Live the Bhāgavatam · SB 11.6.5

Īśānukathā· The Lord and His devotees

Never Tiring of Seeing Kṛṣṇa

“In that resplendent city of Dvārakā, rich with all superior opulences, the demigods beheld with unsatiated eyes the wonderful form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.6.5, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Dvārakā was resplendent and rich with superior opulences.
  • Within that city, the demigods beheld the wonderful form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
  • Their eyes remained unsatisfied: they wanted to keep looking at Him.

Try this today

Pause for one quiet minute today to remember Śrī Kṛṣṇa as wonderful to behold.

Ask yourself

What draws my attention to Kṛṣṇa rather than to surrounding opulence?

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.
