FAQs

What does the Srimad Bhagavatam say about Yogamaya in Krishna’s pastimes?

This verse shows that Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma act within the world by taking shelter of Yogamāyā, the Lord’s divine potency that arranges and conceals His pastimes for the sake of līlā.

Why did Krishna and Balarama go to Sutala according to Bhagavatam 10.85?

They went to Sutala because Their mother prompted Them; the narrative context is that Kṛṣṇa fulfills Devakī’s desire connected to events surrounding her children, and the Lord’s līlā leads Them to the subterranean realm.

How can a devotee apply the idea of taking shelter in modern life?

Like the Lord’s pastimes proceed under Yogamāyā, a devotee can move through duties and challenges by taking shelter of Bhagavān—through prayer, remembrance, and steady sādhana—trusting divine arrangement while acting responsibly.
