Āśraya· The supreme shelterTake Shelter of Kṛṣṇa’s Lotus Feet
“My dear Lord, Your lotus feet are the reservoir that always deserves to receive worshipful homage from all great sages eager to understand the Absolute Truth. You are full in opulence, renunciation, transcendental fame, knowledge, strength and beauty, and therefore I surrender myself unto Your lotus feet.”
What the purport teaches
- Those searching for the Absolute Truth must take shelter of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and worship Him.
- Kṛṣṇa possesses wealth, renunciation, fame, knowledge, strength and beauty in full. His name asamordhva means that no one is equal to or greater than Him.
- Kṛṣṇa asks us to think of Him, become His devotee, worship Him and offer Him obeisances. Through this surrender, we can understand Him and return home, back to Godhead.
