17Vishwaroop

The “Mahabharata” is known to be the biggest, most precise and elaborate literature ever written on Philosophical Politics and Political Philosophy. It is based on the metaphorical conflict between the kinsmen, the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Lord Krishna appears as the central character who came down on the earth as the incarnation of the almighty Creator God.

The entire content culminates at the battlefield of Kurukshetra where one of the stalwart heroes, the legendary ambidextrous Arjuna appears in his chariot, with Lord Krishna as the charioteer, ready for the battle. Arjuna was drastically shocked to see all his kinsfolk standing as his opponents to be killed by himself. A profound regret and a sense of Sin overcast the sensitive mind heart of the brave Arjuna who immediately renounced his arms and denied to fight the war.

At this point, Lord Krishna, his charioteer starts preaching Arjuna the on the knowledge of the Physical Reality against the Virtual Reality that causes everything happen in the Universe. This preaching of Lord Krishna appear in the book “Shrimat Vagabat Gita”, the monumental scripture explaining the phenomena of Creation, Existence and Destruction. But Arjuna stood obstinate and adamant against the battle. Finally Lord Krishna endowed Arjuna with “Gnyan Chakshu”- the Magical Eyes to empower him viewing the Virtual Reality which is not visible by the normal physical eyes. The whole being of Arjuna shuddered in fear and benediction to encounter that awful extraterrestrial sight of the “Vishwaroop”- the Microcosm, where the Lord Krishna appears as the central figure with his limbs in myriads. And into his cyclopean open mouth hole, he beheld, myriads of Suns, Moons, Galaxies and beings being created and destroyed within moments. He heard an Oracle from the heaven – “Who are you to kill anyone at all? ------------ I am the sovereign Creator and Destructor of everything………………Everything is entirely predetermined an performed solely by me…………….. Your kinsfolk will all be dead even if you don’t kill them……………… It’s all a part of my game, where you and all the others you can see are nothing but my puppets to play their roles as I make them play………………. So, my brave, ambidextrous friend, buck up !!!!!! Play your role, kill the Kauravas and gain fame”……………

Eventually with the help of Lord Krishna, Arjuna exited from the dreamscape of the magical “Vishwaroop” and won the battle of Kurukshetra.
