| FILE INFO | | Caption | Having accepted Narada Muni as his spiritual master, the young boy Dhruva followed his advice exactly. Dhruva went to the forest and engaged in worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead. For the first month, Dhruva ate only fruits and berries. The second month, he only ate dry grass and leaves, and in the third month he only drank water. All along, Dhruva remained completely absorbed in the worship of the Supreme Lord. In the fourth month Dhruva became a master of his breathing and only inhaled on every twelfth day. By the fifth month, Dhruva Maharaja was able to stand on one leg perfectly, without movement, and concentrate his mind fully on the Supreme cause of all causes. Dhruva's mind was completely fixed upon the form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
