Purport

Nothing can surpass the sublime experience of being dramatically rescued by a great hero who happens to be the Supreme Lord. The death of the demons at the end of Kali-yuga is accompanied by fragrant spiritual breezes, and thus the atmosphere becomes most enchanting.

— A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
After all the thieves have been killed, the residents of the cities and towns will develop clear minds from contacting the purifying breeze from the fragrance on the body of Vāsudeva.

Personal Guidance
After the false kings are gone, transcendental fragrance from the Lord's body purifies the survivors' minds. Even now, the same fragrance — His name, His pastimes, His presence in saintly company — can purify our minds amid Kali's confusion.
Reflection Questions
  • Where in my day am I deliberately exposing my mind to Kṛṣṇa's 'fragrance'?
  • How could I increase that exposure tomorrow?
