Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protectionAttachment to Kṛṣṇa Protects His Devotees
“Demons cannot harm the demigods, who always have Lord Viṣṇu on their side. Similarly, any person or group attached to all-auspicious Kṛṣṇa cannot be defeated by enemies.”
What the purport teaches
- Just as demons cannot harm the demigods who have Lord Viṣṇu on their side, enemies cannot defeat those attached to all-auspicious Kṛṣṇa.
- Śrīla Prabhupāda indicates that, just as Kaṁsa could not defeat Lord Kṛṣṇa’s associates, demoniac opponents will not defeat His modern-day devotees.
- The Lord’s devotees will also not be defeated by their internal enemies—the lusty, materialistic senses.
