Personal Guidance

Brahmā, Dakṣa, Bhṛgu, Aṅgirā, Kārttikeya, Śiva, and all the demigods accepted Vāmana as the protector of everyone — for Kaśyapa, Aditi, and universal welfare. The whole cosmic council ratifies. Real authority is collectively recognized.

Reflection Questions

Whom in my community is universally recognized as a protector — and have I joined the ratification?
Where do I withhold endorsement that the cosmos itself would freely give?
