Kṛṣṇa’s Queens Consider Themselves Maidservants

“In Dvārakā-dhāma, all the queens, headed by Rukmiṇī, also consider themselves maidservants of Lord Kṛṣṇa.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Ādi 6.72, translation

What the purport teaches

  • In Dvārakā-dhāma, all the queens consider themselves maidservants of Lord Kṛṣṇa.
  • Rukmiṇī heads these queens and shares this understanding of service.
  • Their position as queens does not replace their conception of themselves as Kṛṣṇa’s maidservants.
