Prominent Splendorous Manifestations
of
Supreme Personality of Godhead, Shri Krishna
(from
Chapter 10 of Bhagavad Gita)
In Chapter
10 of Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna enquired Shri Krishna about His various mystic opulences; His various
manifestations, etc. Arjuna was deeply
immersed in the divinity of Shri Krishna.
He wanted to taste the nectar of Shri
Krishna’s words by hearing more and more about Shri Krishna’s Divine Opulences. Shri Krishna knows that Arjuna is His keen disciple, and His
devoted friend and above all Arjuna
has accepted whole heartedly, Shri
Krishna as the Absolute Truth, the Eternal, the Transcendental, the unborn,
the Summum Bonum ~ The Supreme Personality of Godhead; so Shri Krishna explained a mere of His Limitless Opulences to Arujna.
Arjuna asked in Bhagavad
Gita Chapter 10 Sloka 16:
Please tell me
in details of your divine opulences by which You pervade all these worlds.
Shri Krishna replied in Bhagavad
Gita Chapter 10 Sloka 19
Yes, I will
tell you of My Splendorous Manifestations, but only of those which are
prominent, O Arjuna, for My opulence is Limitless.
In Bhagavad Gita Chapter 10, Shlokas No. 20~38;
