Mukti· Liberation

Hear and Glorify Kṛṣṇa

“My dear Lord, those pious and saintly persons who in the Age of Kali hear about Your transcendental activities and also glorify them will easily cross over the darkness of the age.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.6.24, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Hearing and glorifying the Lord’s transcendental activities enables saintly persons to cross easily over the darkness of Kali.
  • Rather than endlessly offering our own opinions or hearing useless material messages, we should hear about Kṛṣṇa from bona fide sources and the bona fide spiritual master.
  • Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is eternal, full of bliss and knowledge, and beyond material bewilderment. Awakening to His transcendental reality removes the nightmarish problems of material life.
