need to come to me.

Nithyananda small portrait

श्रीभगवानुवाच ।
सुदुर्दर्शमिदं रूपं दृष्टवानसि यन्मम ।
देवा अप्यस्य रूपस्य नित्यं दर्शनकाङ्क्षिणः
॥ ११-५२ ॥

Krishna illustration

śrībhagavānuvāca sudurdarśamidaṁ
rūpaṁ dṛṣṭavānasi yanmama |
devā apyasya rūpasya nityaṁ
darśanakāṅkṣiṇaḥ

Bhagavān says: The four-armed form
that you have seen is rare to behold.
Even the celestials are forever aspiring
to see this form

POWERFUL COGNITION

Surrender to Me as the supreme with no reservations.

Nithyananda small icon

नाहं वेदैर्न तपसा न दानेन न चेज्यया ।
शक्य एवंविधो द्रष्टुं दृष्टवानसि मां यथा
॥ ११-५३॥

nāhaṁ vedairna tapasā na dānena na
cejyayā | śakya evaṁvidho draṣṭuṁ
dṛṣṭavānasi māṁ yathā

The four armed form which you
have seen with your transcendental
eyes cannot be understood simply by
study of the Vedas, nor by
undergoing penances or charity or
worship; one cannot see Me as I am
by these means

POWERFUL COGNITION

Arjuna salutes Krsna as the source of all beings, the creator of Brahma, who in turn created Prajapati, from whom all beings originated

Nithyananda

भक्त्या त्वनन्यया शक्य अहमेवंविधोऽर्जुन ।
ज्ञातुं द्रष्टुं च तत्त्वेन प्रवेष्टुं च परन्तप
॥ ११=५४॥

bhaktyā tvananyayā śakya aham evaṁ
vidho’rjuna | jñātuṁ draṣṭuṁ ca
tattvena praveṣṭuṁ ca parantapa

My dear Arjuna, only by undivided
devotional service can you
understand Me as I am, standing
before you, be seen directly. Only in
this way can you reach Me, O
Parantapa

POWERFUL COGNITION

Look upon everyone as your own Self, without dislike and hatred.’

Portrait of youthful Krishna/Paramashiva

मत्कर्मकृन्मत्परमो मद्भक्तः सङ्गवर्जितः ।
निर्वैरः सर्वभूतेषु यः स मामेति पाण्डव
॥ ११-५५॥

mat-karma-kṛn mat-paramo mad-
bhaktaḥ saṅgavarjitaḥ nirvairaḥ
sarvabhūteṣu yaḥ sa māmeti pāṇḍava

My dear Arjuna, one who is engaged
entirely in My devotional service,
who surrenders to Me as the
Supreme, free from attachment, full
of love for every entity, surely comes
to Me

POWERFUL COGNITION

Have no attachment to whatever you do, leave the results to Me, surrender the fruits of your action to Me.
