Vasudeva, Vasutam Devam, Kamsachanuram Ardana,

Devaki, Paramanandandam, Krishna, Vande Jagad Guru.

So we are on the 11th chapter of the Bhagavad Gita, which is called Vishwaraupadarshana yoga, the yoga of the vision of the cosmic form of God.

What is that about?

I have the risk of repeating myself, but we have had so many interruptions, it's good to repeat these concepts.

A background to this chapter.

Different stages of understanding of God.

So one is you begin with worship of God in one concept, one form, one name.

So for example, for me, God is Krishna, suppose.

And I also have a particular conception of the form of Krishna, the life of Krishna, and the name Krishna.

This is God for me.

This is God.

If you give me a different concept, I would say, no, that's not correct. This is God for me. This is God. If you give me a different concept, I will say, no, that's not correct.

This is God.

So God, the worship of God in one form, one conception, one name, one mythology.

Then at this point, you will notice that all fanaticism also comes at this point.

Then there is talk of one true God, all false gods, all of this comes because of this.

The next deeper understanding is that all of these forms and conceptions and names in which God is worshipped, with form, without form, various kinds of forms, various names, whether it is Rama or Krishna or Shiva or the divine mother, Devi, Durgaga is going to be worshipped soon in a few days.

And so on, or Ganesha, whatever it is,

or the Christian godfather in heaven or Muslim God, Allah,

whatever it is, all of them are the same reality.

This is the second conception of God.
