Jayapataka Swami: You see, every human being has to perform yagna for Visnu. And in the Satya yuga it was meditation, Treta yuga it was homa, Dvapara yuga was worship of the Lord, and in the Kali yuga, it is the chanting of the holy name. Even if someone is in the mode of goodness, they still commit gyata or agyata paapa. So just like sweeping in the house, lighting a fire, walking on the street, you are killing some bugs, you cannot avoid it. Even you are driving a car, some bugs die on the windshield. And you may drive over some bug. There are various ways one has, what you call, agyata paapa. So even if they are in the mode of goodness and even if they think they are happy, but due to their previous karmas, in this life also they are also creating sinful reactions, so they need to do the chanting in this age of Kali. Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare, Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare! krte yad dhyayato Visnu, tretayam yajato Makai, dvapara paricarcaya, kalau tad Hari kirtanat. So in this age of Kali we should do the sacrifice of chanting the holy names and that is prescribed in all the sastras. 12-APRIL-2020 SRI MAYAPUR DHAM, INDIA

- Question: I am very much eager to hear from your divine grace, the proper understanding of Srimad Bhagavatam 1.7.7. “ Yasyam vai sruyamanayam, krsne parama puruse, bhaktir upadyate pumsah, soka moha bhaypaha. Translation: Simply by giving aural reception to this Vedic literature, the feeling for loving devotional service to Lord Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, sprouts up at once to extinguish the fire of lamentation, illusion and fearfulness.” What should be the attitude of a devotee to earn that bhakti which can remove lamentation, illusion and fear?
