Taking Refuge in Krishna - Part Three

Bhagavan Sri Krishna is the avatara of Lord Narayana for our present age (the Kali Yuga). As Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya explains to us in this inspiring livestream talk (Part Three of a series), it is in taking refuge in Krishna that we may achieve liberation from illusion.

“I offer salutations to Krishna, the husband of the gopis, the master of the cows and cowherds. He is the embodiment of realized knowledge and possesses a form of supreme bliss.” (Gopala-Tapani Upanishad, 1.35)

“I offer repeated salutations to the incomparably great Sri Krishna, who cannot be divided, in whom there is no illusion, who cannot be equalled, who is pure and the enemy of all impurity.” (Gopala-Tapani Upanishad, 1.42)

“[Krishna said] By remembering Me, unfathomable waters become shallow. By remembering Me, the impure person is purified. By remembering Me, one who is unregulated adopts a regulated life. By remembering Me, one who is filled with lust becomes desireless. By remembering Me, one unlearned in the Vedas becomes learned.” (Gopala-Tapani Upanishad, 2.6)

“Durvasas answered her, “In the beginning, only Lord Narayana existed. The worlds were contained within Him, woven like thread on a loom. Born in the lotus of His heart, Brahma performed austerities until Narayana awarded him a boon. Brahma asked to be permitted to pose any question he chose and Narayana granted him this wish.” (Gopala-Tapani Upanishad, 2.24)

“[Narayana said to Brahma] One supreme deity is hidden in ever single living being. He is the all-pervading, indweller of all creatures. He is the director of the activities of creation, the resort of all beings, the witness, the consciousness, unique and free from the material qualities.” (Gopala-Tapani Upanishad, 2.96)
