Poem for Jul 06



Japa Poem

There are different _Puranas_ for people in different mentalities. The Bible was written for a different age, when people were not so advanced. But they should be given a chance. _Rajasic Puranas_ are for demigod worship to have material desires fulfilled. But the _Bhagavatam_ says that if you have material desires, you should still go to Krishna. Krishna has arranged demigod worship because there is freedom of choice. In all Vedic literature, the final goal is Krishna. In Kali-yuga we are so condemned, but even the demigods praise this age because simply by sankirtana all interests are served, both material and spiritual. Therefore, the Hare Krishna mantra is called the maha-mantra.

JAPA POEM

The Scriptures describe the appearance
of the Lord in different ages. He appears
in different colors and different forms.
The Scriptures are for different mentalities.
_Rajasic Puranas_ offer demigod worship.
But the _Bhagavatam¬_ says that
if you have material desires, you
should still go to Krishna.
Kali-yuga is full of sins,
but the demigods praise this age
because simply by sankirtana
all interests are served.
