"The Supreme Personality of Godhead has different varieties of incarnations, including the <i>guṇa-avatāras, manvantara-avatāras, līlā-avatāras</i> and <i>yuga-avatāras,</i> all of which are described in the <i>śāstras.</i> Without reference to the <i>śāstras</i> there can be no question of accepting anyone as an incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, as especially mentioned here, <i>gṛṇanti kavayaḥ:</i> the descriptions of various incarnations are accepted by great learned scholars with perfect intelligence. At the present time, especially in India, so many rascals are claiming to be incarnations, and people are being misled. Therefore, the identity of an incarnation should be confirmed by the descriptions of the <i>śāstras</i> and by wonderful activities. As described in this verse by the word <i>mahīyasaḥ,</i> the activities of an incarnation are not ordinary magic or jugglery, but are wonderful activities. Thus any incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead must be supported by the statements of the <i>śāstra</i> and must actually perform wonderful activities. Parīkṣit Mahārāja was eager to hear about the Manus of different ages. There are fourteen Manus during a day of Brahmā, and the age of each Manu lasts for seventy-one <i>yugas.</i> Thus there are thousands of Manus during the life of Brahmā."

The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the creator of everything, and although the living entities are not created but exist with the Lord eternally, their bodies are created, whereas the Supreme Lord's body is never created. There is no difference between the Supreme Lord and His body, but the conditioned soul, although eternal, is different from his body."

"As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.2), <i>evaṁ paramparā-prāptam imaṁ rājarṣayo viduḥ:</i> \"The supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way.\" All the Manus were perfect kings. They were <i>rājarṣis.</i> In other words, although they held posts as kings of the world, they were as good as great saints. Svāyambhuva Manu, for example, was the emperor of the world, yet he had no desire for sense gratification. This is the meaning of monarchy. The king of the country or the emperor of the empire must be so trained that by nature he renounces sense gratification. It is not that because one becomes king he should unnecessarily spend money for sense gratification. As soon as kings became degraded, spending money for sense gratification, they were lost. Similarly, at the present moment, monarchy having been lost, the people have created democracy, which is also failing. Now, by the laws of nature, the time is coming when dictatorship will put the citizens into more and more difficulty. If the king or dictator individually, or the members of the government collectively, cannot maintain the state or kingdom according to the rules of <i>Manu-saṁhitā,</i> certainly their government will not endure."

The difference between the Supreme Being and the ordinary living being is that when this material world is annihilated, all the living entities remain silent in oblivion, in a dreaming or unconscious condition, whereas the Supreme Being stays awake as the witness of everything. This material world is created, it stays for some time, and then it is annihilated. Throughout these changes, however, the Supreme Being remains awake. In the material condition of all living entities, there are three stages of dreaming. When the material world is awake and put in working order, this is a kind of dream, a waking dream. When the living entities go to sleep, they dream again. And when unconscious at the time of annihilation, when this material world is unmanifested, they enter another stage of dreaming. At any stage in the material world, therefore, they are all dreaming. In the spiritual world, however, everything is awake."

Manu's instructions are not only for his own sons and grandsons, but for all of human society. The word \"man\"—or, in Sanskrit, <i>manuṣya</i>—has been derived from the name Manu, for all the members of human society are descendants of the original Manu. Manu is also mentioned in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.1), where the Lord says:",

Vaivasvata Manu was born of the sun-god, Vivasvān, and his son was Ikṣvāku, the King of the earth. Since Manu is understood to be the original father of humanity, human society should follow his instructions.",

"Svāyambhuva Manu instructs that whatever exists, not only in the spiritual world but even within this material world, is the property of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is present everywhere as the Superconsciousness. As confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (13.3), <i>kṣetra-jñam</i> <i>cāpi māṁ viddhi sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata:</i> in every field—in other words, in every body—the Supreme Lord is existing as the Supersoul. The individual soul is given a body in which to live and act according to the instructions of the Supreme Person, and therefore the Supreme Person also exists within every body. We should not think that we are independent; rather, we should understand that we are allotted a certain portion of the total property of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.",

The modern communistic theory, and also the idea of the United Nations, can be reformed—indeed, rectified—by the understanding that everything belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord is not a creation of our intelligence; rather, He has created us. <i>Ātmāvāsyam idaṁ viśvam.</i> <i>Īśāvāsyam idaṁ sarvam.</i> This universal communism can solve all the problems of the world.",
|

"One should learn from the Vedic literature that one's body is also not the property of the individual soul, but is given to the individual soul according to his <i>karma.</i> <i>Karmaṇā daiva-netreṇa jantur dehopapattaye.</i> The 8,400,000 different bodily forms are machines given to the individual soul. This is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>18.61</i>):",

The Lord is so merciful that He gives the living entity the opportunity to enjoy varieties of desires in suitable bodies, which are nothing but machines (<i>yantrārūḍhāni māyayā</i>). These machines are manufactured by the material ingredients of the external energy, and thus the living entity enjoys or suffers according to his desires. This opportunity is given by the Supersoul.",

"Everything belongs to the Supreme, and therefore one should not usurp another's property. We have a tendency to manufacture many things. Especially nowadays, we are building skyscrapers and developing other material facilities. We should know, however, that the ingredients of the skyscrapers and machines cannot be manufactured by anyone but the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The whole world is nothing but a combination of the five material elements (<i>tejo-vāri-mṛdāṁ yathā vinimayaḥ</i>). A skyscraper is a transformation of earth, water and fire. Earth and water are combined and burnt into bricks by fire, and a skyscraper is essentially a tall construction of bricks. Although the bricks may be manufactured by man, the ingredients of the bricks are not. Of course, man, as a manufacturer, may accept a salary from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is stated here: <i>tena tyaktena bhuñjīthāḥ.</i> One may construct a big skyscraper, but neither the constructor, the merchant nor the worker can claim proprietorship. Proprietorship belongs to the person who has spent for the building. The Supreme Personality of Godhead has manufactured water, earth, air, fire and the sky, and one can use these and take a salary (<i>tena tyaktena bhuñjīthāḥ</i>). However, one cannot claim proprietorship. This is perfect communism. Our tendency to construct great buildings should be used only for constructing large and valuable temples in which to install the Deity of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Then our desire for construction will be fulfilled.",
|
||||
"Since all property belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, everything should be offered to the Lord, and we should take only <i>prasāda</i> (<i>tena tyaktena bhuñjīthāḥ</i>). We should not fight among ourselves to take more than we need. As Nārada said to Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira:",
|
||||
"<i>yāvad bhriyeta jaṭharaṁ<br/> tāvat svatvaṁ hi dehinām<br/> adhikaṁ yo 'bhimanyeta<br/> sa steno daṇḍam arhati</i>",
|
||||
"\"One may claim proprietorship to as much wealth as required to maintain body and soul together, but one who desires proprietorship over more than that must be considered a thief, and he deserves to be punished by the laws of nature.\" (<i>Bhāg.</i> 7.14.8) Of course, we need to be maintained in eating, sleeping, mating and defending (<i>āhāra-nidra-bhaya-maithuna</i>), but since the Supreme Lord, the Personality of Godhead, has provided these necessities of life for the birds and bees, why not for mankind? There is no need for economic development; everything is provided. Therefore one should understand that everything belongs to Kṛṣṇa, and with this idea, one may take <i>prasāda.</i> However, if one interferes with the allotments of others, he is a thief. We should not accept more than what we actually need. Therefore, if by chance we get an abundance of money, we should always consider that it belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. In Kṛṣṇa consciousness we are getting sufficient money, but we should never think that the money belongs to us; it belongs to the Supreme Personality of Godhead and should be equally distributed to the workers, the devotees. No devotee should claim that any money or property belongs to him. If one thinks that any portion of property of this huge universe belongs to anyone, he is to be considered a thief and is punishable by the laws of nature. <i>Daivī hy eṣā guṇamayī mama māyā duratyayā: </i>no one can surpass the vigilance of material nature or hide his intentions from material nature. If human society unlawfully claims that the property of the universe, either partially or wholly, belongs to mankind, all of human society will be cursed as a society of thieves and will be punished by the laws of nature."

"Offering prayers to Kṛṣṇa, Śrīmatī Kuntīdevī, the mother of the Pāṇḍavas, said, <i>alakṣyaṁ sarva-bhūtānām antar bahir avasthitam</i>:<i> </i>\"Kṛṣṇa, You reside both inside and outside of everything, yet the unintelligent conditioned souls cannot see You.\" In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> it is said that one can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead through <i>jñāna-cakṣuṣaḥ,</i> eyes of knowledge. He who opens these eyes of knowledge is called a spiritual master. Thus we offer our prayers to the spiritual master with the following <i>śloka:</i>",
|
||||
"<i>om ajñāna-timirāndhasya<br/> jñānāñjana-śalākayā<br/> cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena<br/> tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ</i>",
|
||||
"\"I offer my respectful obeisances unto my spiritual master, who with the torchlight of knowledge has opened my eyes, which were blinded by the darkness of ignorance.\" (<i>Gautamīya Tantra</i>) The <i>guru's</i> task is to open the disciple's eyes of knowledge. When the disciple is awakened from ignorance to knowledge, he can see the Supreme Personality of Godhead everywhere because the Lord actually is everywhere. <i>Aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-stham.</i> The Lord resides within this universe, He resides within the hearts of all living entities, and He resides even within the atom. Because we lack perfect knowledge, we cannot see God, but a little deliberation can help us to see God everywhere. This requires training. With a little deliberation, even the most degraded person can perceive the presence of God. If we take into account whose property is the vast ocean, whose property is the vast land, how the sky exists, how the numberless millions of stars and planets are set in the sky, who has made this universe and whose property it is, we should certainly come to the conclusion that there is a proprietor of everything. When we claim proprietorship over a certain piece of land, whether individually or for our families or nations, we should also consider how we became the proprietors. The land was there before our birth, before we came to the land. How did it become our property? Such deliberation will help us understand that there is a supreme proprietor of everything—the Supreme Personality of Godhead.",
|
||||
"The Supreme Godhead is always awake. In the conditioned stage we forget things because we change our bodies, but because the Supreme Personality of Godhead does not change His body, He remembers past, present and future. Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.1), <i>imaṁ vivasvate yogaṁ proktavān aham avyayam:</i> \"I spoke this science of God—<i>Bhagavad-gītā</i>—to the sun-god at least forty million years ago.\" When Arjuna inquired from Kṛṣṇa how He could remember incidents that had taken place so long ago, the Lord answered that Arjuna was also present at that time. Because Arjuna is Kṛṣṇa's friend, wherever Kṛṣṇa goes, Arjuna goes. But the difference is that Kṛṣṇa remembers everything, whereas the living entity like Arjuna, being a minute particle of the Supreme Lord, forgets. Therefore it is said, the Lord's vigilance is never diminished. This is also confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.15). <i>Sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca:</i> the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His Paramātmā feature is always present within the hearts of all living entities, and from Him come memory, knowledge and forgetfulness. This is also indicated in this verse by the word <i>suparṇam,</i> which means \"friend.\" In the <i>Śvetāśvatara </i><b><i>Upaniṣad </i></b>it is therefore said, <i>dvā suparṇa sayujā sakhāyā samānaṁ vṛkṣaṁ pariṣasvajāte:</i> two birds are sitting on the same tree as friends. One bird is eating the fruit of the tree, and the other is simply observing. This observing bird is always present as a friend to the eating bird and giving him remembrance of things he wanted to do. Thus if we take into account the Supreme Personality of Godhead in our daily affairs, we can see Him or at least perceive His presence everywhere.",
|
||||
"The words <i>cakṣur yasya na riṣyati</i> mean that although we cannot see Him, this does not mean that He cannot see us. Nor does He die when the cosmic manifestation is annihilated. The example is given in this connection that the sunshine is present when the sun is present, but when the sun is not present, or when we cannot see the sun, this does not mean that the sun is lost. The sun is there, but we cannot see it. Similarly, although we cannot see the Supreme Personality of Godhead in our present darkness, our lack of knowledge, He is always present, seeing our activities. As the Paramātmā, He is the witness and adviser (<i>upadraṣṭā</i> and <i>anumantā</i>). Therefore, by following the instructions of the spiritual master and studying authorized literatures, one can understand that God is present before us, seeing everything, although we have no eyes with which to see Him."

Therefore in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (18.55) it is said, <i>bhaktyā mām abhijānāti yāvān yaś cāsmi tattvataḥ:</i> one who wants to understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead in reality must take to the platform of <i>bhakti,</i> or Kṛṣṇa consciousness. This <i>bhakti</i> consists of various activities (<i>śravaṇaṁ kīrtanaṁ viṣṇoḥ smaraṇaṁ pāda-sevanam/ arcanaṁ vandanaṁ dāsyaṁ sakhyam ātma-nivedanam</i>), and to understand the Lord one must take to this path of devotional service. Even though the people of the world have forgotten God and may say that God is dead, this is not a fact. One can understand God when one takes to the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement, and thus one can be happy."

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>3.9</i>) Lord Kṛṣṇa advises, <i>yajñārthāt karmaṇo 'nyatra loko 'yaṁ karma-bandhanaḥ:</i> \"Work done as a sacrifice for Viṣṇu has to be performed, otherwise work binds one to this material world.\" Generally, everyone is attracted to hard labor for becoming happy in this material world, but although various activities are going on all over the world simply for the sake of happiness, unfortunately only problems are being created from such fruitive activities. Therefore it is advised that active persons engage in activities of Kṛṣṇa consciousness, which are called <i>yajña,</i> because then they will gradually come to the platform of devotional service. <i>Yajña</i> means Lord Viṣṇu, the <i>yajña-puruṣa,</i> the enjoyer of all sacrifices (<i>bhoktāraṁ yajña-tapasāṁ sarva-loka-maheśvaram</i>). The Supreme Personality of Godhead is actually the enjoyer, and therefore if we begin our activities for His satisfaction, we will gradually lose our taste for material activities.",

One cannot please Kṛṣṇa by sitting idly; one must act according to the directions of the spiritual master for the sake of pleasing the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and then one will gradually come to the stage of pure devotional service.

If there is no Kṛṣṇa consciousness, any kind of activity, be it philanthropic, political or social, simply causes <i>karma-bandhana,</i> bondage to material work.",

"\"One who restrains the senses and organs of action, but whose mind dwells on sense objects, certainly deludes himself and is called a pretender.\" (Bg. 3.6) One should act for Kṛṣṇa very seriously in order to become fully Kṛṣṇa conscious and should not sit down to imitate such great personalities as Haridāsa Ṭhākura. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura condemned such imitation. He said:",

Simply for cheap adoration, you sit in a solitary place and pretend to chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mahā-mantra,</i> but this is all cheating.\" Recently at Māyāpur an African devotee wanted to imitate Haridāsa Ṭhākura, but after fifteen days he became restless and went away. Do not suddenly try to imitate Haridāsa Ṭhākura. Engage yourself in Kṛṣṇa conscious activities, and gradually you will come to the stage of liberation (<i>muktir hitvānyathā rūpaṁ svarūpeṇa vyavasthitiḥ</i>)."

The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, appears in order to teach us how to work so that we will not be entangled in this material world. Our real problem is that we are entangled in materialistic activities, and because we are conditioned, our struggle continues through punishment in material existence in one body after another in different forms of life. As the Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.7):",
|
||||
"<i>mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke<br/> jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ<br/> manaḥ ṣaṣṭhānīndriyāṇi<br/> prakṛti-sthāni karṣati</i>",

"\"The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal, fragmental parts. Due to conditioned life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.\" The living entities are actually minute forms who are part and parcel of the Supreme Lord. The Supreme Lord is full in everything, and the small particles of the Lord are also originally qualified like Him, but because of their minute existence, they are infected by material attraction and thus entangled. We must therefore follow the instructions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and then, like Kṛṣṇa, who is never entangled by His material activities of creation, maintenance and annihilation, we will have nothing for which to lament (<i>nāvasīdanti ye 'nu tam</i>). Kṛṣṇa personally gives instructions in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> and anyone who follows these instructions is liberated.",
|
||||
"Following Kṛṣṇa's instructions is possible when one is a devotee, for Kṛṣṇa instructs that one should become a devotee. <i>Man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru:</i> \"Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me.\" (Bg. 18.65) Always thinking of Kṛṣṇa means chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra,</i> but unless one is an initiated devotee he cannot do this. As soon as one becomes a devotee, he engages in Deity worship (<i>mad-yājī</i>). A devotee's business is to offer obeisances to the Lord and the spiritual master constantly. This principle is the recognized way to come to the platform of <i>bhakti.</i> As soon as one comes to this platform, he gradually understands the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and simply by understanding Kṛṣṇa one is liberated from material bondage."

"This is the sum and substance of our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. We are simply requesting human society to follow in the footsteps of the teacher of <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> Follow the instructions of <i>Bhagavad-gītā As It Is,</i> and your life will be successful. That is the summary of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. The organizer of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is teaching everyone how to follow Lord Rāmacandra, how to follow Lord Kṛṣṇa, and how to follow Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. In this material world, we need a leader for a monarchy or good government. Lord Śrī Rāmacandra, by His practical example, showed how to live for the benefit of all human society. He fought with demons like Rāvaṇa, He carried out the orders of His father, and He remained the faithful husband of mother Sītā. Thus there is no comparison to Lord Rāmacandra's acting as an ideal king. Indeed, people still hanker for <i>rāma-rājya,</i> a government conducted like that of Lord Rāmacandra. Similarly, although Lord Kṛṣṇa is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He taught His disciple and devotee Arjuna how to lead a life ending in going back home, back to Godhead (<i>tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so 'rjuna</i>). All teachings—political, economic, social, religious, cultural and philosophical—are to be found in <i>Bhagavad-gītā.</i> One only has to follow them strictly. The Supreme Personality of Godhead also comes as Lord Caitanya just to play the part of a pure devotee. Thus the Lord teaches us in different ways just to make our lives successful, and Svāyambhuva Manu requests us to follow Him.",
|
||||
"Svāyambhuva Manu is the leader of mankind, and he has given a book called <i>Manu-saṁhitā</i> to guide human society. Herein he directs us to follow the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His different incarnations. These incarnations are described in Vedic literature, and Jayadeva Gosvāmī has described ten important incarnations in summary (<i>keśava dhṛta-mīna-śarīra jaya jagad-īśa hare, keśava dhṛta-nara-hari-rūpa jaya jagad-īśa hare, keśava dhṛta-buddha-śarīra jaya jagad-īśa hare,</i> etc.). Svāyambhuva Manu instructs us to follow the instructions of God's incarnations, especially Kṛṣṇa's instructions of <i>Bhagavad-gītā As It Is.</i>",
|
||||
"Appreciating <i>bhakti-mārga</i> as instructed by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya thus depicted the activities of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu:",
|
||||
"<i>vairāgya-vidyā-nija-bhakti-yoga-<br/> śikṣārtham ekaḥ puruṣaḥ purāṇaḥ<br/> śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya-śarīra-dhārī<br/> kṛpāmbudhir yas tam ahaṁ prapadye</i>",

"\"Let me take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who has descended in the form of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to teach us real knowledge, His devotional service, and detachment from whatever does not foster Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He has descended because He is an ocean of transcendental mercy. Let me surrender unto His lotus feet.\" (<i>Caitanya-candrodaya-nāṭaka 6.74</i>) In this age of Kali, people cannot follow the instructions of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore the Lord Himself takes the part of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya to teach personally how to become Kṛṣṇa conscious. He asks everyone to follow Him and to become a <i>guru</i> to deliver the fallen souls of Kali-yuga.",

"<i>yāre dekha, tāre kaha 'kṛṣṇa'-upadeśa<br/> āmāra ājñāya guru hañā tāra' ei deśa</i>",

"\"Instruct everyone to follow the orders of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa as they are given in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> and <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.</i> In this way become a spiritual master and try to liberate everyone in this land.\" (Cc. <i>Madhya</i> 7.128) The coherent purpose of Lord Rāmacandra, Lord Kṛṣṇa and Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu is to teach human society how to be happy by following the instructions of the Supreme Lord."

"In the Tāmasa <i>manvantara</i> there were two kinds of demigods, and one of them was known as the Vaidhṛtis. The duty of the demigods is to protect the authority of the <i>Vedas.</i> The word <i>devatā</i> refers to one who carries the authority of the <i>Vedas,</i> whereas Rākṣasas are those who defy the Vedic authority. If the authority of the <i>Vedas</i> is lost, the entire universe becomes chaotic. Therefore, it is the duty of the demigods, as well as kings and aides of governments, to give full protection to the Vedic authority; otherwise human society will be in a chaotic condition in which there cannot be peace or prosperity."

"In the higher planetary systems, there are not only different types of human beings, but also animals like lions and elephants. There are trees, and the land is made of emeralds. Such is the creation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura has sung in this regard, <i>keśava! tuyā jagata vicitra:</i> \"My Lord Keśava, Your creation is colorful and full of varieties.\" Geologists, botanists and other so-called scientists speculate about other planetary systems, but being unable to estimate the varieties on other planets, they falsely imagine that all planets but this one are vacant, uninhabited, and full of dust. Although they cannot even estimate the varieties existing throughout the universe, they are very proud of their knowledge, and they are accepted as learned by persons of a similar caliber. As described in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (2.3.19), <i>śva-vid-varāhoṣṭra-kharaiḥ saṁstutaḥ puruṣaḥ paśuḥ:</i> materialistic leaders are praised by dogs, hogs, camels and asses, and they themselves are also big animals. One should not be satisfied with the knowledge imparted by a big animal. Rather, one must take knowledge from a perfect person like Śukadeva Gosvāmī. <i>Mahājano yena gataḥ sa panthāḥ:</i> our duty is to follow the instructions of the <i>mahājanas.</i> There are twelve <i>mahājanas,</i> and Śukadeva Gosvāmī is one of them.",

There were also bilva, </b>kapittha, jambīra and bhallātaka trees. Intoxicated bumblebees drank honey and hummed with the chirping of the birds, whose songs were very melodious. The lake was crowded with swans, kāraṇḍavas, cakrāvakas, cranes, and flocks of water chickens, dātyūhas, koyaṣṭis and other murmuring birds. Because of the agitating movements of the fish and tortoises, the water was decorated with pollen that had fallen from the lotus flowers. The lake was surrounded by kadamba flowers, vetasa flowers, nalas, nīpas, vañjulakas, kundas, kurubakas, aśokas, śirīṣas, kūṭajas, iṅgudas, kubjakas, svarṇa-yūthīs, nāgas, punnāgas, jātīs, mallikās, śatapatras, jālakās and mādhavī-latās. The banks were also abundantly adorned with varieties of trees that yielded flowers and fruits in all seasons. Thus the entire mountain stood gloriously decorated.",

"Judging from the exhaustive description of the lakes and rivers on Trikūṭa Mountain, on earth there is no comparison to their superexcellence. On other planets, however, there are many such wonders. For instance, we understand that there are two million different types of trees, and not all of them are exhibited on earth. <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> presents the total knowledge of the affairs of the universe. It not only describes this universe, but also takes into account the spiritual world beyond the universe. No one can challenge the <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam's</i> descriptions of the material and spiritual worlds. The attempts to go from the earth to the moon have failed, but the people of earth can understand what exists on other planets. There is no need of imagination; one may take actual knowledge from <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> and be satisfied."

"purport": [

"In the fighting between the elephant and the crocodile, the difference was that although the elephant was extremely powerful, he was in a foreign place, in the water. During one thousand years of fighting, he could not get any food, and under the circumstances his bodily strength diminished, and because his bodily strength diminished, his mind also became weak and his senses less powerful. The crocodile, however, being an animal of the water, had no difficulties. He was getting food and was therefore getting mental strength and sensual encouragement. Thus while the elephant became reduced in strength, the crocodile became more and more powerful. Now, from this we may take the lesson that in our fight with <i>māyā</i> we should not be in a position in which our strength, enthusiasm and senses will be unable to fight vigorously. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement has actually declared war against the illusory energy, in which all the living entities are rotting in a false understanding of civilization. The soldiers in this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement must always possess physical strength, enthusiasm and sensual power. To keep themselves fit, they must therefore place themselves in a normal condition of life. What constitutes a normal condition will not be the same for everyone, and therefore there are divisions of <i>varṇāśrama</i>—<i>brāhmaṇa, kṣatriya, vaiśya, śūdra, brahmacarya, gṛhastha, vānaprastha</i> and <i>sannyāsa.</i> Especially in this age, Kali-yuga, it is advised that no one take <i>sannyāsa.</i>",
|
||||
"From this we can understand that in this age the <i>sannyāsa-āśrama</i> is forbidden because people are not strong. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu showed us an example in taking <i>sannyāsa</i> at the age of twenty-four years, but even Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya advised Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to be extremely careful because He had taken <i>sannyāsa</i> at an early age. For preaching we give young boys <i>sannyāsa,</i> but actually it is being experienced that they are not fit for <i>sannyāsa.</i> There is no harm, however, if one thinks that he is unfit for <i>sannyāsa;</i> if he is very much agitated sexually, he should go to the <i>āśrama</i> where sex is allowed, namely the <i>gṛhastha-āśrama.</i> That one has been found to be very weak in one place does not mean that he should stop fighting the crocodile of <i>māyā.</i> One should take shelter of the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, as we shall see Gajendra do, and at the same time one can be a <i>gṛhastha</i> if he is satisfied with sexual indulgence. There is no need to give up the fight. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu therefore recommended, <i>sthāne sthitāḥ śruti-gatāṁ tanu-vān-manobhiḥ.</i> One may stay in whichever <i>āśrama</i> is suitable for him; it is not essential that one take <i>sannyāsa.</i> If one is sexually agitated, he can enter the <i>gṛhastha-āśrama.</i> But one must continue fighting. For one who is not in a transcendental position, to take <i>sannyāsa</i> artificially is not a very great credit. If <i>sannyāsa</i> is not suitable, one may enter the <i>gṛhastha-āśrama</i> and fight <i>māyā</i> with great strength. But one should not give up the fighting and go away."

The King of the elephants, in his condition of danger, decided to seek shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord. After considerable thought, he intelligently arrived at this correct decision. Such a decision is not reached by a sinful man. Therefore in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> it is said that those who are pious (<i>sukṛtī</i>) can decide that in a dangerous or awkward condition one should seek shelter of the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa."

"This material world is described as <i>padaṁ padaṁ yad vipadām,</i> which means that at every step there is danger. A fool wrongly thinks that he is happy in this material world, but in fact he is not, for one who thinks that way is only illusioned. At every step, at every moment, there is danger. In modern civilization one thinks that if he has a nice home and a nice car his life is perfect. In the Western countries, especially in America, it is very nice to possess a good car, but as soon as one is on the road, there is danger because at any moment an accident may take place and one will be killed. The record actually shows that so many people die in such accidents. Therefore if we actually think that this material world is a very happy place, this is our ignorance. Real knowledge is that this material world is full of danger. We may struggle for existence as far as our intelligence allows and may try to take care of ourselves, but unless the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa, ultimately saves us from danger, our attempts will be useless.

The King of the elephants decided to surrender unto Him. This is intelligent. One must know that great Supreme Personality of Godhead and surrender unto Him.

"It is out of fear of the Supreme Personality of Godhead that the wind is blowing, that the sun is distributing heat and light, and that death is chasing everyone. Thus there is a supreme controller, as confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>9.10</i>): <i>mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram.</i> This material manifestation is working so well because of the supreme controller. Any intelligent person, therefore, can understand that there is a supreme controller. Furthermore, the supreme controller Himself appears as Lord Kṛṣṇa, as Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu and as Lord Rāmacandra to give us instructions and to show us by example how to surrender unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Yet those who are <i>duṣkṛtī,</i> the lowest of men, do not surrender (<i>na māṁ duṣkṛtino mūḍhāḥ prapadyante narādhamāḥ</i>).",
|

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> the Lord clearly says, <i>mṛtyuḥ sarva-haraś cāham:</i> \"I am all-devouring death.\" Thus <i>mṛtyu,</i> or death, is the representative who takes everything away from the living entity who has accepted a material body. No one can say, \"I do not fear death.\" This is a false proposition. Everyone fears death. However, one who seeks shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead can be saved from death. One may argue, \"Does the devotee not die?\" The answer is that a devotee certainly must give up his body, for the body is material. The difference is, however, that for one who surrenders to Kṛṣṇa fully and who is protected by Kṛṣṇa, the present body is his last; he will not again receive a material body to be subjected to death. This is assured in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.9). <i>Tyaktvā dehaṁ punar janma naiti mām eti so'rjuna:</i> a devotee, after giving up his body, does not accept a material body, but returns home, back to Godhead. We are always in danger because at any moment death can take place. It is not that only Gajendra, the King of the elephants, was afraid of death. Everyone should fear death because everyone is caught by the crocodile of eternal time and may die at any moment. The best course, therefore, is to seek shelter of Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and be saved from the struggle for existence in this material world, in which one repeatedly takes birth and dies. To reach this understanding is the ultimate goal of life."

"In these verses it is assured that even if a person engaged in devotional service falls down, he is not degraded, but is placed in a position in which he will in due course of time remember the Supreme Personality of Godhead. As explained later, Gajendra was formerly King Indradyumna, and somehow or other in his next life he became King of the elephants. Now Gajendra was in danger, and although he was in a body other than that of a human being, he remembered the <i>stotra</i> he had chanted in his previous life. <i>Yatate ca tato bhūyaḥ saṁsiddhau kuru-nandana.</i> To enable one to achieve perfection, Kṛṣṇa gives one the chance to remember Him again. This is proved here, for although the King of the elephants, Gajendra, was put in danger, this was a chance for him to remember his previous devotional activities so that he could immediately be rescued by the Supreme Personality of Godhead.",

"It is imperative, therefore, that all devotees in Kṛṣṇa consciousness practice chanting some <i>mantra.</i> Certainly one should chant the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra,</i> which is the <i>mahā-mantra,</i> or great <i>mantra,</i> and also one should practice chanting <i>cintāmaṇi-prakara-sadmasu</i> or the Nṛsiṁha <i>strotra</i> (<i>ito nṛsiṁhaḥ parato nṛsiṁho yato yato yāmi tato nṛsiṁhaḥ</i>). Every devotee should practice in order to chant some <i>mantra</i> perfectly so that even though he may be imperfect in spiritual consciousness in this life, in his next life he will not forget Kṛṣṇa consciousness, even if he becomes an animal. Of course, a devotee should try to perfect his Kṛṣṇa consciousness in this life, for simply by understanding Kṛṣṇa and His instructions, after giving up this body one can return home, back to Godhead. Even if there is some falldown, practice of Kṛṣṇa consciousness never goes in vain. For example, Ajāmila, in his boyhood, practiced chanting the name of Nārāyaṇa under the direction of his father, but later, in his youth, he fell down and became a drunkard, woman-hunter, rogue and thief. Nonetheless, because of chanting the name of Nārāyaṇa for the purpose of calling his son, whom he had named Nārāyaṇa, he became advanced, even though he was involved in sinful activities. Therefore, we should not forget the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra</i> under any circumstances. It will help us in the greatest danger, as we find in the life of Gajendra."

"In this verse the words <i>etac cid-ātmakam</i> are very important. The material body certainly consists only of material elements, but when one awakens to Kṛṣṇa conscious understanding, the body is no longer material but spiritual. The material body is meant for sense enjoyment, whereas the spiritual body engages in the transcendental loving service of the Lord. Therefore, a devotee who engages in the service of the Supreme Lord and who constantly thinks of Him should never be considered to have a material body. It is therefore enjoined, <i>guruṣu nara-matiḥ:</i> one should stop thinking of the spiritual master as an ordinary human being with a material body. <i>Arcye viṣṇau śilā-dhīḥ:</i> everyone knows that the Deity in the temple is made of stone, but to think that the Deity is merely stone is an offense. Similarly, to think that the body of the spiritual master consists of material ingredients is offensive. Atheists think that devotees foolishly worship a stone statue as God and an ordinary man as the <i>guru.</i> The fact is, however, that by the grace of Kṛṣṇa's omnipotence, the so-called stone statue of the Deity is directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the body of the spiritual master is directly spiritual. A pure devotee who is engaged in unalloyed devotional service should be understood to be situated on the transcendental platform (<i>sa guṇān samatītyaitān brahma-bhūyāya kalpate</i>). Let us therefore offer our obeisances unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, by whose mercy so-called material things also become spiritual when they are engaged in spiritual activity.",
|
||||
"<i>Oṁkāra</i> (<i>praṇava</i>) is the symbolic sound representation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Oṁ tat sad iti nirdeśo brahmaṇas tri-vidhaḥ smṛtaḥ:</i> the three words <i>oṁ tat sat</i> immediately invoke the Supreme Person. Therefore Kṛṣṇa says that He is <i>oṁkāra</i> in all the Vedic <i>mantras</i> (<i>praṇavaḥ sarva-vedeṣu</i>). The Vedic <i>mantras</i> are pronounced beginning with <i>oṁkāra</i> to indicate immediately the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,</i> for example, begins with the words <i>oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.</i> There is no difference between the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Vāsudeva, and <i>oṁkāra</i> (<i>praṇava</i>). We should be careful to understand that <i>oṁkāra</i> does not indicate anything <i>nirākāra,</i> or formless. Indeed, this verse immediately says, <i>oṁ namo bhagavate.</i> Bhagavān is a person. Thus <i>oṁkāra</i> is the representation of the Supreme Person. <i>Oṁkāra</i> is not meant to be impersonal, as the Māyāvādī philosophers consider it to be. This is distinctly expressed here by the word <i>puruṣāya.</i> The supreme truth addressed by <i>oṁkāra</i> is <i>puruṣa,</i> the Supreme Person; He is not impersonal. Unless He is a person, how can He control the great, stalwart controllers of this universe? Lord Viṣṇu, Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva are the supreme controllers of this universe, but Lord Viṣṇu is offered obeisances even by Lord Śiva and Lord Brahmā. Therefore this verse uses the word <i>pareśāya,</i> which indicates that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is worshiped by exalted <i>demigods.</i> <i>Pareśāya</i> means <i>parameśvara.</i> Lord Brahmā and Lord Śiva are <i>īśvaras,</i> great controllers, but Lord Viṣṇu is <i>parameśvara,</i> the supreme controller."

The Supreme Lord, however, is the sunshine, as confirmed in the Vedic <i>mantras:</i> <i>āditya-varṇaṁ tamasaḥ parastāt.</i> In our daily experience, when we on earth are in the darkness of night, the sun is always luminous somewhere in the sky.

There are many, many <i>yogīs</i> trying to find Him. <i>Dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ. </i>[<i>Bhāg.</i> 1.2.11] Nonetheless, even great <i>yogīs,</i> demigods, saints and sages have been unable to understand the bodily features of that great artist, nor could they understand the meaning of His movements. What then is to be said of ordinary speculators like the so-called philosophers of this material world? For them He is impossible to understand. Therefore we must accept the statements given by the Supreme when He kindly incarnates to instruct us. We must simply accept the word of Lord Rāmacandra, Lord Kṛṣṇa and Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and follow in Their footsteps. Then it may be possible for us to know the purpose of Their incarnations.",

"In the <i>Viṣṇu Purāṇa</i> it is said, <i>guṇāṁś ca doṣāṁś ca mune vyatīta samasta-kalyāṇa-guṇātmako hi.</i> The Supreme Personality of Godhead has no material form, qualities or faults. He is spiritual and is the only reservoir of all spiritual qualities. As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.8) by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, <i>paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām.</i> The Lord's activities of saving the devotees and annihilating the demons are transcendental. Anyone annihilated by the Supreme Personality of Godhead gets the same result as a devotee who is protected by the Lord; both of them are transcendentally promoted. The only difference is that a devotee goes directly to the spiritual planets and becomes an associate of the Supreme Lord, whereas demons are promoted to <i>brahmaloka,</i> the impersonal effulgence of the Lord. Both of them, however, are transcendentally promoted. The Lord's killing or annihilating of the demons is not exactly like the killing of this material world. Although He appears to act within the modes of material nature, He is <i>nirguṇa,</i> above the modes of nature. His name is not material; otherwise how could one get liberation by chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Rāma? The names of the Lord like Rāma and Kṛṣṇa are nondifferent from the person Rāma and Kṛṣṇa. Thus by chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa <i>mantra</i> one constantly associates with Rāma and Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and therefore becomes liberated. A practical example is Ajāmila, who always remained transcendental to his activities simply by chanting the name Nārāyaṇa. If this was true of Ajāmila, what is to be said of the Supreme Lord? When the Lord comes to this material world, He does not become a product of matter. This is confirmed throughout <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>janma-karma ca me divyam, avajānanti māṁ mūḍhāḥ mānuṣīṁ tanum āśritam</i>). Therefore, when the Supreme Personality of Godhead—Rāma or Kṛṣṇa—descends to act transcendentally for our benefit, we should not consider Him an ordinary human being. When the Lord comes, He does so on the basis of His spiritual potency (<i>sambhavāmy ātma-māyayā</i>). Because He is not forced to come by the material energy, He is always transcendental. One should not consider the Supreme Lord an ordinary human being. Material names and forms are contaminated, but spiritual name and spiritual form are transcendental."

"In the previous verses it has been described that although the Supreme Personality of Godhead has no material form, He accepts innumerable forms to favor His devotees and kill the demons. As stated in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,</i> there are so many incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead that they are like the waves of a river. The waves of a river flow incessantly, and no one can count how many waves there are. Similarly, no one can calculate when and how the different incarnations of the Lord appear according to the necessities of time, place and candidates. The Lord appears perpetually. As Kṛṣṇa says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (4.7):",
|
||||
"<i>yadā yadā hi dharmasya<br/> glānir bhavati bhārata<br/> abhyutthānam adharmasya<br/> tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham</i>",
|
||||
"\"Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion—at that time I descend Myself.\" In the material world there is always the possibility of deviation from Kṛṣṇa consciousness, and therefore Kṛṣṇa and His devotees always act in various forms to curb such godlessness.",
|
||||
"Even impersonalists who stress the knowledge feature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead want to merge in the effulgence of the Lord. Therefore, here the word <i>jñāna-ghanāya</i> indicates that for atheists who disbelieve in the form and existence of the Lord, all these various incarnations appear. Since the Lord comes to teach in so many forms, no one can say that there is no God. The word <i>jñāna-ghanāya</i> is especially used here to refer to those whose knowledge has become solidified by dint of their searching for the Lord through speculative philosophical understanding. Superficial knowledge is useless for understanding the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but when one's knowledge becomes extremely intense and deep, one understands Vāsudeva (<i>vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ</i>). A <i>jñānī</i> attains this stage after many, many births. Therefore the word <i>jñāna-ghanāya</i> is used here. The word <i>śantāya</i> indicates that Lord Vāsudeva is situated in everyone's heart but does not act with the living entity. Impersonalist <i>jñānīs</i> realize Vāsudeva when they are fully mature in knowledge (<i>vāsudevaḥ sarvam iti sa mahātmā sudurlabhaḥ</i>)."

"In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (13.3) the Lord says, <i>kṣetra-jñaṁ cāpi māṁ viddhi sarva-kṣetreṣu bhārata:</i> \"O scion of Bharata, you should understand that I am also the knower in all bodies.\" Every one of us is thinking, \"I am this body\" or \"This is my body,\" but actually the truth is different. Our bodies are given to us by the supreme proprietor. The living entity, who is also <i>kṣetra-jña,</i> or the knower of the body, is not the body's only proprietor; the actual proprietor of the body is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the supreme <i>kṣetra-jña.</i> For example, we may rent and occupy a house, but actually the owner of the house is the landlord. Similarly, we may be allotted a certain type of body as a facility with which to enjoy this material world, but the actual proprietor of the body is the Supreme Personality of Godhead. He is called <i>sarvādhyakṣa</i> because everything in the material world works under His supervision. This is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (<i>9.10</i>), wherein the Lord says, <i>mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sacarācaram:</i> \"This material nature, working under My direction, O son of Kuntī, is producing all moving and unmoving beings.\" From <i>prakṛti,</i> or material nature, come so many varieties of living entities, including aquatics, plants, trees, insects, birds, animals, human beings and demigods. <i>Prakṛti</i> is the mother, and the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the father (<i>ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā</i>).",
|
||||
"<i>Prakṛti</i> can give us material bodies, but as spirit souls we are parts and parcels of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.7): <i>mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ.</i> The living entity, being part and parcel of God, is not a product of this material world. Therefore the Lord is described in this verse as <i>ātma-mūla,</i> the original source of everything. He is the seed of all existences (<i>bījaṁ māṁ sarva-bhūtānām</i>). In <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (14.4) the Lord says:",
|
||||
"<i>sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya<br/> mūrtayaḥ sambhavanti yāḥ<br/> tāsāṁ brahma mahad yonir<br/> ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā</i>",
|
||||
"\"It should be understood that all living entities, in all species of life, O son of Kuntī, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father.\" Plants, trees, insects, aquatics, demigods, beasts, birds and all other living entities are sons or parts and parcels of the Supreme Lord, but because they are struggling with different mentalities, they have been given different types of bodies (<i>manaḥ ṣaṣṭhānīndriyāṇi prakṛti-sthāni karṣati</i>). Thus they have become sons of <i>prakṛti,</i> or material nature, which is impregnated by the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Every living entity in this material world is struggling for existence, and the only salvation or relief from the cycle of birth and death in the evolutionary process is full surrender. This is indicated by the word <i>namaḥ,</i> \"I offer my respectful obeisances unto You.\""

"To paraphrase this verse: \"The objectives of sensual activities are actually observed by You. Without Your direction, the living entity cannot take even a step forward. As confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (15.15), <i>sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca.</i> You are situated in everyone's heart, and only from You come remembrance and forgetfulness. <i>Chāyeva yasya bhuvanāni bibharti durgā </i>[<i>Bs</i>. 5.44]<i>.</i> The living entity under the clutches of <i>māyā</i> wants to enjoy this material world, but unless You give him directions and remind him, he cannot make progress in pursuing his shadowy objective in life. The conditioned soul wrongly progresses toward the wrong objective, life after life, and he is reminded of that objective by You. In one life the conditioned soul desires to progress toward a certain objective, but after his body changes, he forgets everything. Nonetheless, my Lord, because he wanted to enjoy something of this world, You remind him of this in his next birth. <i>Mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca.</i> Because the conditioned soul wants to forget You, by Your grace You give him opportunities, life after life, by which he can almost perpetually forget You. Therefore You are eternally the director of the conditioned souls. It is because You are the original cause of everything that everything appears real. The ultimate reality is Your Lordship, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. I offer my respectful obeisances unto You.\"",
|
||||
"The word <i>sarva-pratyaya-hetave</i> is explained by Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura, who says that a result gives one a glimpse of its cause. For example, since an earthen pot is the result of the actions of a potter, by seeing the earthen pot one can guess at the existence of the potter. Similarly, this material world resembles the spiritual world, and any intelligent person can guess how it is acting. As explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> <i>mayādhyakṣeṇa prakṛtiḥ sūyate sa-carācaram.</i> The activities of the material world suggest that behind them is the superintendence of the Lord."

Therefore anyone who desires anything—whether he be a <i>karmī,</i> a <i>jñānī</i> or a <i>yogī</i>—should try to perceive the Supreme Personality of Godhead very seriously, and all of his desires will be fulfilled. The Lord says, <i>ye yathā māṁ prapadyante tāṁs tathaiva bhajāmy aham:</i> \"As the living entities surrender unto Me, I reward them accordingly.\" Even the <i>karmī</i> who wants everything for his enjoyment can get it from Kṛṣṇa.

There are many <i>tattvas,</i> such as <i>viṣṇu-tattva, jīva-tattva</i> and <i>śakti-tattva,</i> but above everything is the <i>viṣṇu-tattva,</i> which is all-pervading. This all-pervading feature of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is explained in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (10.42), wherein the Lord says:",

"\"But what need is there, Arjuna, for all this detailed knowledge? With a single fragment of Myself I pervade and support this entire universe.\" Thus Kṛṣṇa says that the entire material world is maintained by His partial representation as Paramātmā. The Lord enters every universe as Garbhodakaśāyī Viṣṇu and then expands Himself as Kṣīrodakaśāyī Viṣṇu to enter the hearts of all living entities and even enter the atoms. <i>Aṇḍāntara-stha-paramāṇu-cayāntara-stham.</i> Every universe is full of atoms, and the Lord is not only within the universe but also within the atoms. Thus within every atom the Supreme Lord exists in His Viṣṇu feature as Paramātmā, but all the <i>viṣṇu-tattvas</i> emanate from Kṛṣṇa. As confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (10.2), <i>aham ādir hi devānām:</i> Kṛṣṇa is the <i>ādi,</i> or beginning, of the <i>devas</i> of this material world—Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara. Therefore He is described here as <i>bhagavate bṛhate.</i> Everyone is <i>bhagavān</i>—everyone possesses opulence—but Kṛṣṇa is <i>bṛhān bhagavān,</i> the possessor of unlimited opulence. <i>Īśvaraḥ paramaḥ kṛṣṇaḥ.</i> Kṛṣṇa is the origin of everyone. <i>Ahaṁ sarvasya prabhavaḥ.</i> Even Brahmā, Viṣṇu and Maheśvara come from Kṛṣṇa. <i>Mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyāt kiñcid asti dhanañjaya:</i> there is no personality superior to Kṛṣṇa. Therefore Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura says that <i>bhagavate bṛhate</i> means \"unto Śrī Kṛṣṇa.\"",

"\"A human being who identifies the body made of three elements as the self, who considers the by-products of the body to be his kinsmen, who considers the land of his birth to be worshipable, and who goes to a place of pilgrimage simply to bathe rather than to meet men of transcendental knowledge there is to be considered like a cow or an ass.\" (<i>Bhāg.</i> 10.84.13) Practically everyone, therefore, is a <i>paśu,</i> an animal, and everyone is attacked by the crocodile of material existence. Not only the King of the elephants but every one of us is being attacked by the crocodile and is suffering the consequences.",

"Only Kṛṣṇa can deliver us from this material existence. Indeed, He is always trying to deliver us. <i>Īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ hṛd-deśe 'rjuna tiṣṭhati.</i> He is within our hearts and is not at all inattentive. His only aim is to deliver us from material life. It is not that He becomes attentive to us only when we offer prayers to Him. Even before we offer our prayers, He incessantly tries to deliver us. He is never lazy in regard to our deliverance. Therefore this verse says, <i>bhūri-karuṇāya namo 'layāya.</i> It is the causeless mercy of the Supreme Lord that He always tries to bring us back home, back to Godhead. God is liberated, and He tries to make us liberated, but although He is constantly trying, we refuse to accept His instructions (<i>sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja</i>). Nonetheless, He has not become angry. Therefore He is described here as <i>bhūri-karuṇāya,</i> unlimitedly merciful in delivering us from this miserable material condition of life and taking us back home, back to Godhead."

"<i>anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ<br/> jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam<br/> ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-<br/> śīlanaṁ bhaktir uttamā<br/> </i>(<i>Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu 1.1.11</i>)",

"\"One should render transcendental loving service to the Supreme Lord Kṛṣṇa favorably and without desire for material profit or gain through fruitive activities or philosophical speculation. That is called pure devotional service.\" Unalloyed devotees have nothing to ask from the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but Gajendra, the King of the elephants, was circumstantially asking for an immediate benediction because he had no other way to be rescued. Sometimes, when there is no alternative, a pure devotee, being fully dependent on the mercy of the Supreme Lord, prays for some benediction. But in such a prayer there is also regret. One who always hears and chants about the transcendental pastimes of the Lord is always situated on a platform on which he has nothing to ask in terms of material benefits. Unless one is a completely pure devotee, one cannot enjoy the transcendental bliss derived from chanting and dancing in the ecstasy of the <i>saṅkīrtana</i> movement. Such ecstasy is not possible for an ordinary devotee. Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu showed us how one can enjoy transcendental bliss simply by chanting, hearing and dancing in ecstasy. This is <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> Therefore the King of the elephants, Gajendra, said, <i>ādhyātmika-yoga-gamyam,</i> indicating that unless one is situated on this transcendental platform, one cannot approach the Supreme Lord. The benediction of being able to approach the Lord can be achieved after many, many births, yet Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu has awarded this benediction to everyone, even to the fallen souls who have no heritage of anything in spiritual life. That is actually being seen in the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Therefore the path of <i>bhakti-yoga</i> is the spotless process by which to approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Bhaktyāham ekayā grāhyaḥ:</i> only through devotional service can one approach the Supreme Lord. The Lord says in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.1):",
|
||||
"<i>mayy āsakta-manāḥ pārtha<br/> yogaṁ yuñjan mad-āśrayaḥ<br/> asaṁśayaṁ samagraṁ māṁ<br/> yathā jñāsyasi tac chṛṇu</i>",
|
||||
"\"Now hear, O son of Pṛthā [Arjuna], how by practicing <i>yoga</i> in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt.\" Simply by being attached to Kṛṣṇa consciousness and by thinking of the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa constantly, one can fully understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead, without a doubt."

"Sometimes when <i>bhakti-yoga,</i> Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is preached to the common man, people argue, \"Where is Kṛṣṇa? Where is God? Can you show Him to us?\" In this verse the answer is given that if we are sufficiently intelligent, we must know that there is someone who has created the entire cosmic manifestation, who has supplied and has become the ingredients for this cosmic manifestation, who is eternally existing, but who is not within the cosmic manifestation. Simply on the basis of this suggestion, one can offer respectful obeisances unto the Supreme Lord. This is the beginning of devotional life."

"The King of the elephants, Gajendra, simply accepted that there must be someone who has created this cosmic manifestation and has supplied its ingredients. This should be admitted by everyone, even the most determined atheists. Why, then, do the nondevotees and atheists not admit this? The reason is that they are polluted by the reactions of their fruitive activities. One must be freed from all the dirt accumulated within the heart due to fruitive activities performed one after another. One must wash off this dirt by practicing <i>bhakti-yoga.</i> <i>Yoga-randhita-karmāṇaḥ.</i> As long as one is covered by material nature's modes of ignorance and passion, there is no possibility of understanding the Supreme Lord. <i>Tadā rajas-tamo-bhāvāḥ kāma-lobhādayaś ca ye.</i> When one is freed from the modes of ignorance and passion, one becomes free from the lowest qualities—<i>kāma</i> and <i>lobha,</i> lust and greed.",
|
||||
"Nowadays there are so many <i>yoga</i> schools to encourage people in developing their lusty desires and greed through the practice of <i>yoga.</i> People are therefore very much fond of so-called <i>yoga</i> practice. The actual practice of <i>yoga,</i> however, is described here. As authoritatively stated in the <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (12.13.1), <i>dhyānāvasthita-tad-gatena manasā paśyanti yaṁ yoginaḥ:</i> a <i>yogī</i> is one who always meditates on the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is also confirmed in the <i>Brahma-saṁhitā</i> (5.38):",
|

"<i>premāñjana-cchurita-bhakti-vilocanena<br/> santaḥ sadaiva hṛdayeṣu vilokayanti<br/> yaṁ śyāmasundaram acintya-guṇa-svarūpaṁ<br/> govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ tam ahaṁ bhajāmi</i>",
|
||||
"\"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is Śyāmasundara, Kṛṣṇa Himself, with inconceivable innumerable attributes, whom the pure devotees see in their heart of hearts with the eye of devotion tinged with the salve of love.\" The <i>bhakti-yogī</i> constantly sees Śyāmasundara—beautiful Lord Kṛṣṇa with His blackish bodily hue. Because the King of the elephants, Gajendra, thought himself an ordinary animal, he thought himself unfit to see the Lord. In his humility, he thought that he could not practice <i>yoga.</i> In other words, how can those who are like animals in the bodily concept of life, and who have no purity of consciousness, practice <i>yoga</i>? In the present day, people who have no control over their senses, who have no understanding of philosophy and who do not follow religious principles or rules and regulations are nonetheless pretending to be <i>yogīs.</i> This is the greatest anomaly in the practice of mystic <i>yoga.</i>"

"As stated in <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> every living entity—regardless of whether he be human, demigod, animal, bird, bee or whatever—is part and parcel of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord and the living entity are intimately related like father and son. Unfortunately, because of material contact, the living entity forgets this and wants to enjoy the material world independently, according to his own plan. This illusion (<i>māyā</i>) is very difficult to surmount. <i>Māyā</i> covers the living entity because of his willingness to forget the Supreme Personality of Godhead and make his own plan to enjoy this material world. As long as this contamination continues, the conditioned soul will be unable to understand his real identity and will perpetually continue under illusion, life after life. <i>Ato gṛha-kṣetra-sutāpta-vittair janasya moho 'yam ahaṁ mameti</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 5.5.8). As long as the living entity is not enlightened so that he may understand his real position, he will be attracted to materialistic life, to house, country or field, to society, sons, family, community, bank balance and so on. Covered by all this, he will continue to think, \"I am this body, and everything related to this body is mine.\" This materialistic conception of life is extremely difficult to surmount, but one who surrenders to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as did Gajendra, the King of the elephants, comes to enlightenment on the Brahman platform.",

"\"One who is transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman and becomes fully joyful. He never laments nor desires to have anything; he is equally disposed toward all living entities. In that state he attains pure devotional service unto Me.\" (Bg. 18.54) Since a devotee is completely on the Brahman platform, he is not jealous of any other living entity (<i>samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu</i>)."

Thus none of them approached him. However, because Lord Hari is the Supersoul, Puruṣottama, the Personality of Godhead, He appeared before Gajendra.</b>",
|
||||
"purport": [
|

"From the description of Gajendra, he apparently was aiming at the supreme authority although he did not know who the supreme authority is. He conjectured, \"There is a supreme authority who is above everything.\" Under the circumstances, the Lord's various expansions, such as Lord Brahmā, Lord Śiva, Candra and Indra, all thought, \"Gajendra is not asking our help. He is asking the help of the Supreme, who is above all of us.\" As Gajendra has described, the Supreme Lord has various parts and parcels, including the demigods, human beings and animals, all covered by separate forms. Although the demigods are in charge of maintaining different aspects of the universe, Gajendra thought that they were unable to rescue him. <i>Hariṁ vinā naiva mṛtiṁ taranti:</i> no one can rescue anyone from the dangers of birth, death, old age and disease. It is only the Supreme Personality of Godhead who can rescue one from the dangers of material existence. Therefore an intelligent person, to get free from this dangerous existence, approaches the Supreme Personality of Godhead, not any demigod. As confirmed in <i>Bhagavad-gītā</i> (7.20), <i>kāmais tais tair hṛta-jñānāḥ prapadyante 'nya-devatāḥ:</i> those who are unintelligent approach the various demigods for temporary material benefits. Actually, however, these demigods cannot rescue the living entity from the dangers of material existence. Like other living entities, the demigods are merely external parts of the Supreme Personality of Godhead's transcendental body. As stated in the Vedic <i>mantras, sa ātma aṅgāny anyā devatāḥ.</i> Within the body is the <i>ātmā,</i> the soul, whereas the various parts of the body like the hands and legs are external. Similarly, the <i>ātmā</i> of the entire cosmic manifestation is Nārāyaṇa, Lord Viṣṇu, and all the demigods, human beings and other living entities are parts of His body.",
|
||||
"It may also be concluded that since a tree lives on the strength of its root and when the root is nourished with water all the parts of the tree are nourished, one should worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the original root of everything. Although the Supreme Personality of Godhead is very difficult to approach, He is very near to us because He lives within our hearts. As soon as the Lord understands that one is seeking His favor by fully surrendering, naturally He immediately takes action. Therefore although the demigods did not come to the aid of Gajendra, the Supreme Personality of Godhead immediately appeared before him because of his fervent prayer. This does not mean that the demigods were angry with Gajendra, for actually when Lord Viṣṇu is worshiped, all the other demigods are also worshiped. <i>Yasmin tuṣṭe jagat tuṣṭam:</i> if the Supreme Personality of Godhead is satisfied, everyone is satisfied.",
|
||||
"<i>yathā taror mūla-niṣecanena<br/> tṛpyanti tat-skandha-bhujopaśākhāḥ<br/> prāṇopahārāc ca yathendriyāṇāṁ<br/> tathaiva sarvārhaṇam acyutejyā</i>",
|
||||
"\"As pouring water on the root of a tree energizes the trunk, branches, twigs and everything else, and as supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and limbs of the body, so simply worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead through devotional service automatically satisfies the demigods, who are parts of that Supreme Personality.\" (<i>Bhāg. </i>4.31.14) When the Supreme Personality of Godhead is worshiped, all the demigods are satisfied."

A devotee does not consider a dangerous position to be dangerous, for in such a dangerous position he can fervently pray to the Lord in great ecstasy. Thus a devotee regards danger as a good opportunity. <i>Tat te'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇaḥ.</i> When a devotee is in great danger, he sees that danger to be the great mercy of the Lord because it is an opportunity to think of the Lord very sincerely and with undiverted attention. <i>Tat te 'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇo bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 10.14.8). He does not accuse the Supreme Personality of Godhead for having let His devotee fall into such a dangerous condition. Rather, he considers that dangerous condition to be due to his past misdeeds and takes it as an opportunity to pray to the Lord and offer thanks for having been given such an opportunity. When a devotee lives in this way, his salvation—his going back home, back to Godhead—is guaranteed. We can see this to be true from the example of Gajendra, who anxiously prayed to the Lord and thus received an immediate chance to return home, back to Godhead."

"It is evident from this chapter that great sages like Devala Ṛṣi, Nārada Muni and Agastya Muni will sometimes curse someone. The curse of such a personality, however, is in fact a benediction. Both the crocodile, who had been a Gandharva in his previous life, and Gajendra, who had been a king named Indradyumna, were cursed, but both of them benefited. Indradyumna, in his birth as an elephant, attained salvation and became a personal associate of the Lord in Vaikuṇṭha, and the crocodile regained his status as a Gandharva. We find evidence in many places that the curse of a great saint or devotee is not a curse but a benediction."

The Gandharva had the mentality of an inhabitant of the celestial planetary system, and for him to become an associate of the Supreme Lord would have taken millions of long years.

Similarly, Dhruva Mahārāja assumed his spiritual body in this way. <i>Arcanā-paddhati,</i> daily worship of the Deity, provides an opportunity to touch the body of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and thus it enables one to be fortunate enough to get a spiritual body and go back to Godhead. Not only by touching the body of the Supreme Lord, but simply by hearing about His pastimes, chanting His glories, touching His feet and offering worship—in other words, by serving the Lord somehow or other—one is purified of material contamination. This is the result of touching the Supreme Lord. One who is a pure devotee (<i>anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam</i>), who acts according to the <i>śāstra</i> and the words of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, certainly becomes purified. Like Gajendra, he assumes a spiritual body and returns home, back to Godhead."

"An elephant is very strong, it has a very big body, and it can work very hard and eat a large quantity of food, but its intelligence is not at all commensurate with its size and strength. Thus in spite of so much bodily strength, the elephant works as a menial servant for a human being. Agastya Muni thought it wise to curse the King to become an elephant because the powerful King did not receive Agastya Muni as one is obliged to receive a <i>brāhmaṇa.</i> Yet although Agastya Muni cursed Mahārāja Indradyumna to become an elephant, the curse was indirectly a benediction, for by undergoing one life as an elephant, Indradyumna Mahārāja ended the reactions for all the sins of his previous life. Immediately after the expiry of the elephant's life, he was promoted to Vaikuṇṭhaloka to become a personal associate of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Nārāyaṇa, in a body exactly like that of the Lord. This is called <i>sārūpya-mukti.</i>"

Since the King was a devotee, he accepted Agastya Muni's curse as welcome because it was the desire of the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

"This is the unique position of a devotee of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Although the King was cursed, he welcomed the curse because a devotee is always aware that nothing can happen without the desire of the Supreme Lord. Although the King was not at fault, Agastya Muni cursed him, and when this happened the King considered it to be due to his past misdeeds. <i>Tat te 'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇaḥ</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 10.14.8). This is a practical example of how a devotee thinks. He regards any reverses in life as blessings of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Therefore, instead of being agitated by such reverses, he continues his activities of devotional service, and Kṛṣṇa takes care of him and enables him to be promoted to the spiritual world, back to Godhead. If a devotee has to suffer the reactions of his past misdeeds, the Supreme Lord arranges for him to be given only a token of these reactions, and very soon he is freed from all the reactions of material contamination. One should therefore adhere to devotional service, and the Lord Himself will very soon see to one's promotion to the spiritual world. A devotee should not be disturbed by unfortunate circumstances, but must continue his regular program, depending on the Lord for everything. The word <i>upadhārayan,</i> \"considering,\" is very significant in this verse. This word indicates that a devotee knows what is what; he understands what is happening in material, conditional life."

"In this verse the word <i>vimokṣya</i> is significant. For a devotee, <i>mokṣa</i> or <i>mukti</i>—salvation—means getting the position of the Lord's associate. The impersonalists are satisfied to get the liberation of merging in the Brahman effulgence, but for a devotee, <i>mukti</i> (liberation) means not to merge in the effulgence of the Lord, but to be directly promoted to the Vaikuṇṭha planets and to become an associate of the Lord. In this regard, there is a relevant verse in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (10.14.8):",
|
||||
"<i>tat te 'nukampāṁ susamīkṣamāṇo<br/> bhuñjāna evātma-kṛtaṁ vipākam<br/> hṛd-vāg-vapurbhir vidadhan namas te<br/> jīveta yo mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk</i>",
|
||||
"\"One who seeks Your compassion and thus tolerates all kinds of adverse conditions due to the <i>karma</i> of his past deeds, who engages always in Your devotional service with his mind, words and body, and who always offers obeisances unto You, is certainly a bona fide candidate for liberation.\" A devotee who tolerates everything in this material world and patiently executes his devotional service can become <i>mukti-pade sa dāya-bhāk,</i> a bona fide candidate for liberation. The word <i>dāya-bhāk</i> refers to a hereditary right to the Lord's mercy. A devotee must simply engage in devotional service, not caring about material situations. Then he automatically becomes a rightful candidate for promotion to Vaikuṇṭhaloka. The devotee who renders unalloyed service to the Lord gets the right to be promoted to Vaikuṇṭhaloka, just as a son inherits the property of his father.",
|
||||
"When a devotee gets liberation, he becomes free from material contamination and engages as a servant of the Lord. This is explained in <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> (2.10.6): <i>muktir hitvānyathā rūpaṁ svarūpena vyavasthitiḥ.</i> The word <i>svarūpa</i> refers to <i>sārūpya-mukti</i>—going back home, back to Godhead, and remaining the Lord's eternal associate, having regained a spiritual body exactly resembling that of the Lord, with four hands, holding the <i>śaṅkha, cakra, gadā</i> and <i>padma.</i> The difference between the <i>mukti</i> of the impersonalist and that of the devotee is that the devotee is immediately appointed an eternal servant of the Lord, whereas the impersonalist, although merging in the effulgence of the <i>brahmajyoti,</i> is still insecure and therefore generally falls again to this material world. <i>Āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adho 'nādṛta-yuṣmad-aṅghrayaḥ</i> (<i>Bhāg.</i> 10.2.32). Although the impersonalist rises to the Brahman effulgence and enters into that effulgence, he has no engagement in the service of the Lord, and therefore he is again attracted to materialistic philanthropic activities. Thus he comes down to open hospitals and educational institutions, feed poor men and perform similar materialistic activities, which the impersonalist thinks are more precious than serving the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <i>Anādṛta-yuṣmad-aṅghrayaḥ.</i> The impersonalists do not think that the service of the Lord is more valuable than serving the poor man or starting a school or hospital. Although they say <i>brahma satyaṁ jagan mithyā</i>—\"Brahman is real, and the material world is false\"—they are nonetheless very eager to serve the false material world and neglect the service of the lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead."

"Every verse in the Vedic literature, especially in the <i>Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam</i> and <i>Bhagavad-gītā,</i> is a Vedic <i>mantra.</i> Here the words <i>yathānukīrtayanti</i> are used to recommend that this literature be presented as it is. Unscrupulous persons, however, deviate from the actual narration and interpret the text in their own way with grammatical jugglery. Such deviations are to be avoided. This is a Vedic injunction supported by Śukadeva Gosvāmī, one of the <i>mahājanas,</i> or authorities. He says, <i>yathānukīrtayanti:</i> one should recite the <i>mantra</i> as it is, without deviation, for then one will be eligible to rise to the platform of all good fortune. Śukadeva Gosvāmī especially recommends that those who are <i>brāhmaṇas</i> (<i>śucayaḥ</i>) recite all these <i>mantras</i> after rising from bed in the morning.",

"Because of sinful activities, at night we have bad dreams, which are very troublesome. Indeed, Mahārāja Yudhiṣṭhira was obliged to see hell because of a slight deviation from devotional service to the Lord. Therefore, <i>duḥsvapna</i>—bad dreams—occur because of sinful activities. A devotee sometimes accepts a sinful person as his disciple, and to counteract the sinful reactions he accepts from the disciple, he has to see a bad dream. Nonetheless, the spiritual master is so kind that in spite of having bad dreams due to the sinful disciple, he accepts this troublesome business for the deliverance of the victims of Kali-yuga. After initiation, therefore, a disciple should be extremely careful not to commit again any sinful act that might cause difficulties for himself and the spiritual master. Before the Deity, before the fire, before the spiritual master and before the Vaiṣṇavas, the honest disciple promises to refrain from all sinful activity. Therefore he must not again commit sinful acts and thus create a troublesome situation."
