Try this today

Pause for a moment today and gratefully reflect on Lord Śiva being freed from danger.

Ask yourself

How can I make Lord Śiva’s deliverance, rather than the demon’s death alone, the focus of my reflection?

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.
