FAQs

What does the Srimad Bhagavatam say about Krishna’s unlimited powers?

This verse states that Kṛṣṇa, the Paramātmā, performs innumerable wondrous acts, and because His valor is limitless, His heroic deeds are also endless.

Why did Shukadeva Goswami say this to King Parikshit (Bhārata)?

Śukadeva is emphasizing to Parīkṣit that Kṛṣṇa’s līlās and manifestations of divine potency cannot be exhaustively listed—His glories are inherently infinite.

Practical application of remembering Krishna’s endless līlās in modern life?

Regularly hearing and remembering Kṛṣṇa’s pastimes nurtures faith and devotion, helping one face uncertainty with trust in the Lord’s supreme guidance and protection.
