Krishna - the Only Protector



Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Is the Only Protector of All Living Beings



 

The more power one has, the more one is liable to become puffed up. Demigods like Brahma and Indra sometimes become proud and forget Krishna’s supreme position. Once when Indra became envious of Krishna, he tried to punish the residents of Vrindavana by sending torrential rainfall, but Krishna protected the Vraja-vasis by lifting Govardhana Hill. Indra then approached Krishna and sought forgiveness.

[Indra said,] “Within this material world, there are many fools like myself who consider themselves to be the Supreme Lord or the all-in-all within the universe. You are so merciful that without punishing their offenses, You devise means so that their false prestige is subdued and they can know that You, and no one else, are the Supreme Personality of Godhead.”
