"Lord Brahmā explained to the demigods that although Dakṣa wanted to enjoy the results of fruitive sacrificial activities, it is not possible to enjoy when one offends a great personality like Lord Śiva. It was good for Dakṣa to have died in the fight because if he had lived he would have committed such offenses at the lotus feet of great personalities again and again. According to Manu's law, when a person commits murder, punishment is beneficial for him because if he is not killed he might commit more and more murders and therefore be entangled in his future lives for having killed so many persons. Therefore the king's punishment of a murderer is appropriate. If those who are extremely offensive are killed by the grace of the Lord, that is good for them. In other words, Lord Brahmā explained to the demigods that it was good for Dakṣa to have been killed."

Therefore the region of Alakā referred to here is different from the Alakā purī of Kuvera. According to Vīrarāghava Ācārya, <i>alakā</i> means \"uncommonly beautiful.\" In the region of Alakā the demigods saw, there is a type of lotus flower known as Saugandhika that distributes an especially fragrant scent."

"purport": [
"It is understood that even the damsels of the heavenly planets are polluted by thoughts of sex enjoyment, and therefore they come in airplanes to bathe in the rivers Nandā and Alakanandā. It is significant that these rivers, Nandā and Alakanandā, are sanctified by the dust of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In other words, just as the Ganges is sacred because its water emanates from the toes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nārāyaṇa, so whenever water or anything is in touch with devotional service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, it is purified and spiritualized. The rules and regulations of devotional service are based on this principle: anything in touch with the lotus feet of the Lord is immediately freed from all material contamination. The damsels of the heavenly planets, polluted by thoughts of sex life, come down to bathe in the sanctified rivers and enjoy sprinkling water on their husbands.",
"Two words are very significant in this connection. <i>Rati-karśita</i> means that the damsels become morose after sex enjoyment. Although they accept sex enjoyment as a bodily demand, afterwards they are not happy. Another significant point in this connection is that Lord Govinda, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is described here as <i>tīrtha-pāda</i>. <i>Tīrtha</i> means \"sanctified place,\" and <i>pāda</i> means \"the lotus feet of the Lord.\" People go to a sanctified place to free themselves from all sinful reactions. In other words, those who are devoted to the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, automatically become sanctified. The Lord's lotus feet are called <i>tīrtha-pāda</i> because under their protection there are hundreds and thousands of saintly persons who sanctify the sacred places of pilgrimage. Śrīla Narottamadāsa Ṭhākur, a great <i>ācārya</i> of the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava Sampradāya, advises us not to travel to different places of pilgrimage. Undoubtedly, it is troublesome to go from one place to another, but one who is intelligent can take shelter of the lotus feet of Govinda and thereby be automatically sanctified as the result of his pilgrimage. Anyone who is fixed in the service of the lotus feet of Govinda is called <i>tīrtha-pāda;</i> he does not need to travel on various pilgrimages, for he can enjoy all the benefits of such travel simply by engaging in the service of the lotus feet of the Lord. Such a pure devotee who has implicit faith in the lotus feet of the Lord can create sacred places in any part of the world where he decides to remain. <i>Tīrthīkurvanti tīrthāni</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 1.13.10). The places are sanctified due to the presence of pure devotees; any place automatically becomes a place of pilgrimage if either the Lord or His pure devotee remains or resides there. In other words, such a pure devotee, who is engaged one hundred percent in the service of the Lord, can remain anywhere in the universe, and that part of the universe immediately becomes a sacred place where he can peacefully render service to the Lord as the Lord desires."

On this gross planet earth, there are airplanes run by machine, but on other planets the airplanes are run not by machine but by mantric hymns. They are also used especially for enjoyment by the denizens of the heavenly planets so that they can go from one planet to another. On other planets which are called Siddhalokas the denizens can travel from one planet to another without airplanes. The beautiful airplanes from the heavenly planets are compared here to the sky because they fly in the sky; the passengers are compared to the clouds. The beautiful damsels, the wives of the denizens of the heavenly planets, are compared to lightning. In summation, the airplanes with their passengers which came from higher planets to Kailāsa were very pleasant to look at."

The women there are hundreds and thousands of times more beautiful than the women here in this material world, and the spiritual atmosphere is also many times better. Yet despite the pleasant atmosphere, the minds of the denizens do not become agitated because in the spiritual world, the Vaikuṇṭha planets, the spiritualistic minds of the inhabitants are so much absorbed in the spiritual vibration of chanting the glories of the Lord that such enjoyment could not be surpassed by any other enjoyment, even sex, which is the culmination of all pleasure in the material world. In other words, in the Vaikuṇṭha world, in spite of its better atmosphere and facilities, there is no impetus for sex life. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (Bg. 2.59), <i>paraṁ dṛṣṭvā nivartate:</i> the inhabitants are so spiritually enlightened that in the presence of such spirituality, sex life is insignificant."

Meditation means remembering, <i>smaraṇam.</i> There are nine different kinds of devotional service, of which <i>smaraṇam</i> is one process; the <i>yogī</i> remembers the form of Viṣṇu within his heart. Thus there were many devotees engaged in meditation on Lord Viṣṇu under the big banyan tree.",
"The Sanskrit word <i>mahā</i> is derived from the affix <i>mahat.</i> This affix is used when there is a great number or quantity, so <i>mahā-yoga</i> indicates that there were many great <i>yogīs</i> and devotees meditating on the form of Lord Viṣṇu. Generally such meditators are desirous of liberation from material bondage, and they are promoted to the spiritual world to one of the Vaikuṇṭhas. Liberation means freedom from material bondage or nescience. In the material world we are suffering life after life because of our bodily identification, and liberation is freedom from that miserable condition of life."

"The personalities sitting with Lord Śiva are significant because the four Kumāras were liberated from birth. It may be remembered that after their birth these Kumāras were requested by their father to get married and beget children in order to increase the population of the newly created universe. But they refused, and at that time, Lord Brahmā was angry. In that angry mood, Rudra, or Lord Śiva, was born. Thus they were intimately related. Kuvera, the treasurer of the demigods, is fabulously rich. Thus Lord Śiva's association with the Kumāras and Kuvera indicates that he has all transcendental and material opulences. Actually, he is the qualitative incarnation of the Supreme Lord; therefore his position is very exalted."

Lord Śiva is the emblem of such perfection, and therefore in the scriptures it is said, <i>vaiṣṇavānāṁ yathā śambhuḥ:</i> Lord Śiva is a Vaiṣṇava. Lord Śiva, by his action within this material world, teaches all conditioned souls how to engage in devotional service twenty-four hours a day.

"In this verse the word <i>brahmānanda</i> is significant. This <i>brahmānanda,</i> or <i>brahma-nirvāṇa,</i> is explained by Prahlāda Mahārāja. When one is completely absorbed in the <i>adhokṣaja,</i> the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is beyond the sense perception of materialistic persons, this is called <i>brahmānanda.</i>",
"It is impossible to conceive of the existence, name, form, quality and pastimes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead because He is transcendentally situated beyond the conception of materialistic persons. Because materialists cannot imagine or conceive of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, they may think that God is dead, but factually He is always existing in His <i>sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha,</i> His eternal form. Constant meditation concentrated on the form of the Lord is called <i>samādhi,</i> ecstasy or trance. <i>Samādhi</i> means particularly concentrated attention, so one who has achieved the qualification of always meditating on the Personality of Godhead is to be understood to be always in trance and enjoying <i>brahma-nirvāṇa</i> or <i>brahmānanda.</i> Lord Śiva exhibited those symptoms, and therefore it is stated that he was absorbed in <i>brahmānanda.</i>",
"Another significant word is <i>yogakakṣām.</i> <i>Yogakakṣām</i> is the sitting posture in which the left thigh is fixed under one's tightly knotted saffron-colored garment. Also the words <i>manūnām ādyam</i> are significant here because they mean a philosopher or one who is thoughtful and can think very nicely. Such a man is called <i>manu.</i> Lord Śiva is described in this verse as the chief of all thinkers. Lord Śiva, of course, does not engage in useless mental speculation, but as stated in the previous verse, he is always thoughtful regarding how to deliver the demons from their fallen condition of life. It is said that during the advent of Lord Caitanya, Sadā-Śiva appeared as Advaita Prabhu, and Advaita Prabhu's chief concern was to elevate the fallen conditioned souls to the platform of devotional service to Lord Kṛṣṇa. Since people were engaged in useless occupations which would continue their material existence, Lord Śiva, in the form of Lord Advaita, appealed to the Supreme Lord to appear as Lord Caitanya to deliver these illusioned souls. Actually Lord Caitanya appeared on the request of Lord Advaita. Similarly, Lord Śiva has a <i>sampradāya,</i> the Rudra-sampradāya. He is always thinking about the deliverance of the fallen souls, as exhibited by Lord Advaita Prabhu."

Similarly, when Lord Kṛṣṇa was a child He used to offer His respectful obeisances to His mother and father, Nanda and Yaśodā. Also at the Battle of Kurukṣetra, Lord Kṛṣṇa touched the feet of Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira because he was His elder.

"In this verse the word <i>śiva-śakti</i> is significant. <i>Śiva</i> means auspicious, and <i>śakti</i> means energy. There are many types of energies of the Supreme Lord, and all of them are auspicious. Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara are called <i>guṇāvatāras</i> or incarnations of material qualities. In the material world we compare these different incarnations from different angles of vision, but since all of them are expansions of the supreme auspicious, all of them are auspicious, although sometimes we consider one quality of nature to be higher or lower than another. The mode of ignorance or <i>tamoguṇa</i> is considered very much lower than the others, but in the higher sense it is also auspicious. The example may be given herein that the government has both an educational department and criminal department. An outsider may consider the criminal department inauspicious, but from the government's point of view it is as important as the education department, and therefore the government finances both departments equally, without discrimination."

"The Supreme Personality of Godhead is called the supreme will. By the supreme will everything is happening. It is said, therefore, that not a blade of grass moves without the supreme will. Generally it is prescribed that performers of pious activities are promoted to the higher planetary systems, devotees are promoted to the Vaikuṇṭhas or spiritual worlds, and impersonal speculators are promoted to the impersonal Brahman effulgence; but it sometimes so happens that a miscreant like Ajāmila is immediately promoted to the Vaikuṇṭha-loka simply by chanting the name of Nārāyaṇa. Although when Ajāmila uttered this vibration he intended to call his son Nārāyaṇa, Lord Nārāyaṇa took it seriously and immediately gave him promotion to Vaikuṇṭha-loka, despite his background, which was full of sinful activities. Similarly King Dakṣa was always engaged in the pious activities of performing sacrifices, yet simply because of creating a little misunderstanding with Lord Śiva, he was severely taken to task. The conclusion is, therefore, that the supreme will is the ultimate judgment; no one can argue upon this. A pure devotee therefore submits in all circumstances to the supreme will of the Lord, accepting it as all-auspicious.",

"The purport of this verse is that when a devotee is in a calamitous condition he takes it as a benediction of the Supreme Lord and takes responsibility for himself for his past misdeeds. In such a condition, he offers still more devotional services and is not disturbed. One who lives in such a disposition of mind, engaged in devotional service, is the most eligible candidate for promotion to the spiritual world. In other words, such a devotee's claim for promotion to the spiritual world is assured in all circumstances."

A Vaiṣṇava is described as <i>para-duḥkha-duḥkhī</i> because although he is never distressed in any condition of life, he is distressed to see others in a distressed condition. Vaiṣṇavas, therefore, should not try to kill by any action of the body or mind but should try to revive the Kṛṣṇa consciousness of others out of compassion for them. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement has been started to deliver the envious persons of the world from the clutches of <i>māyā,</i> and even though they are sometimes put into trouble, devotees push on the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement in all tolerance.

Parīkṣit Mahārāja was the emperor and was full in power both spiritually and materially, but out of compassion and out of respect for the <i>brāhmaṇa</i> community, he did not counteract the action of the <i>brāhmaṇa</i> boy but agreed to die within seven days. Because it was desired by Kṛṣṇa that Parīkṣit Mahārāja agree to the punishment so that the instruction of <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> would thus be revealed to the world, Parīkṣit Mahārāja was advised not to take action. A Vaiṣṇava is personally tolerant for the benefit of others.

"\"My divine energy consisting of the three modes of material nature is difficult to overcome. But those who have surrendered unto Me can easily cross beyond it.\" (Bg. 7.14) A Vaiṣṇava should take care of those who are bewildered by this <i>māyā</i> instead of becoming angry with them because without a Vaiṣṇava's mercy they have no way to get out of the clutches of <i>māyā.</i> Those who have been condemned by <i>māyā</i> are rescued by the mercy of devotees.",

They are just like desire trees who can fulfill the desires of everyone, and they are full of compassion for the fallen conditioned souls.\" Those who are under the influence of the illusory energy are attracted to fruitive activities, but a Vaiṣṇava preacher attracts their hearts to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa."

"A sacrifice is a ceremony performed to please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In the <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,</i> First Canto, Second Chapter, it is stated that everyone should try to understand whether the Supreme Personality of Godhead is satisfied by his activity. In other words, the aim of our activities should be to satisfy the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Just as in an office it is the duty of the worker to see that the proprietor or the master is satisfied, so everyone's duty is to see whether the Supreme Personality of Godhead is satisfied by one's activity. Activities to satisfy the Supreme Godhead are prescribed in the Vedic literature, and execution of such activities is called <i>yajña.</i> In other words, acting on behalf of the Supreme Lord is called <i>yajña.</i> One should know very well that any activity besides <i>yajña</i> is the cause of material bondage. That is explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā, </i>Third Chapter, <b><i>ninth</i></b> verse:<i> yajñārthāt karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ.</i> <i>Karma-bandhanaḥ</i> means that if we do not work for the satisfaction of the Supreme Lord, Viṣṇu, then the reaction of our work will bind us. One should not work for his own sense gratification. Everyone should work for the satisfaction of God. That is called <i>yajña.</i>",
"After the <i>yajña</i> was performed by Dakṣa, all the demigods expected <i>prasādam,</i> the remnants of foodstuffs offered to Viṣṇu. Lord Śiva is one of the demigods, so naturally he also expected his share of the <i>prasādam</i> from the <i>yajña.</i> But Dakṣa, out of his envy for Lord Śiva, did not invite Śiva to participate in the <i>yajña,</i> nor did he give him his share after the offering. But after the destruction of the <i>yajña</i> arena by the followers of Lord Śiva, Lord Brahmā pacified him and assured him that he would get his share of <i>prasādam.</i> Thus he was requested to rectify whatever destruction was caused by his followers.",
"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> Third Chapter, eleventh verse, it is said that all the demigods are satisfied when one performs <i>yajña</i>. Because the demigods expect <i>prasādam</i> from <i>yajñas, yajña</i> must be performed. Those who engage in sense gratificatory materialistic activities must perform <i>yajña,</i> otherwise they will be implicated. Thus Dakṣa, being the father of mankind, was performing <i>yajña,</i> and Lord Śiva expected his share. But since he was not invited, there was trouble. By the mediation of Lord Brahmā, however, everything was settled satisfactorily.",
"The performance of <i>yajña</i> is a very difficult task because all the demigods must be invited to participate in the <i>yajña.</i> In this Kali-yuga it is not possible to perform such costly sacrifices, nor is it possible to invite the demigods to participate. Therefore in this age it is recommended, <i>yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 11.5.32). Those who are intelligent should know that in the Kali-yuga there is no possibility of performing the Vedic sacrifices. But unless one pleases the demigods, there will be no regulated seasonal activities or rainfall. Everything is controlled by the demigods. Under the circumstances, in this age, in order to keep the balance of social peace and prosperity, all intelligent men should execute the performance of <i>saṅkīrtana-yajña</i> by chanting the holy names Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. One should invite people, chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and then distribute <i>prasādam.</i> This <i>yajña</i> will satisfy all the demigods, and thus there will be peace and prosperity in the world. Another difficulty in performing the Vedic rituals is that if one fails to satisfy even one demigod out of the many hundreds of thousands of demigods, just as Dakṣa failed to satisfy Lord Śiva, there will be disaster. But in this age the performance of sacrifice has been simplified. One can chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, and by pleasing Kṛṣṇa one can satisfy all the demigods automatically."
