In this chapter, we explain the meaning of Krishna’s Universal Form. 

Vishawaroopam is the cosmic consciousness and its manifestation as the entire universe. Gita has illustrated a symbolic and personified form of Brahmanda or the Universe. 

Krishna shows Ishvara’s pleasant form. But Arjuna’s amazement turns into fear as he witnesses the transformation of Ishvara’s cosmic form. The “Soumya roopa” or the pleasant form morphed into the “Ugra roopa”, the fear-inducing form.  Learn why Krishna shows both creative and destructive sides of the Universe.
