Gudakesha.

Chapter 10, Verse 20 of the Bhagavad Gita:

अहमात्मा गुडाकेश सर्वभूताशयस्थितः |

अहमादिश्च मध्यं च भूतानामन्त एव च ||

aham ātmā guḍākeśa sarva-bhūtāśaya-sthitaḥ

aham ādiś ca madhyaṁ ca bhūtānām anta eva ca

"I am the Self, O Gudakesha (Arjuna), seated in the hearts of all creatures. I am the beginning, the middle, and the end of all beings."

1. Aham ātmā: I am the Self or the Soul.

2. Guḍākeśa: A name for Arjuna, meaning one who has conquered sleep.

3. Sarva-bhūtāśaya-sthitaḥ: Situated in the hearts of all creatures.

4. Aham ādiś ca madhyaṁ ca I am the beginning and the middle.

5. Bhūtānām anta eva ca: And indeed the end of all beings.

In this verse, Lord Krishna asserts His presence as the inner Self of all living beings, emphasizing His role as the eternal and omnipresent reality that pervades the entire cosmos. By declaring Himself as the beginning, middle, and end of all entities, He signifies that all aspects of existence are encompassed within His divine essence. This verse underscores the idea of God's immanence and transcendence in the universe.

"Gudakesa" is one of the many names of Arjuna, a key character in the Indian epic, the Mahabharata. This name translates to "one with thick or beautiful hair" or "conqueror of sleep." Arjuna earned this name due to his ability to stay awake and vigilant for extended periods. This quality signifies his dedication, discipline, and focus, attributes that are crucial for a warrior.
