Arjuna is astounded by this vision that shows Bhagavan’s unlimited form, that has no beginning or end–in other words, indescribable. Arjuna inquires about this form and asks further about his doubts and fear about the impending war. Bhagavan helps Arjuna understand this cosmic form and allays Arjuna’s fears. Bhagavan explains further that only those who have pure devotion (like Arjuna) are capable of witnessing this cosmic form, get to know Bhagavan, and attain union with Him.   Book To purchase a copy of the book, please visit https://www.chinmayapublications.com/geetas-upanishads   (For the Holy Geeta complete with all chapters) https://www.chinmayapublications.com/bhagavad-gita-holy-geeta
