Mukti· LiberationPray for Constant Remembrance of Kṛṣṇa
“Now I have seen Your feet, which grant liberation to Your devotees, which even Lord Brahmā and other great personalities of unfathomable intelligence can only meditate upon within their hearts, and which those who have fallen into the well of material existence resort to for deliverance. Please favor me so that I may constantly think of You as I travel about. Please grant Me the power to remember You.”
What the purport teaches
- Kṛṣṇa’s feet grant liberation to His devotees. Even Lord Brahmā and other greatly intelligent personalities meditate upon them within their hearts.
- Those fallen into the well of material existence take shelter of the Lord’s feet for deliverance. Nārada had now directly seen those feet.
- When Kṛṣṇa asked what He could do for him, Nārada requested the power to remember Him constantly while traveling. This sublime request expresses his pure devotion.
