ESTABLISHMENT OF VISHNU SARVOTHTHAMMATHVA

 

AS SUPREME CONTROLLER: He is present inside & outside of everything

everywhere. The quality of being present everywhere inside & outside

of everything as controller is well known as the quality of

sarvoththamma of Vishnu in Vedhanthasuthras like " SarvOthraprasidhdhO

pradhesath " (B 89). This quality is in Krishna

 

BG 7-19: The great people who believe that Vasudheva is present

everywhere are rare. In this sloka, the wrong meaning Vasudheva is

everything may apparently appear. Arjuna was a wise disciple of Sri

Krishna. He has said that correct opinion of Krishna

" Sarvamsamapneshthathosisarvaha " .

BG 11-40: Since you are present everywhere, you are known as

everything. From this, Arjuna has given the correct interpretation of

Sruti " Sarvamkhilvidham Brahma " .

BG 9-4: The entire world containing living & non living has been

pervaded by you in external minute form which is not visible for

anybody.

BG 10-20: Arjuna, who has conquered sleep as I am pervading the whole

world, I am present in everybody's heart & mind (anthkarana).

BG 10-42: I am pervading the whole world with the minute portion of

Myself.

BG 11-16: Hey Lord, of the world, in whose body the whole world

appears, you are pervading everything, everywhere, I am not able to see

either the beginning or the middle or the end of your pervasion.

BG 11-20: The entire space between the earth & the sky in all

directions has been occupied by you.

BG 11-40: Since you are pervading everything, you are known as Sarva.

BG 12-14: Parabrahma (Supreme Lord) is pervading everything.

BG 13-16: Parabrahma is pervading inside & outside of beings.

BG 13-16: Since Parabrahma (Krishna) is present everywhere, he is both

far away & near.

BG 13-18: Parabrahma's presence is intense in the area of heart of

everyliving being.

BG 11-15: I am present in the heart of everybody.

BG 18-61: Arjuna (Krishna) sits in the heart of everybody (Krishna is

Eswara, the overload of everything) the above described power of being

present everywhere is not found in other dhevathas like Brahma.

BG 11-6/7: Hey Bharatha, you can see in one place in my body of

viswarupa, Adhithyas, Vasus, Rudhras, Aswinidhevathas, Marudhgananas &

many other wonderful things, you have not seen previously & all living &

non living things.

BG 11-13: Arjuna, son of Pandu saw in the body of God of gods

(Krishna), many different worlds remaining in one place like a mesquito

in the vast sky.

BG 11-15: Hey dheva, I am seeing in your body, all dhevathas, group of

creatures, Brahmadheva, Rudhradheva, all Rishies & serpents.

 

From the portion of the shloka " Sarvathragam " ( BG 11-3), it is clear,

Lakshmi is pervading everywhere. But the following qualities which are

present in Her but not possessed by dhevas like Brahm, ie. pervading

everywhere not loosing her body or position (Aksharathva) normally, not

being seen by other (Avyaktha), due to numerous auspicious qualities,

She has. She is beyond the normal thinking power of man (Achinthyathva)

one that cannot be understood completely (Anidhesathva) etc., have been

gifted to Her by Her Husband. Paramathma to prove this, there are many

statements to that effect.

 

BG 14-27: I sustain Lakshmi

BG 9-10: According to My prompting, chitprakruthi (Lakshmi) creates all

the living & non living in the in the world.

BG 10-8: From Me, everything starts.

 

From the above, it is clear that one pervades everywhere independently,

is only Narayana (Krishna), therefore, he is greatest in all respects.

Krishna Himself has said though He is pervading everywhere

(Sarvavyatha), he is not affected or contaminated, by anything in the

world.

 

BG 13-32: Though paramathma (Myself) remains in the body of human

beings, I do not do anything expecting any return & I am not affected by

the actions of the human beings in whose body I reside. The drawbacks

in the human body do not affect Paramathma just as sky is not affected

by the various objects in it. Krishna also is not affected by anything

in spite of His pervading everything, everywhere (He does not get

pleasure or pain from the things in the world).

 

Thedescription given in Purushasuktha is the description of Parabrahma

described by all the Vedas, that quality is seen in Krishna hence it can

be decided that Krishna is the Parabrahma. The visvaroopa shown to

Arjuna by Krishna is the same roopa described in Purushasuktha & all the

vedas.

 

BG 11-5: Arjuna, you can see numerous roopas of mine which are of many

shapes, many colors of uncommon occurance.

BG 11--9 to11: Sri Hari has shown His real, beyond ordinary conception

of man & pertaining to Eswara of His Vishwaroopa has many faces, many

eyes, many wonderful things not known to others regarding place, time &

quality.

BG 11--16 to 24: Arjuna says, Hey Viswaroopa, I am seeing many hands,

abdomen, faces & eyes. I am also seeing your figure, which has occupied

the whole space. I am seeing you everywhere without any beginning or

middle or end. You have unlimited power, sun & moon are in the place of

Your eyes (sun & moon) have emerged from the eyes of God. So, they are

occupying that place. Your face is so bright & hot which gave birth to

fire God. Makes the whole world suffer with discomfort. Hey valient

Lord, the whole world including me is terribly afraid of You, on seeing

Your terrible figure containing numerous faces, many eyes, endless arms

with numerous thighs & feet, long teeth. Parabrahma Krishna in every

roopa He takes He has many feet, many eyes, many heads, many faces, &

many ears.
