Bhagavad-gita Today May 4, 2021


Krishna answers life’s big questions — Who are we? How did we get here? What are we supposed to do? — better than anyone else we’ve ever heard. Don’t just take our word for it, though; read His words yourself:

Bhagavad-gita As It Is, 10.23

Bhagavad-gita As It Is, 10.23

TRANSLATION

Of all the Rudras I am Lord Siva, of the Yakshas and Rakshasas I am the Lord of wealth [Kuvera], of the Vasus I am fire [Agni], and of mountains I am Meru.

PURPORT:

There are eleven Rudras, of whom Sankara, Lord Siva, is predominant. He is the incarnation of the Supreme Lord in charge of the mode of ignorance in the universe. The leader of the Yakshas and Rakshasas is Kuvera, the master treasurer of the demigods, and he is a representation of the Supreme Lord. Meru is a mountain famed for its rich natural resources.
