Did others apart from Arjuna see Krishna’s universal form?
Question from Vinaya Shukre Prabhu.
Were other people at Kurukshetra able to see Krishna's universal form, or did Arjuna alone see it? Answer, it was Arjuna alone to whom Krishna gave the special eyes by which Arjuna could see that form. This is both, it's indicated both in the narrative of the Bhagavad Gita where Krishna says in 11.8 He says that therefore I will give you special eyes by which you, special eyes does not mean that he transferred some eyes, but special power to the eyes by which Pashyame Yogam Aishwaram Anenai Vasach Akshusha You will not be able to see this with your own eyes, therefore I will give you special eyes by which you will be able to see my Pashyame, this great man, this form, you will be able to see it. So this special vision was not given by Krishna to others.
And Krishna also states this, Adrishtha Purvam several times in the Bhagavad Gita, especially between 11.40 to 11.50 the word is used Adrishtha Purvam Krishna also says that no one has seen this before and Arjuna also says I am grateful to you that you have shown me something which has never been seen before. So yes, on the Kurukshetra war, it was only Arjuna to whom that special vision was given by which he could see the universal form. None of the other warriors were able to see it.
Thank you. And the question is that.
