Educational Q&A
That the universe—heavenly bodies, space, directions, earth, and ocean—depends on the sustaining power of Vāsudeva; recognizing this fosters devotion, humility, and alignment with dharma rather than ego-driven action.
Bhīṣma, instructing on dharma and higher truths in the Anuśāsana Parva, praises Vāsudeva’s supreme potency by describing him as the support of the entire cosmos.
