Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protection

The Lords Respond to Their Devotees

“Hearing Their devotees crying out “Kṛṣṇa! Rāma!” and seeing that they were just like cows being stolen by a thief, Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma began to run after the demon.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.34.27, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The devotees cried out, “Kṛṣṇa! Rāma!”
  • Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma saw them being driven away like cows stolen by a thief.
  • Hearing and seeing Their devotees’ distress, the two brothers ran after the demon.

Try this today

Say “Kṛṣṇa! Rāma!” attentively today, recalling how the Lords responded to Their devotees’ cries.

Ask yourself

How does the Lords’ immediate response affect your understanding of Their care for Their devotees?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

From Canto 10, chapter 14 onward, the translation and purports were completed by Śrīla Prabhupāda's disciples after his departure, and published by the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust.
