Dear Friends & Devotees, STARTING NEW A CHAPTER TOMORROW! A good time to start reading along with us. Spread the Word! Śrīmad Bhagavatam Ki Jai! Todays Reading ~ SB 3.4.35,36 Vidura Approaches Maitreya Understanding that he was remembered by Lord Kṛṣṇa [while quitting this world], Vidura began to cry loudly, overwhelmed by the ecstasy of love. TEXT 35 ātmānaṁ ca kuru-śreṣṭha kṛṣṇena manasekṣitam dhyāyan gate bhāgavate ruroda prema-vihvalaḥ Śrīla Prabhupāda Purport: Vidura was overwhelmed by the ecstasy of love when he understood that Lord Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, thought of him at the last moment. Although he thought of himself as insignificant, he was remembered by the Lord, by His causeless mercy. Vidura accepted this as a great favor, and thus he cried. This crying is the last word in the progressive path of devotional service. One who can cry for the Lord in love is certainly successful in the line of devotional service. TEXT 36 kālindyāḥ katibhiḥ siddha ahobhir bharatarṣabha prāpadyata svaḥ-saritaṁ yatra mitrā-suto muniḥ After passing a few days on the bank of the River Yamunā, Vidura, the self-realized soul, reached the bank of the Ganges, where the great sage Maitreya was situated. Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Fourth Chapter, Third Canto, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Vidura Approaches Maitreya.” Hare Krishna!
