FAQs

What does Srimad Bhagavatam say about auspiciousness when Kṛṣṇa enters a family?

This verse says that when the royal queens gained Kṛṣṇa as their daughter’s beloved husband, they felt supreme joy and a great festival-like auspiciousness naturally arose.

Why were the queens so joyful after their daughter obtained Kṛṣṇa as her husband?

Because Kṛṣṇa is Bhagavān Himself and the most dear and perfect protector; attaining Him as a son-in-law/husband brings the highest satisfaction and auspicious celebration.

How can this shloka be applied in modern life?
