| Abstract: |
This stone stele at the Karuṇāmaya Mandira designated as a dharmastambha commemorates a one-week long performance of devotional songs for Kṛṣṇa at Bungamati in 1951 by Guru Kavi Prasāda Gautama. The fundamental duties for each of the four varṇas and āśramas along with general moral and religious norms are laid down on the basis of the Bhāgavatapurāṇa. The name of Krṣṇa is identified as the essence of Dharma and the importance of chanting it emphasized. It is promised that every year at the anniversary of the erection of the pillar a day of bhajanas for Kṛṣṇa will be performed.
