"What for I create my ray here in this world?" ~Krishna

abhinavagupta’s bhagavad gita bhagavad gita dharma lord krishna Oct 20, 2025

Swami Lakshmanjoo sheds light on Abhinavagupta’s commentary on the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 4, verses 4–9. Here, Krishna (Lord Shiva) reveals why He manifests His divine presence in the world:

"To protect those who are saints here, and to destroy those who are sinners; for that [reason], I appear from one yuga (age) to another yuga, from that yuga to another yuga, I appear again and again. To see that dharma, the ancient duty, is established properly in this world."
