FAQs

Because Kṛṣṇa’s triumph over overwhelming hostile forces restores dharma; the devas express approval and joy by raining flowers and offering praise.

Mukunda refers to the Lord who grants liberation (mukti) and bliss; here it highlights that the Supreme Lord remains undefeated and fully powerful.

It suggests meeting life’s obstacles with steadiness and faith—seeing challenges as surmountable when one takes shelter of the Lord and acts righteously.
