Category:God Shall

Theme Analysis

The philosophical essence of this category highlights the absolute will and supreme promises of the Personality of Godhead, expressed through the powerful declaration "I shall." Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that when the Lord states He shall do something, it is an infallible guarantee that transcends all material impediments. Most famously in the Bhagavad-gītā, Lord Kṛṣṇa promises that if a soul fully surrenders to Him, He shall deliver them from all sinful reactions. The Lord's divine will manifests in various majestic and loving ways: He declares He shall incarnate to instruct great souls like Devahūti, He shall bewilder the demons to protect the demigods, and He shall joyfully accept the simple offerings of His pure devotees. Astoundingly, the supreme controller is even willing to declare that He shall become a menial servant for a surrendered soul like Bali Mahārāja. By understanding what the Lord declares He shall do, a sincere devotee develops absolute faith in His protection and causeless mercy.

  • The Supreme Promise: The most significant declaration of the Lord is His promise in the Bhagavad-gītā that He shall deliver any soul who abandons all varieties of religion and fully surrenders unto Him.
  • Divine Instruction: The Lord repeatedly incarnates or sends His plenary portions, declaring that He shall instruct humanity in the ultimate philosophy of liberation.
  • Loving Reciprocation: Out of immense affection, the Lord declares that He shall accept even a simple leaf or flower if offered with love, and He shall personally visit the homes of His dear devotees.
  • Absolute Control: The Lord's absolute will extends to His control over material nature and the demons, such as when Lord Balarāma declared He shall force the Yamunā river to change its course.
