"In the Second Chapter of the Fourth Canto, the cause of the dissension between Lord Śiva and Dakṣa, which was due to a great sacrifice arranged by Dakṣa for the pacification of the entire universe, is explained. Lord Śiva is described here as the best of the gentle because he is not envious of anyone, he is equal to all living entities, and all other good qualities are present in his personality. Śiva means all auspicious. No one can be an enemy of Lord Śiva's, for he is so peaceful and renounced that he does not even construct a house for his residence, but lives underneath a tree, always detached from all worldly things. The personality of Lord Śiva symbolizes the best of gentleness. Why, then, was Dakṣa, who offered his beloved daughter to such a gentle personality, so intensely inimical towards Lord Śiva that Satī, the daughter of Dakṣa and wife of Lord Śiva, gave up her body?"

"Lord Śiva is described here as <i>carācara-guru,</i> the spiritual master of all animate and inanimate objects. He is sometimes known as Bhūtanātha, which means the worshipable deity of the dull-headed. <i>Bhūta</i> is also sometimes taken to indicate the ghosts. Lord Śiva takes charge of reforming persons who are ghosts and demons, not to speak of others, who are godly; therefore he is the spiritual master of everyone, both the dull and demoniac and the highly learned Vaiṣṇavas. It is also stated, <i>vaiṣṇavānāṁ yathā śambhuḥ.</i> Śambhu, Lord Śiva, is the greatest of all Vaiṣṇavas. On one hand he is the worshipable object of the dull demons, and on the other he is the best of all Vaiṣṇavas, or devotees, and he has a <i>sampradāya</i> called the Rudra-sampradāya. Even if he is an enemy or is sometimes angry, such a personality cannot be the object of envy, so Vidura, in astonishment, asked why he was taken as such, especially by Dakṣa. Dakṣa is also not an ordinary person. He is a Prajāpati, in charge of fathering population, and all his daughters are highly elevated, especially Satī. Satī means the most chaste. Whenever there is consideration of chastity, Satī, this wife of Lord Śiva and daughter of Dakṣa, is considered first. Vidura was astonished that there could possibly be so much enmity between Dakṣa, who was such a great man, the father of Satī, and Lord Śiva, the spiritual master of everyone, that the most chaste goddess Satī gave up her body in that quarrel."

In other words, he was in complete knowledge that he was speaking against Lord Śiva in spite of Śiva's spotless character. As far as envy is concerned, from the very beginning he was envious of Lord Śiva; therefore he could not distinguish his own particular envy. Although he spoke like a man in ignorance, he wanted to cover his statements by saying that he was not speaking for impudent and envious reasons."

"Dakṣa wanted to impress upon the minds of all the great sages assembled in that meeting that Śiva, being one of the demigods, had ruined the good reputations of all the demigods by his unmannerly behavior. The words used against Lord Śiva by Dakṣa can also be understood in a different way, in a good sense. For example, he stated that Śiva is <i>yaśoghna,</i> which means one who spoils name and fame. So this can also be interpreted to mean that he was so famous that his fame killed all other fame. Again, he used the word <i>nirapatrapa,</i> which also can be used in two senses. One sense is one who is stunted, and another sense is one who is the maintainer of persons who have no other shelter. Generally Lord Śiva is known as the lord of the <i>bhūtas</i> or lower grade of living creatures. They take shelter of Lord Śiva because he is very kind to everyone and is very quickly satisfied. Therefore he is called Āśutoṣa. To such men, who cannot approach other demigods or Viṣṇu, Lord Śiva gives shelter. Therefore the word <i>nirapatrapa</i> can be used in that sense."

According to the estimation of Dakṣa, Śiva was unclean in habits and not worthy to have the hand of his daughter, Satī, who was so enlightened, beautiful and chaste. The word used in this connection is <i>bhinna-setave,</i> which means one who has broken all the regulations for good behavior by not following the Vedic principles. In other words, according to Dakṣa the entire transaction of the marriage of his daughter with Śiva was not in order."

"Those who do not regularly bathe are supposed to be in association with ghosts and crazy creatures. Lord Śiva appeared to be like that, but his name, Śiva, is actually fitting, for he is very kind to persons who are in the darkness of the mode of ignorance, such as unclean drunkards who do not regularly bathe. Lord Śiva is so kind that he gives shelter to such creatures and gradually elevates them to spiritual consciousness. Although it is very difficult to raise such creatures to spiritual understanding, Lord Śiva takes charge of them, and therefore, as stated in the <i>Vedas,</i> Lord Śiva is all-auspicious. Thus by his association even such fallen souls can be elevated. Sometimes it is seen that great personalities meet with fallen souls, not for any personal interest but for the benefit of those souls. In the creation of the Lord there are different kinds of living creatures. Some of them are in the mode of goodness, some are in the mode of passion, and some are in the mode of ignorance. Lord Viṣṇu takes charge of persons who are advanced Kṛṣṇa conscious Vaiṣṇavas, and Lord Brahmā takes charge of persons who are very much attached to material activities, but Lord Śiva is so kind that he takes charge of persons who are in gross ignorance and whose behavior is lower than that of the animals. Therefore Lord Śiva is especially called auspicious."

He was so angry that he did not acknowledge that the request was from his father. Instead, he referred to Brahmā as <i>parameṣṭhī,</i> the supreme teacher in the universe; because of his temperament of gross anger, he was not even prepared to accept Brahmā as his father. In other words, he accused even Brahmā of being less intelligent because he had advised Dakṣa to hand over his beautiful daughter to such a nasty fellow. In anger one forgets everything, and thus Dakṣa, in anger, not only accused the great Lord Śiva, but criticized his own father, Lord Brahmā, for his not very sanguine advice that Dakṣa hand over his daughter to Lord Śiva."

"Due to this curse, Śiva was deprived of his share in the oblations of Vedic sacrifices. It is due to the curse of Dakṣa, Śrī Viśvanātha Cakravartī comments in this connection, that Lord Śiva was saved from the calamity of taking part with other demigods, who were all materialistic. Lord Śiva is the greatest devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and it is not fitting for him to eat or sit with materialistic persons like the demigods. Thus the curse of Dakṣa was indirectly a blessing, for he would not have to eat or sit with other demigods, who were too materialistic. There is a practical example set for us by Gaurakiśora dāsa Bābājī Mahārāja, who used to sit on the side of a latrine to chant Hare Kṛṣṇa. Many materialistic persons used to come and bother him and disturb his daily routine of chanting, so to avoid their company he used to sit by the side of a latrine, where materialistic persons would not go because of the filth and the obnoxious smell. However, Gaurakiśora dāsa Bābājī Mahārāja was so great that he was accepted as the spiritual master of such a great personality as His Divine Grace Oṁ Viṣṇupāda Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Mahārāja. The conclusion is that Lord Śiva behaved in his own way to avoid materialistic persons who might disturb him in his prosecution of devotional service."

"Anger is so detrimental that even a great personality like Dakṣa, out of anger, left the arena where Brahmā was presiding and all the great sages and pious and saintly persons were assembled. All of them requested him not to leave, but, infuriated, he left, thinking that the auspicious place was not fit for him. Puffed up by his exalted position, he thought that no one was greater than him in argument. It appears that all the members of the assembly, including Lord Brahmā, requested him not to be angry and leave their company, but in spite of all these requests, he left. That is the effect of cruel anger. In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>, therefore, it is advised that one who desires to make tangible advancement in spiritual consciousness must avoid three things—lust, anger and the mode of passion. Actually we can see that lust, anger and passion make a man crazy, even though he be as great as Dakṣa. The very name Dakṣa suggests that he was expert in all material activities, but still, because of his aversion towards such a saintly personality as Śiva, he was attacked by these three enemies—anger, lust and passion. Lord Caitanya, therefore, advised that one be very careful not to offend Vaiṣṇavas. He has compared offenses toward a Vaiṣṇava to a mad elephant. As a mad elephant can do anything horrible, so when a person offends a Vaiṣṇava he can perform any abominable action."

This is due to their ignorance of Lord Śiva's position. Nandīśvara was also affected by the cursing, but he did not follow the example of Lord Śiva, who was also present there. Lord Śiva could also have cursed Dakṣa in a similar way, but he was silent and tolerant; Nandīśvara, his follower, however, was not tolerant. Of course, as a follower it was right for him not to tolerate an insult to his master, but he should not have cursed the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> who were present. The entire issue was so complicated that those who were not strong enough forgot their positions, and thus cursing and countercursing went on in that great assembly. In other words, the material field is so unsteady that even personalities like Nandīśvara, Dakṣa and many of the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> present were also infected by the atmosphere of anger."

In <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> it is said that this flowery language of the <i>Vedas</i> mostly attracts persons who identify with the body. To them such happiness as that of the heavenly kingdom is everything; they do not know that beyond that there is the spiritual kingdom or kingdom of God, and they have no knowledge that one can go there.

"The third curse inflicted by Nandīśvara on the <i>brāhmaṇas</i> who supported Dakṣa is completely functioning in the age of Kali. The so-called <i>brāhmaṇas</i> are no longer interested in understanding the nature of the Supreme Brahman, although a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> means one who has attained knowledge about Brahman. In the <i>Vedānta-sūtra</i> also it is stated, <i>athāto brahma-jijñāsā:</i> this human form of life is meant for realization of the Supreme Brahman or Absolute Truth, or, in other words, human life is meant for one's elevation to the post of a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> Unfortunately the modern <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> or so-called <i>brāhmaṇas</i> who come in originally brahminical families, have left their own occupational duties, but they do not allow others to occupy the posts of <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> The qualifications for <i>brāhmaṇas</i> are described in the scriptures, in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Bhagavad-gītā</i> and all other Vedic literatures. <i>Brāhmaṇa</i> is not a hereditary title or position. If someone from a non-<i>brāhmaṇa</i> family (for example, one born in a family of <i>śūdras</i>) tries to become a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> by being properly qualified under the instruction of a bona fide spiritual master, these so-called <i>brāhmaṇas</i> will object. Such <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> being cursed by Nandīśvara, are actually in a position where they have no discrimination between eatables and noneatables and simply live to maintain the perishable material body and its family. Such fallen conditioned souls are not worthy to be called <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> but in Kali-yuga they claim to be <i>brāhmaṇas,</i> and if a person actually tries to attain the brahminical qualifications, they try to hinder his progress. This is the situation in the present age. Caitanya Mahāprabhu condemned this principle very strongly. During His conversation with Rāmānanda Rāya, He said that regardless of whether a person is born in a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> family or <i>śūdra</i> family, regardless of whether he is a householder or a <i>sannyāsī,</i> if he knows the science of Kṛṣṇa he must be a spiritual master. He had many so-called <i>śūdra</i> disciples like Haridāsa Ṭhākura and Rāmānanda Rāya. Even the Gosvāmīs, who were principal students of Lord Caitanya, were also ostracized from <i>brāhmaṇa</i> society, but Caitanya Mahāprabhu, by His grace, made them first-class Vaiṣṇavas."

"The word <i>duratyaya</i> is particularly used in reference to a <i>brahma-daṇḍa,</i> or curse by a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> A curse by a <i>brāhmaṇa</i> is very strong; therefore it is called <i>duratyaya,</i> or insurmountable. As the Lord states in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> the stringent laws of nature are insurmountable; similarly, if a curse is uttered by a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> that curse is also insurmountable. But <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> also says that the curses or benedictions of the material world are, after all, material creations. The <i>Caitanya-caritāmṛta</i> also confirms that that which is accepted in this material world to be a benediction and that which is taken to be a curse are both on the same platform because they are material. To get out of this material contamination, one should take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as recommended in <i>Bhagavad-</i><b><i>gītā</i></b>: <i>mām eva ye prapadyante māyām etāṁ taranti te.</i> The best path is to transcend all material curses and benedictions and take shelter of the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa, and remain in a transcendental position. Persons who have taken shelter of Kṛṣṇa are always peaceful; they are never cursed by anyone, nor do they attempt to curse anyone. That is a transcendental position."

In the <i>Śiva Purāṇa</i> it is stated that Lord Śiva said to Pārvatī that in the Kali-yuga, in the body of a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> he would preach the Māyāvādī philosophy. Thus it is generally found that the worshipers of Lord Śiva are Māyāvādī followers. Lord Śiva himself says, <i>māyāvādam asac-chāstram.</i> <i>Asat-śāstra,</i> as explained here, means the doctrine of Māyāvādī impersonalism, or becoming one with the Supreme. Bhṛgu Muni cursed that persons who worshiped Lord Śiva would become followers of this Māyāvādī <i>asat-śāstra</i>. It is called <i>asat-śāstra</i> because the Māyāvādī doctrine attempts to establish that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is impersonal. Besides that, among the worshipers of Lord Śiva there is a section who live a devilish life. <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> and <i>Nārada-pañcarātra</i> are authorized scriptures that are considered <i>sat-śāstra,</i> or scriptures which lead one to the path of God realization. <i>Asat-śāstras</i> are just the opposite."

"Bhṛgu Muni, in cursing Nandīśvara, said that not only would they be degraded as atheists because of his curse, but they had already fallen to the standard of atheism because they had blasphemed the <i>Vedas</i>, which are the source of human civilization. Human civilization is based on the qualitative divisions of social order, namely the intelligent class, the martial class, the productive class and the laborer class. The <i>Vedas</i> provide the right direction for advancing in spiritual cultivation and economic development and regulating the principle of sense gratification, so that ultimately one may be liberated from material contamination to his real state of spiritual identification (<i>ahaṁ brahmāsmi</i>). As long as one is in the contamination of material existence, he changes bodies from the aquatics up to the position of Brahmā, but the human form of life is the highest perfectional life in the material world. The <i>Vedas</i> give direction how to elevate oneself in the next life, so the <i>Vedas</i> are the mother for such instructions, and the <i>brāhmaṇas</i>, or persons who are in knowledge of the <i>Vedas</i>, are the father. Thus if one blasphemes the <i>Vedas</i> and <i>brāhmaṇas</i>, naturally one goes down to the status of atheism. The exact word used in Sanskrit is <i>nāstika</i>, which means one who does not believe in the <i>Vedas</i> but manufactures some concocted system of religion. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has said that the followers of the Buddhist system of religion are <i>nāstikas</i>. In order to establish his doctrine of nonviolence, Lord Buddha flatly refused to believe in the <i>Vedas</i>, and thus, later on, Śaṅkarācārya stopped this system of religion in India and forced it to go outside India. Here it is stated, <i>brahma ca brāhmaṇān</i>. <i>Brahma</i> means the <i>Vedas</i>. <i>Ahaṁ brahmāsmi</i> means \"I am in full knowledge.\" The Vedic assertion is that one should think that he is Brahman, for actually he is Brahman. If <i>brahman</i> or the Vedic spiritual science is condemned, and the masters of the spiritual science, the <i>brāhmaṇas</i>, are condemned, then where does human civilization stand? Bhṛgu Muni says, \"It is not due to my cursing that you shall become atheists; you are already situated in the principle of atheism. Therefore you are condemned.\""

"translation": "<b>The Vedas give the eternal regulative principles for auspicious advancement in human civilization which have been rigidly followed in the past.

"purport": [

"In the <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, has claimed that He is the father of all living entities, regardless of form. There are 8,400,000 different species of life forms, and Lord Kṛṣṇa claims that He is the father of all. Because the living entities are parts and parcels of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, they are all sons of the Lord, and for their benefit, because they are hovering under the impression that they can lord it over material nature, the <i>Vedas</i> are given to them for their guidance. Therefore the <i>Vedas</i> are called <i>apauruṣeya,</i> for they are not written by any man or demigod, including the first living creature, Brahmā. Brahmā is not the creator or author of the <i>Vedas.</i> He is also one of the living beings in this material world; therefore he does not have the power to write or speak the <i>Vedas</i> independently. Every living entity within this material world is subject to four deficiencies: he commits mistakes, he accepts one thing for another, he cheats, and he has imperfect senses. The <i>Vedas,</i> however, are not written by any living creature within this material world. Therefore they are said to be <i>apauruṣeya.</i> No one can trace out the history of the <i>Vedas.</i> Of course, modern human civilization has no chronological history of the world or the universe, and it cannot present actual historical facts older than 3,000 years. But no one has traced out when the <i>Vedas</i> were written, because they were never written by any living being within this material world. All other systems of knowledge are defective because they have been written or spoken by men or demigods who are products of this material creation, but <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> is <i>apauruṣeya,</i> for it was not spoken by any human being or any demigod of this material creation; it was spoken by Lord Kṛṣṇa, who is beyond the material creation. That is accepted by such stalwart scholars as Śaṅkarācārya, not to speak of other <i>ācāryas</i> such as Rāmānujācārya and Madhvācārya. Śaṅkarācārya has accepted that Nārāyaṇa and Kṛṣṇa are transcendental, and in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> also Lord Kṛṣṇa has established, <i>ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavo mattaḥ sarvaṁ pravartate:</i> \"I am the origin of everything; everything has emanated from Me.\" This material creation, including Brahmā and Śiva and all the demigods, has been created by Him, for everything has emanated from Him. He also says that (<i>vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ</i>) the purpose of all the <i>Vedas</i> is to understand Him. He is the original <i>veda-vit</i>, or knower of <i>Vedānta</i>, and <i>vedānta-kṛt</i>, or compiler of the <i>Vedas</i>. Brahmā is not the compiler of the <i>Vedas</i>.",
|
||||
"In the beginning of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> it is established, <i>tene brahma hṛdā:</i> the Supreme Absolute Truth, the Personality of Godhead, instructed Brahmā in the Vedic knowledge through his heart. Therefore the evidence that Vedic knowledge is free from the defects of mistakes, illusions, cheating and imperfection is that it is spoken by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Janārdana, and has thus been followed from time immemorial, beginning from Brahmā. The Vedic religion or the principles of the <i>Vedas</i> have been followed by the highly cultured population of India since time immemorial; no one can trace out the history of Vedic religion. Therefore it is <i>sanātana,</i> and any blasphemy against the <i>Vedas</i> is calculated to be atheism. The <i>Vedas</i> are described as <i>śetu,</i> which means bridge. If one wants to attain his spiritual existence, one has to cross an ocean of nescience. The <i>Vedas</i> are the bridge to cross such a great ocean. The <i>Vedas</i> describe how to divide the human race into four divisions according to quality and working capacity. This is a very scientific system, and it is also <i>sanātana,</i> for no one can trace out its history, and it has no dissolution. No one can stop the system of <i>varṇa</i> and <i>āśrama,</i> or the castes and divisions. For example, whether or not one accepts the name <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> there is a class in society which is known as the intelligent class and which is interested in spiritual understanding and philosophy. Similarly, there is a class of men who are interested in administration and in ruling others. In the Vedic system these martially spirited men are called <i>kṣatriyas.</i> Similarly, everywhere there is a class of men who are interested in economic development, business, industry and moneymaking; they are called <i>vaiśyas.</i> And there is another class who are neither intelligent nor martially spirited nor endowed with the capacity for economic development but who simply can serve others. They are called <i>śūdras,</i> or the laborer class. This system is <i>sanātana</i>—it comes from time immemorial, and it will continue in the same way. There is no power in the world which can stop it. Therefore, since this <i>sanātana-dharma</i> system is eternal, one can elevate himself to the highest standard of spiritual life by following the Vedic principles. It is stated that formerly the sages followed this system; therefore to follow the Vedic system is to follow the standard etiquette of society. But the followers of Lord Śiva, who are drunkards, who are addicted to intoxicants and sex life, who do not bathe and who smoke <i>gāñjā,</i> are against all human etiquette. The conclusion is that persons who rebel against the Vedic principles are themselves the evidence that the <i>Vedas</i> are authoritative because by not following the Vedic principles they become like animals. Such animalistic persons are themselves evidence of the supremacy of the Vedic regulations."

Another meaning of <i>bhūta</i> is anyone who has taken birth or anything which is produced, so in that sense Lord Śiva may be accepted as the father of this material world. Here, of course, Bhṛgu Muni takes Lord Śiva as the leader of the lowest creatures. The characteristics of the lowest class of men have already been described—they do not bathe, they have long hair on their heads, and they are addicted to intoxicants. In comparison to the path followed by the followers of Bhūtarāṭ, the Vedic system is certainly excellent, for it promotes people to spiritual life as the highest eternal principle of human civilisation. If one decries or blasphemes the Vedic principles, then he falls to the standard of atheism."

"Here Lord Śiva's excellent character is described. In spite of the cursing and countercursing between the parties of Dakṣa and Śiva, because he is the greatest Vaiṣṇava he was so sober that he did not say anything. A Vaiṣṇava is always tolerant, and Lord Śiva is considered the topmost Vaiṣṇava, so his character, as shown in this scene, is excellent. He became morose because he knew that these people, both his men and Dakṣa's, were unnecessarily cursing and countercursing one another, without any interest in spiritual life. From his point of view, he did not see anyone as lower or higher, because he is a Vaiṣṇava. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>, <i>paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ:</i> one who is perfectly learned does not see anyone as lesser or greater because he sees everyone from the spiritual platform. Thus the only alternative left to Lord Śiva was to leave in order to stop his follower, Nandīśvara, as well as Bhṛgu Muni, from cursing and countercursing in that way."

"After Lord Śiva and, previously, Dakṣa, left the arena of sacrifice, the sacrifice was not stopped; the sages went on for many years in order to satisfy the Supreme Lord. The sacrifice was not destroyed for want of Śiva and Dakṣa, and the sages went on with their activities. In other words, it may be assumed that if one does not worship the demigods, even up to Lord Śiva and Brahmā, one can nevertheless satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is also confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>. <i>Kāmais tais tair hṛta jñānāḥ prapadyante 'nya-devatāḥ.</i> Persons who are impelled by lust and desire go to the demigods to derive some material benefit. <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> uses the very specific words <i>naṣṭi-buddhiḥ</i>, meaning persons who have lost their sense or intelligence. Only such persons care for demigods and want to derive material benefit from them. Of course, this does not mean that one should not show respect to the demigods, but there is no need to worship them. One who is honest may be faithful to the government, but he does not need to bribe the government servants. Bribery is illegal; one does not bribe a government servant, but that does not mean that he does not show him respect. Similarly, one who engages in the transcendental loving service of the Supreme Lord does not need to worship any demigod, nor does he have any tendency to show disrespect to the demigods. Elsewhere in <i>Bhagavad-gītā </i>it is stated, <i>ye 'py anya-devatā-bhaktā yajante śraddhayānvitāḥ.</i> The Lord says that anyone who worships the demigods is also worshiping Him, but he is worshiping <i>avidhi-pūrvakam,</i> which means without following the regulative principles. The regulative principle is to worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Worship of demigods may indirectly be worship of the Personality of Godhead, but it is not regulated. By worshiping the Supreme Lord, one automatically serves all the demigods because they are parts and parcels of the whole. If one supplies water to the root of a tree, all the parts of the tree, such as the leaves and branches, are automatically satisfied, and if one supplies food to the stomach, all the limbs of the body—the hands, legs, fingers, etc.—are nourished. Thus by worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead one can satisfy all the demigods, but by worshiping all the demigods one does not completely worship the Supreme Lord. Therefore worship of the demigods is irregular, and it is disrespectful to the scriptural injunctions.",

"In this age of Kali it is practically impossible to perform the <i>deva-yajña</i> or sacrifices to the demigods. As such, in this age <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> recommends <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña.</i> <i>Yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ</i>. (<i>Bhāg.</i> 11.5.32) \"In this age the intelligent person completes the performances of all kinds of <i>yajñas</i> simply by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare.\" <i>Tasmin tuṣṭe jagat-tuṣṭaḥ:</i> \"When Lord Viṣṇu is satisfied, all the demigods who are parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord are satisfied.\""
