About the topic:

Converting Hard Times to Happy Times through Grace (Based on Selected Verses from the Bhagavatam)

In the Bhagavatam, grace (or kripa) is considered a divine gift that can completely alter the course of a person’s life. The text demonstrates how grace can elevate an individual from a state of suffering to a state of bliss, simply through the mercy of the Lord.
