Mukti· Liberation

Follow Devotees in Constant Remembrance of Kṛṣṇa

“He then started towards the north, treading the path accepted by his forefathers and great men, to devote himself completely to the thought of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. And he lived in that way wherever he went.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.15.44, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira followed his forefathers and great devotees, leaving home to devote himself completely to the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
  • The system of varṇāśrama-dharma trains a person to leave household attachments at a certain stage for self-realization. Its purpose is full engagement in devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa.
  • The words brahma param indicate Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Wherever Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira went, he constantly remembered Kṛṣṇa within his heart.
