Krishna accepts your loving service through His form, though He transcends all material nature and remains the supreme, uncontrolled controller of everything.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.8.18 — July 4, 1974, Chicago 740704SB-CHICAGO [30:10 Minutes] SB-01.08.18_740704SB-CHICAGO Prabhupāda: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse] kunty uvāca namasye puruṣaṁ tu ādyam īśvaraṁ prakṛteḥ param alakṣyaṁ sarva-bhūtānām antar bahir avasthitam [SB 1.8.18] [02:05] This is a prayer offered by Kuntī to Kṛṣṇa.
After finishing the Battle of Kurukṣetra, when Kṛṣṇa was leaving for His own kingdom, Dvārakā, at that time He went to take blessings from Kuntī. Kuntī happened to be Kṛṣṇa's aunt, father's sister. So He went to take leave from aunt. At that time Kuntī offered this prayer.
Kuntī, although she knew that Kṛṣṇa is her nephew, brother's son, but still she knew that Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Kṛṣṇa comes here as ordinary human being, but the purpose is to reestablish the principles of religion as it is stated in the Bhagavad-gītā, paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām [Bg. 4.8]. Yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata, tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham [Bg. 4.7]. The..., anything, īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam, anything, whatever you see, that is God's property, Kṛṣṇa's property.
So as the owner sometimes goes to visit his property or to see things, that management is going on nicely, so everything belongs to God. Kṛṣṇa says in the Bhagavad-gītā, sarva-loka-maheśvaram. [children making noises] Devotee: Take the children out. Prabhupāda: bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ sarva-loka-maheśvaram suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānāṁ jñātvā māṁ śāntim ṛcchati [Bg. 5.29] This is the mistake of the modern world. Not only modern; this is the mistake of the material world.
They do not know that everything belongs to God. That's a fact. We fight, "This is my land, this is your land," but fighting, we die, and the land is there. The land does not go with the fighters.
They fight amongst themselves, "This is my land," "This is my land," but the land remains, and the persons fighting, they go away. This is the position. But still we do not understand that the land does not belong to either you or to me; it belongs to Kṛṣṇa. So anyway, just to establish, to remind them, Kṛṣṇa comes, so that "Any land does not belong to you." Bhoktāram, "I am the enjoyer," sarva-loka-maheśvaram, "I am the proprietor of all the planets." That's a fact. So Kuntī knew it, that "We are..., we fought the Battle of Kurukṣetra, but actually Kṛṣṇa is the supreme proprietor." Therefore he is..., she is offering her prayer, namasye puruṣaṁ tvā, "You are puruṣam." Puruṣam means the enjoyer.
Kṛṣṇa is not addressed as a..., a female. Just like there are—not in your country; in India—there are many devotees of Durgā, that they take Durgā as the supreme. Durgā is supreme, the supreme power and energy within this material world. The supreme energy, that is external energy, that is called Durgā.
