Ūti· What drives us to actService to Govinda Sanctifies Our Lives
“My dear Kṣattā, Vidura, the celestial damsels come down to those rivers in their airplanes with their husbands, and after sexual enjoyment, they enter the water and enjoy sprinkling their husbands with water.”
What the purport teaches
- Even the heavenly damsels become unhappy after sexual enjoyment. They bathe in the sanctified rivers Nandā and Alakanandā.
- Anything brought into contact with devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead becomes purified and spiritualized. This principle underlies the rules and regulations of devotional service.
- One fixed in serving the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, Govinda, receives the benefits of pilgrimage. A pure devotee’s presence can make any place sacred.
