Here is some depictions of the Virata Rupa --- Universal Form of God.Thess are descriptions taken from the book the Bhagavad Gita-- the song of God.
This is maha vishnu lying in the causal ocean with countless universes emanating from the pores of His skin.
The entire manifestation of universes is pushed out during the exhale, then the next cycle is called the inhale or pralaya when they all go back into Him and become reabsorbed.
These are not fanciful creations of imaginations but are an attempt to crystalize images of the unfathomability of the workings of the universal space.
In order to see such a form as this Krishna -the all pervading cognizant- gave Arjuna divine eyes. Its was too awesome for Arjuna and he prays to please stop this I just want to see you as my friend.
For the universal form is an impersonal feature of the truth and Arjuna preferred the personal aspect of Krishna GOD as a two armed being which he could relate to..
