Vishwaroopa - revealed

While meditating in Nanganallur Anjaneya Temple, (February last week, 2010), a revelation of why God is represented as huge statues happened.

Be it the Jesus statue in Rio, Murugan in Batu Caves, Mahavir in Shravanabelagula, Shiva in Murdeshwar, Ranganatha of Srirangam - men who created the physical representation of God always created big.

The realization of Self, the realization that Self is a drop in the ocean of Godness, which is present everywhere, all around brings submission and humility - instantly.

The realization blows away the mind, the intellect, all the identity that has been conditioned for years together - like a Tsunami.

I lose myself to become Him. Even this statement is not right. We become One. Ultimate merger. There is no difference, between us. Aham Brahmasmi.

With such Godness, when I look around, I am connected with everything. Everyone. Harmonized.
I see Godness everywhere. The darshan happens within. The realization is within.Full (everything is Me) and empty (I am nothing) at the same time. The Godness qualities of an indescribable depth of love, compassion, gratefulness, devotion, peace and wonder. A serene thoughtless, timeless state of existence.


This is Viswaroopa darshan. Expanding from a limited form, realize and merge into the Unlimited Formless.

Not that there is someone with 4 heads, and ten hands appearing before and asking "I appreciate your bakthi. what do you want?" It happens only in visual SFX. :)


How do the realized ones, convey this to others? To show the path for others, to remind of the greatness of God, who is everywhere - biggest of the big, widest of the width and deepest of the depth.

Create the replica of God - as big as possible. Through worshiping the statue, we are addressing the Indescribable One.

  1. It is only an attempt to convey the real "vishwaroopam" which everybody cannot see. Nowadays, it is all done for either limca or guiness.
