From the scriptures we understand that the Supreme Lord is the bestower of all benedictions to the living entities based on their desire and qualification. Many living entities approach the Lord with different desires and praying to Him for many things. However, we can see in Mahabharata and Ramayana and other scriptures that the Lord Himself asks for many benedictions from His so-called elders, devotees and devatas. We see in Mahabharata that Lord Krishna went to Mount Kailash and prayed to Lord Shiva for a son (The history is that Lord Shiva once prayed to the Supreme Lord for an opportunity to offer a benediction to the Supreme Lord. The Lord said He will fulfill Lord Siva’s desire during Krishna lila, by praying for a son). In Ramayana, we can see that Lord Rama asked two benedictions from Lord Brahma after the battle with Ravana was over. In Bhagavata purana, Lord Parasurama asked benediction to Jamadagni to bring back His mother and brothers back to life. In all the above situations the Lord always asked benedictions to glorify the other person and nothing for Himself. This is because the Lord by nature is ‘aapta kaama‘ (one who has no unfulfilled desires). In spite of this, He asks benedictions from His servant devotees to satisfy and please them. There was one instance that the Lord asked for a benediction for Himself and we can see how exemplary was that benediction. This wonderful pastime occurs in the Mahabharata and is briefly stated below.

Once when I inquired our Guru Maharaj about some doubt regarding the execution of some work in which I had no previous experience, Maharaj told me take Bhagavatam and turn to the verse 3.9.29:
shri bhagavaan uvaaca
maa veda garbha gaas tandreem / sarga udhyamam aavaha
tan mayaapaaditam hy agre / yan maam praarthyate bhavaan
The Supreme Personality of Godhead then said: "O Brahmaa, O depth of Vedic wisdom, be neither depressed nor anxious about the execution of creation. What you are begging from Me has already been granted before."

When our dear God Brother H.G. Devaki Nandan das prabhuji came to Abudhabi, he spoke on the following wonderful verse from Srimad Bhagavad Gita 11.44. I shall share some of the points from Prabhuji’s lecture in this mail.
tasmaat pranamya pranidhaaya kaayam
prasaadaye tvaam aham isham idyam
piteva putrasya sakheva sakhyuh
priyah priyaayaarhasi deva sodhum
