The Virat-Rupa
Krishna's Mercy
- "The
- Virat-Rupa"
- is
- a
- collection
- of
- essays
- describing
- bhakti-yoga,
- the
- science
- of
- self-realization,
- and
- Krishna
- consciousness
- based
- off
- select
- verses
- from
- sacred
- Vedic
- texts
- like
- Bhagavad-gita,
- Ramayana,
- Chaitanya
- Charitamrita,
- and
- others.
- Estimated
- length
- of
- 194
- pages."This
- virat-rupa
- of
- the
- Lord
- was
- especially
- manifested,
- not
- for
- the
- benefit
- of
- Arjuna,
- but
- for
- that
- unintelligent
- class
- of
- men
- who
- accept
- anyone
- and
- everyone
- as
- an
- incarnation
- of
- the
- Lord
- and
- so
- mislead
- the
- general
- mass
- of
- people.
- For
- them,
- the
- indication
- is
- that
- one
- should
- ask
- the
- cheap
- incarnation
- to
- exhibit
- his
- virat-rupa
- and
- thus
- be
- established
- as
- an
- incarnation."
- (Shrila
- Prabhupada,
- Shrimad
- Bhagavatam,
- 2.1.24 Purport)
