Meditation on the Lord and His Cosmic Form

Meditation on the Lord and His Cosmic Form
From Canto 2: Cosmic Manifestation — A Gentle Bedtime Story for Young Vaishnavs

Once Upon a Time…

Long ago, after hearing the wonders of the Universal Form of the Lord, King Parikshit wanted to learn how anyone—even someone living a simple life—could remember and meditate on God. The wise sage Suka sat by the river Ganga and smiled kindly, ready to share another beautiful teaching.

“O King,” Suka said, “the Supreme Lord is so loving that He can be found everywhere—inside our hearts and in all of creation. Anyone, young or old, can meditate on the Lord by thinking of His divine form and remembering His presence in the world around us.”

How to Meditate on the Lord

Suka explained, “To meditate on the Lord, you don’t need to go far away or do something difficult. Sit in a quiet place, close your eyes, and take a deep breath. Imagine the Lord’s beautiful form in your heart—full of kindness, peace, and light. You can picture Him as Lord Krishna, with a peacock feather, playing His flute, or as Vishnu resting on the cosmic ocean.”

“If you wish, you can also meditate on the Lord’s Cosmic Form—the Virat Purusha. Imagine that the whole universe is His body: the mountains are His bones, the trees are the hairs on His body, the sun and moon are His eyes, and the rivers flow like the veins in His form. All living beings, big and small, are parts of this great, loving Lord.”

“By thinking of God in this way, we remember that everything is connected and that we are never alone. Every part of creation, from the tiniest ant to the biggest star, is held in the Lord’s loving care.”

The Practice of Devotion

Suka also said, “While meditating, you can softly chant the Lord’s holy names or sing bhajans (devotional songs). You can offer flowers or a simple prayer with a pure heart. What matters most is your love and attention, not grand rituals. Even a small child can do this!”

Parikshit listened closely and closed his eyes. He pictured Lord Krishna, shining like the morning sun, playing His flute on the banks of the Yamuna. He felt peace and warmth fill his heart. Then, he imagined the Lord’s cosmic form—so vast and full of light, with every living being embraced in that divine presence.

The Power of Loving Meditation

As King Parikshit meditated, he realized that his fears faded away. Even though his days on earth were coming to an end, he felt happy and safe, knowing he belonged to the Lord.

Suka said, “Meditation on the Lord fills our hearts with love, courage, and wisdom. When you remember God each day, you become gentle, patient, and full of kindness for all beings. The Lord is always near those who remember Him with love.”

How Children Can Meditate

Dear children, you too can meditate on the Lord! Each day, sit quietly for a few minutes, close your eyes, and think of God’s beautiful form—maybe as Krishna, Vishnu, or in any way that makes you feel close to Him. Picture the world as His divine body, and feel the love and light that flows everywhere.

You can also listen to stories, sing songs, or help others with a happy heart. These are all forms of devotion. The Lord loves a pure, simple heart more than anything else.

Moral of the Story

The story of meditation on the Lord and His cosmic form teaches us that God is always close to us, ready to fill our lives with peace and joy. When we take time to remember Him, see His presence in everything, and live with love, we find true happiness and strength within ourselves.
