Surrender Wholeheartedly to the Dearest Lord

“I, Lord Brahmā, the other demigods and the pure-minded sages have all surrendered wholeheartedly unto You, our dearmost Self and Lord.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.63.43, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Śiva declares that he, Lord Brahmā and the other demigods have surrendered to Kṛṣṇa.
  • The pure-minded sages have also surrendered to Him. Their surrender is wholehearted.
  • They recognize Kṛṣṇa as their dearmost Self and Lord. Their surrender expresses this loving recognition.

Try this today

Offer a short, attentive prayer expressing your wish to surrender wholeheartedly to Kṛṣṇa.

Ask yourself

What would it mean for me to approach Kṛṣṇa wholeheartedly as my dearmost Lord?

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.
