Vishwaroop: Fourth Dimensional form or beyond

One day, this idea struck my mind while thinking of random things. Many of us know the scene from Mahabharata in which Krishna shows Arjuna his true form. To see that he grants Arjuna divyadrishti or "divine vision".  What Arjuna saw only he knows but in the epic it is described that, in that form Krishna or Vishnu was as big as the universe and had infinite arms and heads.

Now let us come to a scientific theory of 10 dimensions. 1 dimension is a point, 2 dimension is a line joining the points, so it has length and breadth and 3 dimension is something which has length, breadth and depth/height. We are 3rd dimensional people. The 4th dimension is theorised as time or time duration. To get more info on 10 dimensions, watch this video.

Example for 2 dimensional person: a flat drawing of a person or a photograph
Example for 3 dimensional person: a mannequin or we people
Example for 4 dimensional person: a person from his birth to his death or entire life cycle. (time duration)

Now it is theorized that Gods, demons and ghosts live outside the 3rd dimension, so time is relative for them. They can roam around in past, present and future; unlike we mortals who are stuck in only one tense i.e. present. This is the reason ghosts or gods/demigods/angels teleport from one place to another, as they can travel through space and time. But there are more than 4 dimensions... what if 'The God' lives beyond that?

If u want to see a person's time duration, it goes from his birth to his death in a timeline, like a video. If you want to see the whole of the time duration at the same time then it will look something like all the frames of the entire video in front of you on the same screen. Imagine how will it look like?

Painting of the 'Universal form' probably by Raja Ravi Varma


Now let's get back to the scene from the Mahabharata. This universal form of Krishna, called Vishwaroop has infinite number of heads and limbs, it shows creation and destruction of entire universe at the same time. It is infinite and endless. What if that was the 10th dimensional form of the God? It depicts the forms of the god in every tense, from past, present and future. Out of the many heads of the God, some were from his previous incarnations and may be some from the future. Some heads are also of other Hindu gods symbolising that those are different forms of the same God. Same goes with the hand gestures as it depicts infinite limbs. Obviously what we see in pictures, sculptures or TV shows are the imaginations of the artists. Reality might be different from that.


Dear atheists, look at it from scientific and philosophical perspective of ancient Indians. I personally believe the Hindu epics and mythologies are not always literal, they are often symbolic, and most of the times misinterpreted. Thank you for reading my article. Tell me your views on it in the comment section.

  1. Imagine a higher dimensional being traveling through dimensions. We would see it start as a point, then slowly expand to its complete shape (3D) and then slowly shrink back to a point and finally vanish.

    Same as the flatlanders would imagine us as cross sectional beings. We would imagine higher dimensional beings as point-expands-to-shape-then-shrink-back to point beings lol

  2. yeah... so the guy in present tense is a point while his whole life-time is the line.

Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Content Creation & Employment

There are many things Artificial Intelligence can do, but there are some things the AI cannot do, like writing this blog. This year has seen the rise of AI, and since then AI service platforms and content created by these platforms have taken over the internet. Initially, it was believed that like previous industrial revolutions, this new invention will affect the basic entry-level jobs with lower skills, but it directly attacked those jobs that require higher levels of skills. As Artificial Intelligence improves, it will get better and will compete with artists, writers, actors, singers, and musicians, along with other jobs like product delivery, sales and even data collection and data interpretation.   But can there be a human civilisation where everything is automated? If everything right from art to programming is going to be done by AI, what kind of jobs would humans do? How will the economic cycle function? This sudden rise of AI is perceived to be a major threat to human re

Indian Festival(s): Diwali

Diwali also known as Dipavali, which is festival of lights. Although the present scenario in cities of modern India (@least in Mumbai) contradicts the meaning of the festival. The festival of lights is celebrated as festival of noise. Fireworks were used as they gave lights, which were followed by bombs & other crackers which gives 2% light, 48% smoke and 50% noise. It seems like the main intention of celebrating a festival is to trouble people around. Many people have asthma problems; many people mostly due to old age have timid ears and can even get a heart attack after listening the kaboom noise of the crackers. Even during marriages and Ganpati visarjan , traffic jam and making loud noise with weird dances on the streets are common. They don't care if an ambulance have to pass by or if there is hospital in that area.  Indian festivals have now became the best examples of mockery. Festivals are celebrated by troubling other people. Not ju

How Changing Media Shaped History and Societies

We are in the middle of a new AI revolution that is going to change media forever. This could give a push to the saturating and plateaued social media. It could also make it even more difficult to reach a wider audience due to higher competition. To contemplate and guess what may happen, we must understand how changing media changed societies and civilizations. It does three things – unites a type of people, divides or polarizes a group, democratizes a previous media system, and makes content more local, but reduces wider reach. Creation of Insiders, but also Outsiders   Invention of Languages When early humans invented languages, they became more organized and developed tribes and societies. But this also clearly defined the concept of an ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’. When they came in contact with tribes which didn’t speak their languages, the idea of insider and outsider became clearer. This also led to clashes and cultural feuds.   Invention of Writing Systems When language
