FAQs
The Yavana refers to Kālayavana, who is burned to ashes when he looks upon King Mucukunda, whose awakened gaze carries the power of a boon.
He is emphasizing the ongoing pattern of the Lord’s protection of dharma—Krishna systematically removes those who are hostile to the saintly and oppressive to the world.
Trust that divine protection works in many ways—sometimes directly, sometimes through unexpected instruments—so remain aligned with righteousness and devotion rather than fear.
