What is the meaning of taking shelter of the Lord's Lotus Feet?

I heard this in a class by HG Vraja bihari Prabhu sometime in 2011 maybe:


What is the meaning of taking shelter of the Lord's Lotus Feet?

  • Physical Darshan
  • Humility, want to serve Krsna, become a servant of Krsna and His devotees. Take a humble position. Follow instructions
What is the qualification to take darshan of His Lotus Feet?
  • Attachment to hearing and Chanting about Krsna
  • Non enviousness
  • Hold on to the Holy Name - Kaliya was envious but by allowing Krsna to dance on his head all his dirty poison came out. Similarly if we hold on to the Lord;s Holy Name we will be cured of our envy.
How to meditate on Krsna's Lotus Feet?
  • Take Darshan step by step from His Lotus Feet progressively upwards finally to His face.
  • Follow the instructions of the spiritual master.
