bhuvya bhavat prabho so the first stanza of Krishna’s first renames om vishvam vishnur vasatkaro bhuta bhavya bhavat prabho bhuta bhritbhavo bhutatma bhuta bhavana so bhuta bhuvya bhavat prabho so it’s actually an extraordinary glorification of Krishna as the master of the three phases of time bhuta bhavya bhavat so past, present and future what is time and how time changes things is actually a mystery for even the greatest intellects in the world science considers time to be like one of the other dimensions like we have length, breadth width, like that but we know time is even scientists admit that time is different because whereas in length width we can move backwards we cannot move backwards in time so some aspect of time may be represented by by conceiving it as one of the dimensions but what in essence is time remains elusive if we try to get a full grasp of time so time is actually the manifestation of Krishna which causes change in this world and time changes everything everything material a thing remains same in the world when the twin towers were destroyed it was not just the destruction of a building for Americans and indeed for much of the western world, it was a sign it was shattering of a symbol of the security and success of materialistic society or of the American society in general now same way just as nobody thought that this could be destroyed in just a few hours but although that was caused by some human beings specifically but the point is whether it is through human agents or through natural agents there was a city Pompeii where people were just living comfortably, normally and suddenly a volcano came and they were sitting on their chairs, eating food and that’s how they got burned and charred and their bodies became sort of mummified like that and centuries later millennia later they were discovered as it is so as they have been sort of preserved over there the bodies are preserved the point is that time changes, time destroys and changes everything but we may have control over something and suddenly we may lose control this happens especially in sports a team thinks that we are winning and then suddenly just a few wrong moves or a few brilliant moves from the opponent and then the whole game turns upside down so we don’t have control over things most of the time and whenever we have some control even that control gets lost very quickly therefore what is the solution? rather than trying to gain control we focus on connecting with the one who has control so the devotee’s focus in life is to connect with Krishna and because Krishna is in control of all the phases of time so whatever changes time may bring in our life whatever ups and downs time may bring and whatever things we have set up as a plan for our life no matter what extent they may get disrupted if we stay if we can use whatever little control we have to connect with the one who has supreme control then that will ensure that whatever changes time brings we will not be harmed we will arrange for our protection because our connection with Krishna that will itself be our protection we will stay satisfied, peaceful and safe in the remembrance of Krishna so especially when we are chanting one of the biggest distractions is worries about what will happen here today will I be able to complete this? will I be able to do that well? how will those things go right or not right? like that so that causes a lot of worry but remembering that even if things don’t go wrong it’s not that I can control everything so better than trying in vain to worry about future things going wrong let me focus on doing the one thing that I can do right that is connect with the being who is in control of everything and that is Krishna so he is by remembering how the person who we are invoking by chanting of the holy names is the controller of everything he can is controller of all the phases of time specifically we can break free from the worries about controlling things and focus on connecting with the one who is the controller of everything
