mūkaṁ karoti vācālaṁ paṅguṁ laṅghayate girim
yat-kṛpā tam ahaṁ vande śrī-guruṁ dīna-tāraṇam
hariḥ oṁ tat sat
Jayapatākā Swami: [Audio started abruptly] So Dhruva Mahārāja had gone into the forest looking for Bhagavān and he approached tigers, lions, trees, asking them are you Bhagavān? He had no idea. And then Nārada Muni appeared because he was sent by Nārāyaṇa. This boy is looking for me, go and guide him. So first of all Nārada Muni had requested the boy, you are young boy, it is dangerous in the jungle, go home. But then he said, I am looking for Bhagavān, are you Bhagavān? Nārada Muni said, “I am not Bhagavān.” Then Dhruva said, “Don’t waste my time, I want to find Bhagavān.” Finally, Nārada Muni said, “I can tell you how to find Bhagavān.” And he told him the process of bhakti-yoga. That he should go to Vṛndāvana, bathe in the Yamunā and by the side of the Yamunā he should meditate, and he should chant and he gave him a mantra. So, this verse tells us that Dhruva is now leaving for Vṛndāvana. It is very interesting because Mahārāja he just told me he is going to Vṛndāvana! [Audio break]
