Āśraya· The supreme shelter

Hari Is the Lord of Everyone

“The Supreme Lord Hari is certainly not your son alone. Rather, being the Lord, He is the son, Soul, father and mother of everyone.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.46.42, translation

What the purport teaches

  • The Supreme Lord Hari is not the son of His parents alone.
  • Being the Lord, He is the son and Soul of everyone.
  • He is also everyone’s father and mother.

Try this today

Think of one person today and remember that Hari is their Soul, father and mother too.

Ask yourself

How does remembering that Hari is everyone’s Lord broaden your sense of relationship with others?

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.
