Pay for your actions

Bhagavata Dharma
“(He) will protect” should be the faith that one should have in the lotus feet of Lord. Upon constantly believing so, there shall be no fear in our life. As the saying goes “No one has suffered by keepin faith in Him”, there should be immense faith in Him. The scriptures have termed this immense faith as “Bhagavata Dharma”. We can see this in Bheemasena in Mahabharata.
