Bhagavadgita Parayana - Chapter 10 - Grantha

The Bhagavad Gita unfolds on the battlefield of 𑌕𑍁𑌰𑍁𑌕𑍍𑌷𑍇𑌤𑍍𑌰, in the heart of the epic 𑌮𑌹𑌾𑌭𑌾𑌰𑌤. Here, two mighty armies-the 𑌪𑌾𑌂𑌡𑌵𑌾𑌃 and the 𑌕𑍌𑌰𑌵𑌾𑌃-stand poised for war. In this charged moment, 𑌶𑍍𑌰𑍀𑌕𑍃𑌷𑍍𑌣, the charioteer and guide, speaks to the troubled warrior 𑌅𑌰𑍍𑌜𑍁𑌨. Their dialogue is not just about war, but about the deepest questions of life, duty, and the nature of the self.

Chapter 10, called 𑌵𑌿𑌭𑍂𑌤𑍀𑌯𑍋𑌗𑌃 or "Vibhuti 𑌯𑍋𑌗," is a turning point. The word "vibhuti" means divine manifestations or glories. In this chapter, 𑌶𑍍𑌰𑍀𑌕𑍃𑌷𑍍𑌣 reveals how his presence shines through the wonders of the world-through the brightest stars, the noblest leaders, the most powerful forces in nature, and the deepest qualities in people.

Looking ahead, the next chapter-𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌰𑍂𑌪-𑌦𑌰𑍍𑌶𑌨-𑌯𑍋𑌗𑌃-will take this vision even further. 𑌶𑍍𑌰𑍀𑌕𑍃𑌷𑍍𑌣 will grant 𑌅𑌰𑍍𑌜𑍁𑌨 a direct vision of his cosmic form, revealing the unity and majesty behind all these manifestations. But before that awe-inspiring moment, 𑌵𑌿𑌭𑍂𑌤𑍀𑌯𑍋𑌗𑌃 helps us tune our awareness to the divine that is already all around us, waiting to be seen.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Whatever being you encounter that is marked by special greatness, prosperity, or extraordinary strength, recognize that as arising from a portion of My own divine energy.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Or, what is the point of knowing all these details, Arjuna? I support and sustain this entire universe with just a small part of Myself.

Translation (𑌭𑌾𑌵𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌥):
Thus ends the tenth chapter, called the Yoga of Divine Glories, in the Upanishads of the Bhagavad Gita, which teaches the knowledge of Brahman and the science of yoga, in the dialogue between Sri Krishna and Arjuna.
