"Because the Yamadūtas had been unsuccessful in carrying out the order of Yamarāja, they doubted whether Yamarāja actually had the power to punish the sinful. Although they had gone to arrest Ajāmila, following Yamarāja's order, they found themselves unsuccessful because of the order of some higher authority. Therefore they were unsure of whether there were many authorities or only one. If there were many authorities who gave different judgments, which could be contradictory, a person might be wrongly punished or wrongly rewarded, or he might be neither punished nor rewarded. According to our experience in the material world, a person punished in one court may appeal to another. Thus the same man may be either punished or rewarded according to different judgments. However, in the law of nature or the court of the Supreme Personality of Godhead there cannot be such contradictory judgments. The judges and their judgments must be perfect and free from contradictions. Actually the position of Yamarāja was very awkward in the case of Ajāmila because the Yamadūtas were right in attempting to arrest Ajāmila, but the Viṣṇudūtas had baffled them. Although Yamarāja, under these circumstances, was accused by both the Viṣṇudūtas and the Yamadūtas, he is perfect in administering justice because he is empowered by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore he will explain what his real position is and how everyone is controlled by the supreme controller, the Personality of Godhead."

Yamarāja has to deal with men who are all sinful and who can hardly understand Nārāyaṇa. Consequently when his order carriers uttered the name of Nārāyaṇa, he was extremely pleased, for he also is a Vaiṣṇava."

Above me, and above all the other demigods, including Indra and Candra, is the one supreme master and controller. The partial manifestations of His personality are Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Śiva, who are in charge of the creation, maintenance and annihilation of this universe.

"The order carriers of Yamarāja suspected that there was a ruler even above Yamarāja. To eradicate their doubts, Yamarāja immediately replied, \"Yes, there is one supreme controller above everything.\" Yamarāja is in charge of some of the moving living entities, namely the human beings, but the animals, who also move, are not under his control. Only human beings have consciousness of right and wrong, and among them only those who perform sinful activities come under the control of Yamarāja. Therefore although Yamarāja is a controller, he is only a departmental controller of a few living entities. There are other demigods who control many other departments, but above them all is one supreme controller, Kṛṣṇa. <i>Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ sac-cid-ānanda-vigrahaḥ:</i> the supreme controller is Kṛṣṇa. Others, who control their own departments in the affairs of the universe, are insignificant in comparison to Kṛṣṇa, the supreme controller. Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.7), <i>mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya:</i> \"My dear Dhanañjaya [Arjuna], no one is superior to Me.\" Therefore Yamarāja immediately cleared away the doubts of his assistants, the Yamadūtas, by confirming that there is a supreme controller above all others.",
|

"Śrīla Madhvācārya explains that the words <i>otaṁ protam</i> refer to the cause of all causes. The Supreme Lord is both vertical and horizontal to the cosmic manifestation. This is confirmed by the following verse from the <i>Skanda Purāṇa:</i>",
|
||||
"<i>yathā kanthā-paṭāḥ sūtra<br/> otāḥ protāś ca sa sthitāḥ<br/> evaṁ viṣṇāv idaṁ viśvam<br/> otaṁ protaṁ ca saṁsthitam</i>",

In fear, the members of these orders all worship the Supreme Lord by offering Him presentations according to their respective activities.</b>",

"In this material world, everyone is conditioned, regardless of who he is. One may be a human being, a demigod or an animal, tree or plant, but everything is controlled by the laws of nature, and behind this natural control is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed by <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>9.10</i>), wherein Kṛṣṇa says, <i>mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram:</i> \"The material nature is working under My direction and producing all moving and nonmoving beings.\" Thus Kṛṣṇa is behind the natural machine, which works under His control.",
|

"Apart from other living entities, the living being in the human form of body is systematically controlled by the Vedic injunctions in terms of the divisions of <i>varṇa</i> and <i>āśrama.</i> A human being is expected to follow the rules and regulations of <i>varṇa</i> and <i>āśrama;</i> otherwise he cannot escape punishment by Yamarāja. The point is that every human being is expected to elevate himself to the position of a <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> the most intelligent man, and then one must transcend that position to become a Vaiṣṇava. This is the perfection of life. The <i>brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya</i> and <i>śūdra</i> can elevate themselves by worshiping the Lord according to their activities (<i>sve sve karmaṇy abhirataḥ saṁsiddhiṁ labhate naraḥ</i>). The divisions of <i>varṇa</i> and <i>āśrama</i> are necessary to insure the proper execution of duties and peaceful existence for everyone, but everyone is directed to worship the Supreme Lord, who is all-pervading (<i>yena sarvam idaṁ tatam</i>). The Supreme Lord exists vertically and horizontally (<i>otaṁ protam</i>), and therefore if one follows the Vedic injunctions by worshiping the Supreme Lord according to one's ability, his life will be perfect. As stated in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (1.2.13):",
|
||||
"<i>ataḥ pumbhir dvija-śreṣṭhā<br/> varṇāśrama-vibhāgaśaḥ<br/> svanuṣṭhitasya dharmasya<br/> saṁsiddhir hari-toṣaṇam</i>",
|
||||
"\"O best among the twiceborn, it is therefore concluded that the highest perfection one can achieve, by discharging his prescribed duties <i>[dharma]</i> according to caste divisions and orders of life, is to please the Lord Hari.\" The <i>varṇāśrama</i> institution offers the perfect process for making one eligible to return home, back to Godhead, because the aim of every <i>varṇa</i> and <i>āśrama</i> is to please the Supreme Lord. One can please the Lord under the direction of a bona fide spiritual master, and if one does so his life is perfect. The Supreme Lord is worshipable, and everyone worships Him directly or indirectly. Those who worship Him directly get the results of liberation quickly, whereas the liberation of those who serve Him indirectly is delayed.",
|
||||
"The words <i>nāmabhir vāci</i> are very important. In the <i>varṇāśrama</i> institution, there are different names—<i>brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra, brahmacārī, gṛhastha, vānaprastha</i> and <i>sannyāsī.</i> The <i>vāk,</i> or Vedic injunctions, give directions for all these divisions. Everyone is expected to offer obeisances to the Supreme Lord and perform duties as indicated in the <i>Vedas.</i>"

For the living entities controlled by the base qualities of nature, passion and ignorance, there is no possibility of understanding God.

Therefore the Lord personally says that no one can understand Him but the <i>bhaktas,</i> who are transcendental to all material qualities (<i>bhaktyā mām abhijānāti</i>).

Similarly, every living being acts according to the direction of the Supersoul, who is situated within the heart. As the Lord Himself confirms in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.15), <i>sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca:</i> \"I am sitting in everyone's heart and giving directions for remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness.\" Elsewhere in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> it is stated, <i>īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati:</i> \"The Supreme Lord, as the Supersoul, is situated within the heart.\" The living entity cannot do anything without the sanction of the Supersoul. The Supersoul is acting at every moment, but the living entity cannot understand the form and activities of the Supersoul by manipulating his senses. The example of the eyes and the bodily limbs is very appropriate. If the limbs could see, they could walk forward without the help of the eyes, but that is impossible. Although one cannot see the Supersoul in one's heart through sensual activities, His direction is necessary."

"When challenged by the Viṣṇudūtas to describe the principles of religion, the Yamadūtas said, <i>veda-praṇihito dharmaḥ:</i> the religious principles are the principles enacted in the Vedic literature. They did not know, however, that the Vedic literature contains ritualistic ceremonies that are not transcendental, but are meant to keep peace and order among materialistic persons in the material world. Real religious principles are <i>nistraiguṇya,</i> above the three modes of material nature, or transcendental. The Yamadūtas did not know these transcendental religious principles, and therefore when prevented from arresting Ajāmila they were surprised. Materialistic persons who attach all their faith to the Vedic rituals are described in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (2.42), wherein Kṛṣṇa says, <i>veda-vāda-ratāḥ pārtha nānyad astīti vādinaḥ:</i> the supposed followers of the <i>Vedas</i> say that there is nothing beyond the Vedic ceremonies. Indeed, there is a group of men in India who are very fond of the Vedic rituals, not understanding the meaning of these rituals, which are intended to elevate one gradually to the transcendental platform of knowing Kṛṣṇa (<i>vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ</i>). Those who do not know this principle but who simply attach their faith to the Vedic rituals are called <i>veda-vāda-ratāḥ.</i>",
|
||||
"Herein it is stated that the real religious principle is that which is given by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That principle is stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> <i>Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja:</i> one should give up all other duties and surrender unto the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. That is the real religious principle everyone should follow. Even though one follows Vedic scriptures, one may not know this transcendental principle, for it is not known to everyone. To say nothing of human beings, even the demigods in the upper planetary systems are unaware of it. This transcendental religious principle must be understood from the Supreme Personality of Godhead directly or from His special representative, as stated in the next verses."

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> Lord Kṛṣṇa refers to <i>bhāgavata-dharma</i> as the most confidential religious principle (<i>sarva-guhyatamam, guhyād guhyataram</i>). Kṛṣṇa says to Arjuna, \"Because you are My very dear friend, I am explaining to you the most confidential religion.\" <i>Sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja: </i>\"Give up all other duties and surrender unto Me.\" One may ask, \"If this principle is very rarely understood, what is the use of it?\" In answer, Yamarāja states herein that this religious principle is understandable if one follows the <i>paramparā</i> system of Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva, the four Kumāras and the other standard authorities. There are four lines of disciplic succession: one from Lord Brahmā, one from Lord Śiva, one from Lakṣmī, the goddess of fortune, and one from the Kumāras. The disciplic succession from Lord Brahmā is called the Brahma-sampradāya, the succession from Lord Śiva (Śambhu) is called the Rudra-sampradāya, the one from the goddess of fortune, Lakṣmījī, is called the Śrī-sampradāya, and the one from the Kumāras is called the Kumāra-sampradāya. One must take shelter of one of these four <i>sampradāyas</i> in order to understand the most confidential religious system. In the <i>Padma Purāṇa</i> it is said, <i>sampradāya-vihīnā ye mantrās te niṣphalā matāḥ:</i> If one does not follow the four recognized disciplic successions, his <i>mantra</i> or initiation is useless. In the present day there are many <i>apasampradāyas,</i> or <i>sampradāyas</i> which are not bona fide, which have no link to authorities like Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva, the Kumāras or Lakṣmī. People are misguided by such <i>sampradāyas.</i> The <i>śāstras</i> say that being initiated in such a <i>sampradāya</i> is a useless waste of time, for it will never enable one to understand the real religious principles."

The <i>Bhāgavatam</i> says, <i>dharmaḥ projjhita-kaitavo 'tra:</i> in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> there are no cheating religious systems. Everything in the <i>Bhāgavatam</i> is directly connected with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The <i>Bhāgavatam</i> further says, <i>sa vai puṁsāṁ paro dharmo yato bhaktir adhokṣaje:</i> the supreme religion is that which teaches its followers how to love the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is beyond the reach of experimental knowledge. Such a religious system begins with <i>tan-nāma-grahaṇa,</i> chanting of the holy name of the Lord (<i>śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam</i>). After chanting the holy name of the Lord and dancing in ecstasy, one gradually sees the form of the Lord, the pastimes of the Lord and the transcendental qualities of the Lord. This way one fully understands the situation of the Personality of Godhead. One can come to this understanding of the Lord, how He descends into the material world, how He takes His births and what activities He performs, but one can know this only by executing devotional service. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>bhaktyā mām abhijānāti:</i> simply by devotional service one can understand everything about the Supreme Lord. If one fortunately understands the Supreme Lord in this way, the result is <i>tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti:</i> after giving up his material body, he no longer has to take birth in this material world. Instead, he returns home, back to Godhead. That is the ultimate perfection. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (8.15):",

This is the only process recommended for relief from sinful reactions. Even if one chants the holy name of the Lord with improper pronunciation, he will achieve relief from material bondage if he chants without offenses. Ajāmila, for example, was extremely sinful, but while dying he merely chanted the holy name, and although calling his son, he achieved complete liberation because he remembered the name of Nārāyaṇa.</b>",
|

"purport": [
|

"In the assembly of Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī's father, Haridāsa Ṭhākura confirmed that simply by chanting the holy name of the Lord one is liberated, even if he does not chant completely inoffensively. <i>Smārta-brāhmaṇas</i> and Māyāvādīs do not believe that one can achieve liberation in this way, but the truth of Haridāsa Ṭhākura's statement is supported by many quotations from <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i>",
|
||||
"In his commentary on this verse, for example, Śrīdhara Svāmī gives the following quotation:",
|
||||
"<i>sāyaṁ prātar gṛṇan bhaktyā<br/> duḥkha-grāmād vimucyate<br/> </i>[<i>Bhāg.</i> <i>1.3.29</i>]",
|
||||
"\"If one always chants the holy name of the Lord with great devotion in the evening and in the morning, one can become free from all material miseries.\" Another quotation confirms that one can achieve liberation if one hears the holy name of the Lord constantly, every day with great respect (<i>anudinam idam ādareṇa śṛṇvan</i>). Another quotation says:",
|
||||
"<i>śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ dhyānaṁ<br/> harer adbhuta-karmaṇaḥ<br/> janma-karma-guṇānāṁ ca<br/> tad-arthe 'khila-ceṣṭitam</i>",
|
||||
"\"One should always chant and hear about the extraordinarily wonderful activities of the Lord, one should meditate upon these activities, and one should endeavor to please the Lord.\" (<i>Bhāg.</i> 11.3.27)",
|
||||
"Śrīdhara Svāmī also quotes from the <i>Purāṇas, pāpa-kṣayaś ca bhavati smaratāṁ tam ahar-niśam:</i> \"One can become free from all sinful reactions simply by remembering the lotus feet of the Lord day and night [<i>ahar-niśam</i>].\" Furthermore, he quotes from <i>Bhāgavatam</i> (6.3.31):",
|
||||
"<i>tasmāt saṅkīrtanaṁ viṣṇor<br/> jagan-maṅgalam aṁhasām<br/> mahatām api kauravya<br/> viddhy aikāntika-niṣkṛtam</i>",
|
||||
"All these quotations prove that one who constantly engages in chanting and hearing of the holy activities, name, fame and form of the Lord is liberated. As stated wonderfully in this verse, <i>etāvatālam agha-nirharaṇāya puṁsām:</i> simply by uttering the name of the Lord, one is freed from all sinful reactions.",
|
||||
"The word <i>alam,</i> which is used in this verse, indicates that simply uttering the holy name of the Lord is sufficient. This word is used with different imports. As stated in the <i>Amara-kośa,</i> the most authorized dictionary in the Sanskrit language, <i>alaṁ bhūṣaṇa-paryāpti-śakti-vāraṇa-vācakam:</i> the word <i>alam</i> is used to mean \"ornament,\" \"sufficiency,\" \"power\" and \"restraint.\" Here the word <i>alam</i> is used to indicate that there is no need of any other process, for the chanting of the holy name of the Lord is sufficient. Even if one chants imperfectly, one becomes free from all sinful reactions by chanting.",
|
||||
"This power of chanting the holy name was proved by the liberation of Ajāmila. When Ajāmila chanted the holy name of Nārāyaṇa, he did not precisely remember the Supreme Lord; instead, he remembered his own son. At the time of death, Ajāmila certainly was not very clean; indeed, he was famous as a great sinner. Furthermore, one's physiological condition is completely disturbed at the time of death, and in such an awkward condition it would certainly have been very difficult for Ajāmila to have chanted clearly. Nevertheless, Ajāmila achieved liberation simply by chanting the holy name of the Lord. Therefore, what is to be said of those who are not sinful as Ajāmila? It is to be concluded that with a strong vow one should chant the holy name of the Lord—Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare—for thus one will certainly be delivered from the clutches of <i>māyā</i> by the grace of Kṛṣṇa.",
|
||||
"The chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra</i> is recommended even for persons who commit offenses, because if they continue chanting they will gradually chant offenselessly. By chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra</i> without offenses, one increases his love for Kṛṣṇa. As stated by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, <i>premā pum-artho mahān:</i> one's main concern should be to increase one's attachment to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and to increase one's love for Him.",
|
||||
"In this regard Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura quotes the following verse from <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (<b>11.19.24):</b>",
|
||||
"<i>evaṁ dharmair manuṣyāṇām<br/> uddhavātmani vedinām<br/> mayi sañjāyate bhaktiḥ<br/> ko 'nyo 'rtho 'syāvaśiṣyate</i>",
|
||||
"\"My dear Uddhava, the supreme religious system for human society is that by which one can awaken his dormant love for Me.\" Commenting on this verse, Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura describes the word <i>bhakti</i> by saying <i>premaivoktaḥ.</i> <i>Ko anyaḥ arthaḥ asya:</i> in the presence of <i>bhakti,</i> what is the necessity of liberation?",
|
||||
"Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura also quotes this verse from the <i>Padma </i><b><i>Purāṇa:</i></b>",
|
||||
"<i>nāmāparādha-yuktānāṁ<br/> nāmāny eva haranty agham<br/> aviśrānti-prayuktāni<br/> tāny evārtha-karāṇi ca</i>",
|
||||
"Even if in the beginning one chants the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra</i> with offenses, one will become free from such offenses by chanting again and again. <i>Pāpa-kṣayaś ca bhavati smaratāṁ tam ahar-niśam:</i> one becomes free from all sinful reactions if one chants day and night, following the recommendation of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. It was Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu who quoted the following verse [<i>Ādi</i> 17.21]:",
|
||||
"<i>harer nāma harer nāma<br/> harer nāmaiva kevalam<br/> kalau nāsty eva nāsty eva<br/> nāsty eva gatir anyathā</i>",
|
||||
"\"In this age of quarrel and hypocrisy the only means of deliverance is chanting the holy name of the Lord. There is no other way. There is no other way. There is no other way.\" If the members of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement strictly follow this recommendation of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, their position will always be secure."

They cannot understand the transcendental value of performing devotional service or chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra. Because their minds are attracted to the ritualistic ceremonies mentioned in the Vedas—especially the Yajur Veda, Sāma Veda and Ṛg Veda—their intelligence has become dull. Thus they are busy collecting the ingredients for ritualistic ceremonies that yield only temporary benefits, such as elevation to Svargaloka for material happiness.

"purport": [

"Since one may easily achieve the highest success by chanting the holy name of the Lord, one may ask why there are so many Vedic ritualistic ceremonies and why people are attracted to them. This verse answers that question. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.15), <i>vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyaḥ:</i> the real purpose of studying the <i>Vedas</i> is to approach the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa. Unfortunately, unintelligent people bewildered by the grandeur of Vedic <i>yajñas</i> want to see gorgeous sacrifices performed. They want Vedic <i>mantras</i> chanted and huge amounts of money spent for such ceremonies. Sometimes we have to observe the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies to please such unintelligent men. Recently, when we established a large Kṛṣṇa-Balarāma temple in Vṛndāvana, we were obliged to have Vedic ceremonies enacted by <i>brāhmaṇas</i> because the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana, especially the <i>smārta-brāhmaṇas,</i> would not accept Europeans and Americans as bona fide <i>brāhmaṇas.</i> Thus we had to engage <i>brāhmaṇas</i> to perform costly <i>yajñas.</i> In spite of these <i>yajñas,</i> the members of our Society performed <i>saṅkīrtana</i> loudly with <i>mṛdaṅgas,</i> and I considered the <i>saṅkīrtana</i> more important than the Vedic ritualistic ceremonies. Both the ceremonies and the <i>saṅkīrtana</i> were going on simultaneously. The ceremonies were meant for persons interested in Vedic rituals for elevation to heavenly planets (<i>jaḍī-kṛta-matir madhu-puṣpitāyām</i>), whereas the <i>saṅkīrtana</i> was meant for pure devotees interested in pleasing the Supreme Personality of Godhead. We would simply have performed <i>saṅkīrtana,</i> but then the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana would not have taken the installation ceremony seriously. As explained here, the Vedic performances are meant for those whose intelligence has been dulled by the flowery language of the <i>Vedas,</i> which describe fruitive activities intended to elevate one to the higher planets.",
|
||||
"Especially in this age of Kali, <i>saṅkīrtana</i> alone is sufficient. If the members of our temples in the different parts of the world simply continue <i>saṅkīrtana</i> before the Deity, especially before Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, they will remain perfect. There is no need of any other performances. Nevertheless, to keep oneself clean in habits and mind, Deity worship and other regulative principles are required. Śrīla Jīva Gosvāmī says that although <i>saṅkīrtana</i> is sufficient for the perfection of life, the <i>arcanā,</i> or worship of the Deity in the temple, must continue in order that the devotees may stay clean and pure. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura therefore recommended that one follow both processes simultaneously. We strictly follow his principle of performing Deity worship and <i>saṅkīrtana</i> along parallel lines. This we should continue."

"In this regard Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura quotes the following verse from the prayers of Lord Brahmā (<i>Bhāg.</i> 10.14.29):",
|
||||
"<i>athāpi te deva padāmbuja-dvaya-<br/> prasāda-leśānugṛhīta eva hi<br/> jānāti tattvaṁ bhagavan-mahimno<br/> na cānya eko 'pi ciraṁ vicinvan</i>",
|

"The purport is that even though one is a very learned scholar of the Vedic <i>śāstras,</i> he may be completely unaware of the existence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His name, fame, qualities and so forth, whereas one who is not a great scholar can understand the position of the Supreme Personality of Godhead if he somehow or other becomes a pure devotee of the Lord by engaging in devotional service. Therefore this verse spoken by Yamarāja says, <i>evaṁ vimṛśya sudhiyo bhagavati:</i> those who engage in the loving service of the Lord become <i>sudhiyaḥ,</i> intelligent, but this is not so of a Vedic scholar who does not understand Kṛṣṇa's name, fame and qualities. A pure devotee is one whose intelligence is clear; he is truly thoughtful because he engages in the service of the Lord—not as a matter of show, but with love, with his mind, words and body. Nondevotees may make a show of religion, but it is not very effective because although they ostentatiously attend a temple or church, they are thinking of something else. Such persons are neglecting their religious duty and are punishable by Yamarāja. But a devotee who commits sinful acts, which he may do unwillingly or accidentally because of his former habits, is excused. That is the value of the <i>saṅkīrtana</i> movement."

As stated in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, yan maithunādi-gṛhamedhi-sukhaṁ hi tuccham:</i> people are attached to household life for sex only. They are always harassed in many ways by their material engagements, and their only happiness is that after working very hard all day, at night they sleep and indulge in sex. <i>Nidrayā hriyate naktaṁ vyavāyena ca vā vayaḥ:</i> at night, materialistic householders sleep or indulge in sex life. <i>Divā cārthehayā rajan kuṭumba-bharaṇena vā:</i> during the day they are busy trying to find out where money is, and if they get money they spend it to maintain their families. Yamarāja specifically advises his servants to bring these persons to him for punishment and not to bring the devotees, who always lick the honey at the lotus feet of the Lord, who are equal to everyone, and who try to preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness because of sympathy for all living entities. Devotees are not liable to punishment by Yamarāja, but persons who have no information of Kṛṣṇa consciousness cannot be protected by their material life of so-called family enjoyment. <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> says (2.1.4):",

Therefore Yamarāja advises the Yamadūtas to bring him those persons who have forgotten their duties toward Viṣṇu (<i>akṛta-viṣṇu-kṛtyān</i>). One who does not chant the holy name of Viṣṇu (Kṛṣṇa), who does not bow down to the Deity of Viṣṇu, and who does not remember the lotus feet of Viṣṇu is punishable by Yamarāja. In summary, all <i>avaiṣṇavas,</i> persons unconcerned with Lord Viṣṇu, are punishable by Yamarāja."

The <i>nyāya-śāstra</i> confirms, <i>bhṛtyāparādhe svāmino daṇḍaḥ:</i> if a servant makes a mistake, the master is punishable because he is responsible for the offense.
