Dhruva received Lord Vishnu's blessings through his profound devotion and by spontaneously chanting a powerful Stuti (hymn of praise) dedicated to the deity.
The Path to Divine Favor
Dhruva's journey to divine favor was marked by deep spiritual dedication. After undertaking rigorous penance and meditation, his unwavering focus and sincere prayers culminated in a pivotal moment. It was then that he spontaneously chanted a Stuti in praise of Lord Vishnu. This heartfelt expression of devotion was so pure and intense that it deeply pleased the Lord, effectively conquering His heart and earning His divine attention.
The Eternal Blessing
As a testament to Dhruva's extraordinary devotion and in response to the powerful Stuti that moved Him, Lord Vishnu bestowed a unique and lasting blessing. The Lord declared that Dhruva would continue to exist eternally in the heavens, specifically in the form of a Nakshatra (a celestial star), even after his earthly life came to an end. This significant blessing ensures Dhruva's perpetual presence as the steadfast Dhruva Tara, widely known as the North Star.
