Curing the Crimes of a Lifetime

by Bibhavati-devi dasi

Adapted from Srimad-Bhagavatam, translation and commentary by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

His story is of special importance, even today, because he found an antidote to the crimes of a lifetime, and in his old age became self-realized.
