Gauḍīya
Translation
The thirteenth Manu will be named Deva-sāvarṇi, controlled in his senses. Among his sons will be Citrasena and Vicitra.
Personal Guidance
The thirteenth Manu, Deva-sāvarṇi, will be very advanced in spiritual knowledge; sons Citrasena and Vicitra. Advanced spiritual knowledge remains the recurring qualifier across all manus. The path to highest position is unchanging.
Reflection Questions
- Am I investing in the qualifier — advanced spiritual knowledge — that recurs across every era's leadership?
- What would I do differently this year if I treated such knowledge as the actual path to influence?
