Following Vraja’s Devotees Back to Kṛṣṇa
“One who worships the Lord by following in the footsteps of the inhabitants of Vrajabhūmi attains Him in the transcendental planet of Vraja, where He is known as the son of Mahārāja Nanda.”
What the purport teaches
- One who worships the Lord by following the inhabitants of Vrajabhūmi attains Him in the transcendental planet of Vraja.
- Although Kṛṣṇa is the supreme maintainer of everyone, the inhabitants know Him as a friend, son, lover or master. In every relationship, Kṛṣṇa is the center of love.
- A person engaged in devotional service may accept servitude, friendship, parental love or conjugal love. At perfection, that person returns to Kṛṣṇa in a pure spiritual identity.
