Krishna’s dependence on devotees
May 22nd, 2008
Q. I just want to know in which sloka Krishna had said tht He is not independent and He is completly dependent on his devotees. – Preetam
A. Here is the verse.
sri bhagavan uvaca
aham bhakta-paradhino
hy asvatantra iva dvija
sadhubhir grasta-hrdayo
bhaktair bhakta jana-priyah
“The Supreme Personality of Godhead said to the brahmana: I am completely under the control of My devotees. Indeed, I am not at all independent. Because My devotees are completely devoid of material desires, I sit only within the cores of their hearts. What to speak of My devotee, even those who are devotees of My devotee are very dear to Me.” [Bhag. 9.4.63]
