Kṛṣṇa’s Lotus Feet Are the Supreme Goal

“They all had performed all the principles of religion and as a result rightly decided that the lotus feet of the Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa are the supreme goal of all. Therefore they meditated upon His feet without interruption.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.15.46, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The Pāṇḍavas understood that the lotus feet of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa are the supreme goal. They therefore meditated upon His feet without interruption.
  • The purport explains that freedom from the reactions of impious acts allows concentration upon the Lord’s lotus feet. The Pāṇḍavas had always performed supreme pious work and were free from such reactions.
  • The Vaikuṇṭha world lies far beyond the material sky. Unlike the material world, it is managed by the Lord’s personal energy.
