Introduction to a Story about Lord Vishnu Love for his Devotees

Not only does he have compassion, but he also has an unfathomable love for his followers! What does a follower of Lord Vishnu represent? Let's examine a devotee's meaning to God through his deeds. Everything to Narayana is devotion. Do not question it. For his followers, he is ever present. He won't ever abandon them. Even though devotees may experience difficulties, they will be content while chanting Hari's name! He won't let their sorrows cause them to become depressed.


Lord Vishnu's Love for his Devotee

For three days, King Ambrish fasted in order to worship Vishnu. He invited Brahmins and sages to a feast before breaking it.


As well, Sage Durvasa came. I won't eat until I've taken a bath in the river, Durvasa declared. Everyone in attendance awaited Durvasa. However, he took his time, and soon it would be noon. Ambrish was warned by the Brahmins that failing to break his fast before noon would be sinful. If I eat before Durvasa, he will feel insulted, Ambrish claimed. 


The Brahmins recommended "When Durvasa returns, you can eat after breaking your fast with water. You would avoid offending Durvasa and committing a sin if you did this."


Ambarish was about to take a sip of water when Durvasa arrived. "How dare you break your fast without me," he yelled in rage. Durvasa threw a chakra. Kings Durvasa and King Ambarish asked Vishnu for assistance. The chakra of Vishnu was released.


It started chasing Durvasa after destroying his chakra. In fear, Durvasa ran over hills and through valleys, but the chakra followed him. He went to Shiva next, who instructed him to visit Vishnu. But Vishnu remarked: "You insulted one of my supporters. You are only forgiven by him." Durvasa eventually went to Ambarish and pleaded for his life. When Ambarish prayed to Vishnu, the chakra vanished instantly.

Ambarish explained to Durvasa that he had the ability to do that because of Vishnu's devotion to Devotees of Vishnu.
