Poṣaṇa· The Lord's protection

Seek Shelter in Lord Govinda

“The domestic animals fled the pasture in fear, O King, and all the inhabitants rushed to Lord Govinda for shelter, crying, “Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa!””

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.36.5, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The domestic animals fled the pasture in fear.
  • All the inhabitants rushed to Lord Govinda for shelter. In their distress, they turned toward Him.
  • They cried out, “Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa!” Their call accompanied their seeking His shelter.

Try this today

Take a quiet moment today to call, “Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa,” in a spirit of seeking His shelter.

Ask yourself

How can the inhabitants’ call to Kṛṣṇa guide your own response to fear?

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.
