Lord Krishna’s ultimate instruction to His devotee
Arjuna is, “Abandon all varieties of religion (dharma)
and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you

is saved from all sinful reactions incurred in this life
and all previous lives. One also becomes free of bad
association of materialistically inclined persons. This
helps one become peaceful and gentle to continue
unabated service to the Lord.

chest of the Lord of Her Life. Lakshmi devi considered
that she had become sinful by witnessing the offense
against her husband. She complained to Lord Vishnu,
but the Lord took it lightly. Bhaktivedanta Swami
Prabhupada, the founder-acarya of the Hare Krishna
