Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devotees

Make Time to Approach the Lord

“Once, while traveling among the various planets of the universe, the Lord’s beloved devotee Nārada went to visit the primeval sage Nārāyaṇa at His āśrama.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.87.5, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Nārada is described as the Lord’s beloved devotee.
  • He travels among the various planets of the universe.
  • During his travels, he goes to the āśrama of the primeval sage Nārāyaṇa to see Him.

Try this today

Set aside a quiet minute today to remember the Lord, rather than moving immediately to your next task.

Ask yourself

Amid my daily movements and duties, do I make time to turn toward the 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.
