Personal Guidance
Foreign rulers, mixed peoples, shifting kingdoms — Kali-yuga blurs old identities. Bhāgavatam never asks us to cling to ethnic pride; it asks us to take shelter of Kṛṣṇa, who is the soul of every people.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I tightening around an identity instead of resting in being a servant of Kṛṣṇa?
- How might I see those of other backgrounds as fellow eternal souls today?
