can become free of the oppressive laws of karma.
              One who does not know the transcendental nature
              of the Lord and who thinks that the activities of the
              Lord are aimed at selfish material results, as are the
              activities  of  the  ordinary  living  entities,  certainly
              becomes  entangled  himself  in  karmic  reactions.
              But one who knows the truth about Lord Vishnu is
              a liberated soul fixed in the determination to serve
              the Supreme Lord. This is affirmed by Lord Krishna,
              “There is no work that affects Me; nor do I aspire for
              the fruits of action. One who understands this truth
              about  Me  also does not become  entangled in  the
              fruitive reactions of work.” (Bg 4.14)

                    Bhrigu Muni’s great service for the
                                 sages and the demigods

              Bhrigu Muni enlightened the sages and demigods by
              revealing who is actually the Supreme Personality of
              Godhead. Without the help of a genuine devotee of
              the Lord it is impossible to ascertain the truth about
              God.  Academic  scholarship  is  not  the  qualification
              needed to understand  Lord Krishna.  The great
              demigods and sages have tried to understand Lord
              Krishna by their mental speculation, but they have
              not succeeded  because this  spiritual  knowledge
              is  received  by  revelation,  not  by  speculation.  Only
