Lord Brahma is a Guna avatar of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Shri Krishna, who was engaged in the work of creation. In the 3rd canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, there is a beautiful description when Lord Brahma is born from the navel of Lord Vishnu. And before Lord Brahma begins his work of creation of the material world, he offers beautiful prayers in the mood of surrender, to receive guidance from the Supreme Lord.

Kapiladeva is an incarnation of Lord Krishna and He gave very deep philosophical instructions to His mother. The philosophy He expounded is called “Sankya”. Mother Devahūti was well aware that she was before her spiritual master and Lord Brahmā (the chief engineer of the universe) had also informed her that her son was a powerful incarnation. In today’s episode, Aruna takes us through one particular verse (Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 3, Chapter 25, Verse 19) which goes as follows: “Perfection in self-realization cannot be attained by any kind of yogī unless he engages in devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for that is the only auspicious path.”

Elephant King Gajendra, is remembered for his extraordinary surrender to God. The great difficulty he faced in life and his eventual spiritual success are recorded and sung in India’s ancient historical texts (Puranas) for millions of years.

It is said that regular recitation of this pastime, especially early in the morning, gives the reader & the listener a great spiritual merit. This pastime shows one that the Supreme and all-compassionate Lord will protect His devotees when they are in trouble when they take complete shelter of Him.
