Anger Cannot Defeat the Supreme Lord

“Furious, Cāṇūra attacked Lord Vāsudeva with the speed of a hawk and struck His chest with both fists.”
Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.44.21, translation

What the purport teaches

Realizing he was being defeated, Cāṇūra became furious and made a final attempt to defeat Lord Kṛṣṇa.
He attacked Lord Vāsudeva with the speed of a hawk and struck His chest with both fists.
Cāṇūra had the spirit of a good fighter, but his hope of defeating the Supreme Personality of Godhead was misplaced.

Try this today

Pause today to remember Kṛṣṇa as the Supreme Personality of Godhead and express your wish to serve Him.

Ask yourself

What does Cāṇūra’s failed confidence teach me about recognizing Kṛṣṇa’s supremacy?

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.
