The universal form is the form of the Supreme Lord in which one can see everything in the universe, all at once. In the universal form, one can see past, present and future. One can see all the demigods of the material creation, and all other living beings. Bhagavad-gita graphically describes the revelation of the universal form: “Arjuna saw in that universal form many unlimited mouths and unlimited eyes. It was all wondrous. The form was decorated with divine, dazzling ornaments and arrayed in many garbs…. All was magnificent, allexpanding, unlimited. This was seen by Arjuna. If hundreds of thousands of suns were to rise at once in the sky, they might resemble the effulgence of the Supreme Person in that universal form.” (Bg. 11.10-12)

A forma universal é a forma do Senhor Supremo, na qual se pode ver tudo no universo, de uma só vez. Na forma universal, pode-se ver passado, presente e futuro. Pode-se ver todos os semideuses da criação material, e todos os outros seres vivos. A Bhagavad-gita descreve graficamente a revelação da forma universal: "Arjuna viu nessa forma universal muitas e ilimitadas bocas e ilimitados olhos. Era tudo maravilhoso. A forma estava decorada com ornamentos divinos, deslumbrantes, exibindo uma vasta gama de trajes distintos numa disposição ordenada.... Tudo era magnífico, um todo em expansão, ilimitado. Isto foi visto por Arjuna. Se centenas de milhares de sóis se elevassem ao mesmo tempo no céu, eles poderiam parecer-se com a refulgência da Pessoa Suprema naquela forma universal "(Bg. 11.10-12).
