Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devotees

Kṛṣṇa Remains Their Only Lord

“Their relatives having thus departed, and seeing that the rainy season was approaching, the Vṛṣṇis, whose only Lord was Kṛṣṇa, went back to Dvārakā.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.84.70, translation

What the purport teaches

  • After their relatives had departed, the Vṛṣṇis prepared to return home.
  • Seeing that the rainy season was approaching, they went back to Dvārakā.
  • The Vṛṣṇis had Kṛṣṇa as their only Lord. Their return home is described alongside this steady devotion to Him.

Try this today

Before one ordinary task today, pause to remember Kṛṣṇa as your Lord and approach the task with a desire to serve Him.

Ask yourself

How can I keep Kṛṣṇa central as I attend to everyday responsibilities?

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.
