Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 04/10/2010 - 06/10/2010

SB 10.1.13

naisatiduhsaha ksun mam
tyaktodam api badhate
pibantam tvan-mukhambhoja-
cyutam hari-kathamrtam

 

Because of my vow on the verge of death, I have given up even drinking water, yet because I am drinking the nectar of topics about Krsna, which is flowing from the lotus mouth of Your Lordship, my hunger and thirst, which are extremely difficult to bear, cannot hinder me.

SB 10.1.16

vasudeva-katha-prasnah
purusams trin punati hi
vaktaram pracchakam srotèms
tat-pada-salilam yatha

The Ganges, emanating from the toe of Lord Visnu, purifies the three worlds, the upper, middle and lower planetary systems. Similarly, when one asks questions about the pastimes and characteristics of Lord Vasudeva, Krsna, three varieties of men are purified: the speaker or preacher, he who inquires, and the people in general who listen.
