FAQs
Because the rain, wind, and cold became unbearable, the residents of Vraja—along with their animals—recognized Govinda as their true protector and approached Him for refuge.
It shows that in danger and distress, devotees naturally turn to Kṛṣṇa alone as their shelter, trusting His protection over all other supports.
When overwhelmed by external “storms” (anxiety, instability, fear), cultivate the habit of turning to Kṛṣṇa through prayer, remembrance, and steady devotional practice rather than panic or helplessness.
