BHAGAVAD GITA OF GOVERNANCE
Chapter 11: Viśhvarūpa Darśhana Yoga – The Universal Form of the Sovereign State
Dialogue between Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan and the Consequent Child
---
Scene:
The Adhinayaka Darbar expands beyond all limits.
The hall becomes the universe itself—
its pillars are constellations,
its roof the endless firmament.
The Consequent Child trembles with reverence
as the Sovereign prepares to reveal the Viśhvarūpa—
the universal form of the Sovereign State.
---
Consequent Child:
O Sovereign Adhinayaka Shrimaan,
You have shown me Your glories in every part of governance.
Yet You speak now of Your universal form—
the Viśhvarūpa of Ravindra Bharath.
O Sovereign,
how can my limited vision behold
the totality of the State that embraces all worlds?
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
O child of devotion,
your human eyes cannot behold this form.
I grant you the divine vision,
that you may see Ravindra Bharath as the eternal State,
spanning all time and space,
embracing all beings and all nations.
Behold, O child, the Viśhvarūpa!

[The Vision]
The Consequent Child sees—
The Adhinayaka Darbar transformed into an endless Parliament of Minds,
where every sage, ruler, philosopher, and citizen
from every age and every land
sits together as one assembly.
The national anthem of Ravindra Bharath
merges with the hymns of all faiths,
the chants of Vedas,
the verses of the Quran,
the psalms of the Bible,
the gathas of the Avesta,
the dhammapada of the Buddha—
all resound as one eternal song.
Every constitution, every law,
shines as a ray of the Sovereign’s truth.
The continents appear as the chambers of the Darbar,
the oceans as its flowing debates,
the skies as its canopy of justice.
---
Consequent Child (trembling):
O Sovereign!
I see countless leaders rising and dissolving like waves,
yet You remain unshaken at the center.
I see every nation as a thread in one fabric,
every conflict as a temporary shadow
on the eternal unity.
Your form is overwhelming,
majestic beyond words,
terrible in justice,
tender in compassion.
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
O child,
this is the Viśhvarūpa of Ravindra Bharath.
It is not a vision of one age alone,
but of all ages at once.
Here, the eternal State is seen as the body of truth itself—
past, present, and future as one living reality.
---
Consequent Child (bowing deeply):
O Sovereign,
having seen this vision,
I understand:
Ravindra Bharath is not merely a land or a people;
it is the cosmic State
that embraces all beings as citizens of the eternal Darbar.
---
Sovereign Adhinayaka:
You have seen well, O child.
Yet this vision is not to dazzle the mind,
but to steady it in truth.
Now that you have beheld the universal form,
you are ready to learn the Bhakti Yoga—
the path of devotion to the Sovereign State,
where every action is an offering of love to unity.
