Krishna Katha - Verse for meditation - 06/03/2013 - 07/03/2013 - Ekadasi reminder 8th March Friday (Melbourne)

SB 11.14.18

badhyamano 'pi mad-bhakto
visayair ajitendriyah
prayah pragalbhaya bhaktya
visayair nabhibhuyate

 

My dear Uddhava, if My devotee has not fully conquered his senses, he may be harassed by material desires, but because of his unflinching devotion for Me, he will not be defeated by sense gratification.

Lord Krsna

 

SB 11.14.19

yathagnih su-samrddharcih
karoty edhamsi bhasmasat
tatha mad-visaya bhaktir
uddhavainamsi krtsnasah

 

My dear Uddhava, just as a blazing fire turns firewood into ashes, similarly, devotion unto Me completely burns to ashes sins committed by My devotees.

Lord Krsna

 

SB 11.14.20

na sadhayati mam yogo
na sankhyam dharma uddhava
na svadhyayas tapas tyago
yatha bhaktir mamorjita


My dear Uddhava, the unalloyed devotional service rendered to Me by My devotees brings Me under their control. I cannot be thus controlled by those engaged in mystic yoga, Sankhya philosophy, pious work, Vedic study, austerity or renunciation.

Lord Krsna
