NÄrada Muni is one of the great devotees of the Lord who appeared among the demigods. PrahlÄda MahÄrÄja appeared among the demons, and many other great devotees, such as AmbarÄ«á¹£a MahÄrÄja and the PÄṇá¸avas, appeared among human beings. One should take shelter of the devotees’ exemplary activities and also the holy places where devotees reside. Thus one will remain safe on the path of devotional service.
