Mukti· Liberation

Hearing and Service Free Us from Bondage

“One who always remembers your activities and My activities also, and who chants the prayers you have offered, becomes free, in due course of time, from the reactions of material activities.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 7.10.14, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Hearing and chanting about Prahlāda Mahārāja and Nṛsiṁhadeva gradually frees one from the bondage of fruitive activities. Remembering their activities and chanting Prahlāda’s prayers brings this freedom in due course.
  • A devotee should not be overwhelmed by distress or extraordinarily elated by material opulence. Steadiness in both is expert management of material life.
  • One who serves Kṛṣṇa with body, mind, intelligence and words is liberated even within this world. Constant devotional service frees a devotee from material bondage in any condition of life.
