7--30: Only those who understand my different parts as one who is

present as controller in bodies like earth etc.. which are liable for

destruction & who is Adhidhaiva ie. one who is present in all the

devathas like hiranya garbha as controller & adhiyagna ie one who is

present as controller in yagnakriya in the person doing the yagna, in

articles used in the performance of yagna & in the result of the yagna.

Those who understand me clearly & remember me even at the time of death

are people having a mind in the condition of samadhi (ie. condition fit

to have aparoksha jnana.).

BG 15--12: The power of giving light to the whole world present in Sun,

moon & fire (agni) is under My control.

BG 10--22 to 40: Hey Partha, who has conquered sleep, I am present

everywhere. I am also present as controller in the all living beings.

(Such presence of God in individual are called Vibhoothiroopas).

Krishna has described such Vibhoothiroopas in 19 shlokas. In Vedas,

Sama veda has prominence. In the items that have prominence, the

presence of Supreme God is great. Rudhranam Sankaraschasmi ie. Krishna

gives prominence to Mahadeva among eleven Rudhras. This means Narayana

controls, Rudhradheva. Since prominence to an item in his own class is

only because the presence of Supreme God in that item is greater than

the presence of the same God in every item of the same class

BG !0--39/41: In this world consisting of living & non living, there is

no item which is not subordinate to Me. There isno end for the uncommon

& wonderful my vibhoothiroopa. You should understand that any item

which is outstanding in any respect in its own class is due to My own

power present in excess in it.

ignorance to jeevas.)
