Sarvadarsanah: One who shows his grace to all

paśyanti te me rucirāṇy amba santaḥ prasanna-vaktrāruṇa-locanāni

rūpāṇi divyāni vara-pradāni sākaṁ vācaṁ spṛhaṇīyāṁ vadanti (SB 3.25.35)

O My mother, My devotees always see the smiling face of My form, with eyes like the rising morning sun. They like to see My various transcendental forms, which are all benevolent, and they also talk favorably with Me.

Sri Adi Sankaracharya says this as Sarvaani darshanaatmakaani aksheeni yasya sah which means He has eyes that see everything. He also gives the following reference from the Sruti Vishvatash cakshur vishvaaksham which means One who has eyes on all sides or One who has a Universal eye. (TaittirIya Aranyaka 10.1, 11).

The Supreme Lord Krishna shows His grace to one and all. The Lord has eyes to see everything or He has eyes that can see on all sides. The best example to depict this is the Lord in the deity form of Lord Jagannath at Puri, Odisha. The Lord has no eye lids so that He can see all His devotees from all corners of His eyes and shower His grace upon all without missing out anyone.

At the famous Venkateshwara temple in Tirumala, the Lord has the Sarvadarshana queue to see all devotees who have come from far and away in all circumstances. He has this completely free darshan queue to ensure no devotee leaves disappointed from His abode at Tirumala without having His darshan,

Lets chant the Holy Name of the all graceful Lord and seek to be covered by His grace to further our Devotional practice and be situated in His service at all times and in all Circumstances. May His eternal Grace be upon each one of us to ultimately attain His lotus feet.
