Category:Narada's Glorifying
Theme Analysis
Śrīla Nārada Muni serves as the universal preacher whose eternal engagement is the constant glorification of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As a fully liberated free soul, he is not restricted by any material boundaries, traveling throughout the planetary systems and the spiritual sky to vibrate his vīṇā, which is charged with transcendental sound. This process of glorification, or kīrtana, is not a material activity but is identical with the Lord Himself, possessing the power to enliven all distressed souls and vanquish the ill fortune of the world. Nārada Muni’s mission is all-encompassing; he glorifies not only the activities of the Lord but also the exalted qualities of His pure devotees, such as the Pāṇḍavas and Dhruva Mahārāja. By broadcasting these transcendental pastimes, he provides the ultimate relief to the miserable living entities of the universe and brings even those merged in impersonal Brahman to the path of loving devotional service.
