Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
Canto 6 Chapter 14 Text 4

 


prāyo mumukṣavas teṣāṁ
kecanaiva dvijottama
mumukṣūṇāṁ sahasreṣu
kaścin mucyeta sidhyati
 

TRANSLATION
O best of the brāhmaṇas, Śukadeva Gosvāmī, out of many persons who follow religious principles, only a few desire liberation from the material world. Among many thousands who desire liberation, one may actually achieve liberation, giving up material attachment to society, friendship, love, country, home, wife and children. And among many thousands of such liberated persons, one who can understand the true meaning of liberation is very rare.

Program/Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam/The Brāhmaṇas’ Wives Blessed

Home Program at Jagannath Mandir – Saturday, May 12, 2018

Posted on by Rathi Krishna dasa


The following is a talk given by Śrīla Dhanurdhara Swami at Jagannath Mandir in Sayreville, New Jersey, on Saturday, May 12, 2018.

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
Canto 10 Chapter 23 Text 23

 


prāyaḥ-śruta-priyatamodaya-karṇa-pūrair
yasmin nimagna-manasas tam athākṣi-randraiḥ
antaḥ praveśya su-ciraṁ parirabhya tāpaṁ
prājñaṁ yathābhimatayo vijahur narendra
 

TRANSLATION
O ruler of men, for a long time those brāhmaṇa ladies had heard about Kṛṣṇa, their beloved, and His glories had become the constant ornaments of their ears. Indeed, their minds were always absorbed in Him. Through the apertures of their eyes they now forced Him to enter within their hearts, and then they embraced Him within for a long time. In this way they finally gave up the pain of separation from Him, just as sages give up the anxiety of false ego by embracing their innermost consciousness.
