Episode 160--Why the Same God Feels Terrifying… or Loving

Why does the same God feel terrifying to some… and deeply loving to others? In this class from the Gita in Action podcast, we explore one of the most intense sections of the Bhagavad Gita, where Arjuna witnesses Krishna’s universal form—vast, powerful, and even unsettling. On the appearance day of Nṛsiṁhadeva, this question becomes even more real. Because here’s what we see: The same Lord who appears fierce and destructive to one person… appears gentle, protective, and loving to another. So what makes the difference? In this conversation, we dive into: Why Krishna reveals a form that feels overwhelming and even frightening What it means when Krishna says, “Time I am” The difference between a material and spiritual perspective on life and death How the same reality can feel completely different based on our relationship with the divine Why spiritual life isn’t about avoiding death—but transforming how we experience it This section of the Gita isn’t meant to scare us—it’s meant to shift our perspective. Because ultimately, it’s not just about what we see… it’s about how we relate. ✨ We go live every Monday & Thursday at 7:30am ET Email [email protected] if you’d like the link to join live
