atma 0 Report post Posted January 8, 2002 Today I was in the beach most of the morning just having a very peaceful time and enjoying the beauty of the material creation when came to mind these verses.. Bhagavad Gita 10.24 purodhasam ca mukhyam mam viddhi partha brhaspatim senaninam aham skandah sarasam asmi sagarah Of priests, O Arjuna, know Me to be the chief, Brihaspati. Of generals I am Kartikeya, and of bodies of water I am the ocean. Bhagavad Gita 10.21 adityanam aham visnur jyotisam ravir amsumam maricir marutam asmi naksatranam aham sasi Of the Adityas I am Visnu, of lights I am the radiant sun, of the Maruts I am Marici, and among the stars I am the moon. In the end of the purport of the previous verse Srila Prabhupada explains that these representations of Krsna only give hints of His greatness. Just hints and they are already so beautiful and powerful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
