Kṛṣṇa Sits Silently Beneath a Tree

“Lord Kṛṣṇa, the son of Devakī, having seen the departure of Lord Rāma, sat down silently on the ground under a nearby pippala tree.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.30.27, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Lord Kṛṣṇa, the son of Devakī, saw the departure of Lord Rāma.
  • He went to a nearby pippala tree.
  • There He sat silently on the ground.

Try this today

Spend one quiet minute remembering Lord Kṛṣṇa seated beneath the pippala tree.

Ask yourself

What do I notice when I quietly attend to this description of Lord Kṛṣṇa?

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.
