ekantik vartalaap evam darshan #1429

A private conversation with Pujya Shri Hit Premanand Govind Sharan Ji Maharaj at Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj, Vrindavan. Sadhaks bring questions about their life and sadhana, and Maharaj Ji resolves them.

Full Discourse

Deepti Agrawal Ji, Radhe Radhe. Maharaj Ji, Maharaj Ji, I don't get fame in life no matter how much I do, whether for someone or for anyone. Fame is not coming. Who needs fame, then? Do you need fame? For fame, chant Radha's naam. Chant Radha's naam with full devotion. However much Radha's naam you chant, the verse says:

bistare sab jag Vimal kirti sadhu sangati na tare bas vrinda vipin pave shri Radhika jo kripa kare
Whoever chants the name will not be forgotten. The whole world will sing of their pure fame, the company of saints will never leave them, and those on whom Shri Radhika showers grace will attain residence in the Vrindavan groves.

Look at Premanand Ji. How many lifetimes will it take to become like him? Only Shri Ji knows. It is Shri Ji's play. Perhaps the cycle of Premanand has been running for many lives at his feet. But we do know this: if you want pure fame, then fall in love with the name of the Lord. The verse says:

bistar sab jag Vimal keeti sadhu sangati na tare vas vrinda vipin pave shri radhikaj kripa
The whole world will sing of pure fame, the company of saints will never leave, and residence in the Vrindavan groves is attained by Shri Radhika's grace.

You may think that by donating five or ten rupees in charity you will earn fame, but it doesn't work that way. When one does intense tapasya and bhajan, one does not want recognition. We never wanted to post these on YouTube for fame. Our rules at Hit Dham were so strict in the beginning that you could not even record on a mobile phone.

Maharaj Ji said: the point is that when people hear what you say many times, they gain special benefit. So we said, if people are benefiting, then there is an allowance, and we began posting on YouTube so that people would gain. By the grace of the Lord, many of our young brothers have given up their bad habits and taken up good ones. This is a great benefit. Today, spiritual reform is beginning in our India and in our world. Spiritual transformation is happening. If even one in a hundred improves, that is a very great benefit.

So we did not start this for fame. We started it so that the glory of the Lord would reach people's ears. All of you, praise Shri Kishori Ji. If you want fame, meet Kishori Ji. Without Kishori Ji, the verse says:

kishori ko adhin hai Lalaju aur Lalaju ka samasth brahmand hai ja ke adhin sada hi sanvro ya braj ko sirtaj hamare mai shyamaju ko raj lalan tere ya adhin
Lalji is under Kishori's control, and the entire universe of Lalji is under her control. Shyamsundar, the crown of Braj, is always under her control. Mother, the rule of Shyamaji is in her hands. Lalan, I am under you.

sunri sakhi ho saanch kahat hoon tu jal hai yah meen tu jal hai yah meen lalan tere hi ain tere hi ras bas Shyam sundarwar janchat hai ja din lalan tere hi adhin
Listen, friend, I speak the truth: you are the water, and I am the fish. You are the water and I am the fish. Lalan, I am wholly yours. Captivated by your rasa, Shyamsundar begs like a poor man. Lalan, I am wholly yours.

If you chant Radha, Radha, Radha, Radha, then Ladli Ji's grace and prasad will increase, and fame will follow. Is that right? Whether in this life or the next, it is certain. Chant the naam abundantly, and there will be auspiciousness.

Puneet Kumar Sharma Ji, Radhe Radhe, Prabhu Ji, Radhe Radhe Maharaj Ji, Maharaj Ji. Can you give any mantra for peace of mind?

Radha, Radha, everywhere. After doing much seva, hospitality and bhajan sadhana, Radha. With Pujyapad Bhai Ji Hanuman Prasad Poddar Ji, Baba Radha. The final state is Radha. If you can hold on to Radha, hold on. If not, then the many names of God: Ram, Krishna, Hari. Chant whichever name you love. All names have equal power, and all names have equal liberating force. But if you ask us, our life-breath, our wealth and our life is the name Radha. Radha naam is our life. Radha naam is the support of our breath. Radha naam is the creator and the sustainer. Radha naam is the nourisher.

Radha naam sabka pujya hai. Radha naam ka pujan karen. Radha naam ke hi dhyan se ham shuddh apna man karen. Radha naam ke jap dhyan se prem badhta jaega. Radha naam hi hamen ant mein premay nikunj mein pahunchaega.
Radha naam is worshipped by all. Worship Radha naam. Through meditation on Radha naam alone, we purify our minds. Through chanting and meditating on Radha naam, love will keep growing. Radha naam alone will take us, in the end, to the loving nikunj.

ye nikunj tak ka lahi hai Radha naam jo chaho hamara man bhi shuddh ho jaega. Tan bhi shuddh ho jaega.
This is the boat that goes all the way to the nikunj: Radha naam. If you wish, our mind will be purified, and the body too will be purified.

Amit Tiwari Ji, Radhe Radhe, Radhe Radhe, Maharaj Ji. Our relationships with Guru Ji, family, brothers and friends have always been full of love. What effort should be made for this? If quarrels or manmukh bhaav ever arise in these relationships, how should one act?

Child, no relationship will remain nourished without bhagwat bhaav, because when adversity comes from the other side, your mind will be disheartened: after so much favourable treatment, why so much adversity? When we hold bhagwat bhaav, we do not hold the feeling of favour or disfavour. We hold bhagwat bhaav. Whatever comes from the other side, we accept it as the Lord's dispensation. That is why: whatever pleases my beloved, that is what I like. There is no reason to be upset. Resentment or enmity toward anyone in any relationship arises only when we have the feeling of favour or disfavour. When there is bhagwat bhaav, the verse says:

umad Ram charan rat vigat kam mad ko nij prabhu mein dekh jagat to kesan karen virodh
Uma, those absorbed in Ram's feet, free from desire and pride, see the whole world as their own Lord. Then with whom would they quarrel?

Seeing one's own Lord in everyone is extremely necessary for the firmness of our relationships. The power to make our relationships supremely pure and to lead us to the attainment of the Lord lies in this equal vision. The vision of the Lord, and the bhaav of the Lord, is what matters. Until bhagwat bhaav arrives, these relationships have no value. We love you very much. If we die tomorrow, or your body is finished, what will the relationship be then? But if we have accepted the Lord, then the Lord was, is, and will be. Just the Lord: was, is, and will be. Have you understood this?

Naveen Patani Ji from Dubai. Radhe Radhe.

Yes. Radhe Radhe, Maharaj Ji. Maharaj Ji, this question belongs to many people whose life has no purpose and who have no bhakti bhaav. Their feeling is that life has no clear purpose. They say: I do a job, and to pass time I do some work every day, and I do more than that. I have no purpose. But when I think, "When I retire, what will I do after that?" we want to ask you: after studying and getting a job, for whom is the job? For wealth?

Wealth is for whom? For living. But for whom are you living? Answer this now. For whom are you living? If there is no God in your life, no love in your life, and no Sachchidananda in your life, then you are just going through the same cycle: earning rupees to earn rupees, living to live. If you earn money for worldly enjoyments, it is all perishable. Practical intellect will give you that answer. If there is no spirituality, and it is all for family and children, then that game is perishable. It is a dream-like game, and there is no truth in it.

Yes, earn a lot of money, have children, that's fine, that's very good. But when you die, what is there after that? In this world a crowd of lakhs has gathered, and when the swan flies away, there is no witness. At that time, tell me, the Name is your only companion.

In satsang today there was a very beautiful discussion of God. The one whose mind is not under control and is not absorbed in God, who does a little bhajan and satsang, what will his destination be? If the mind becomes absorbed in God, then the attainment of God happens. But when the mind has not conquered the senses (jitendriya), the senses are not under control, the mind is not under control, and the mind is not fully absorbed in God, yet he does bhajan and sadhana, does naam jap, listens to satsang and recites the scriptures, then God has said that he cannot fall into a bad state, cannot be ruined. He will be born into a wealthy, respectable and devout family, and in such an atmosphere of devotion he will attain God in his next life. So, do we feel that the purpose of our life should be the attainment of God, or are you not keeping any connection with God?

Suppose you are not yet so pure. Then at least let it be this much: that you are born a human, and do not become a pig or a dog. Let that much be the purpose, so that at least we do enough bhajan to get a human body again, and then do good deeds and please God. So do bhajan. Do bhajan so that this position you have received, this comfort, and this human body may be obtained again, because it was obtained through the strength of merit (punya bal) and the strength of God's grace (kripa bal). So both strengths should be with us: the strength of merit and the strength of God's grace.

So there is no merit greater than naam jap. If we have ₹100, we should also think of spending some of it in the service of a poor person, because whatever ₹100 we have now, if some of it is set aside, it will come back to us later. And since we do naam jap, God's grace will be attained by us. So two actions: selfless service (paropkar) and naam jap. Do these two things in life. Every person should do them. Brother, why do you keep a bank balance? You do it for the future, don't you? But think about the future of this body. That thinking simply does not exist now. This thinking exists only in India.

What will happen after death? This question has been awakened only by the Brahm rishis of India. Otherwise people just live, eat and die. So we feel that to make life meaningful, naam jap and paropkar must certainly be done. Paropkar is a very great dharma. Scripture says:

parhit saris dharm nahin bhai

There is no dharma like doing good for others.

Trilok Kumar ji from Rajasthan: Radhe Radhe, Maharaj Ji. Maharaj Ji, I believe in karma, and I have been listening to you through YouTube for a year. Maharaj Ji, I have a question. In the Ramayana it is said:

karm pradhan vishv kari rakha jo jas karhi to tas phal chakha

Karma is supreme in this world; whatever one does, one receives its fruit accordingly.

sakal padarath hi hai jag mahi karm hin nar pavat nahi

All the good things are in this world, but a man without karma does not obtain them.

And Maharaj Ji, on one hand you say:

hoi hai so hi jo Ram rach rakha

Whatever Ram has ordained is what will happen.

So do you want to remain limited to karma alone? Do you want to do only karma? There are only two kinds of karma, good karma and bad karma, and the results of both are only heaven, hell, and the cycle of death. So will you escape a bad state (durgati) by doing karma? Should we do sat-karma, do bhagavat-karma? Should we do karma while being under God's authority, doing the karma that is favourable to Shri Krishna, and giving up what is unfavourable? Should we do bhajan, do paropkar, serve mother and father, and maintain son, family and so on, and offer all these actions to God, and attain God-realization through them?

If there is no attainment of God, then the whole world is caught in the ripening of good and bad karma. The whole world is doing karma; it is not only you. No one can stay even a moment without doing karma. So everyone is doing karma. Good karma is being made, bad karma is being made. The result of good is happiness, the result of bad is sorrow. Everyone is caught in this tangle of happiness and sorrow. So tell me, is the human body given just for this? Is the fruit of the human body only to keep experiencing happiness and sorrow while doing karma? Treating happiness and sorrow, gain and loss, victory and defeat with equal feeling, in order to attain Paramatma, one must destroy both good and bad karma:

sukh dukhe samay krtva labha labh jaya jai

Treating happiness and sorrow, gain and loss, victory and defeat alike.

When good and bad karma are both destroyed, then there is attainment of God:

shubh ashubh Durg vidhvans bal tab jayati jayat jag uchh

When the fortress of good and bad karma is destroyed by that strength, then victory, and the world is raised high.

When this art comes, the art of destroying both kinds of karma, then it is as the saying goes:

soi jo Ram rach rakha ko kar tark badhave saka

Whatever Ram has ordained: who would argue and extend the matter?

So what happens is what God has ordained. God has now given us the human body, and we are parts of God. Now, by doing bhajan of God, we will destroy good and bad karma and attain God-realization. Karma upon karma, all living beings are doing it. Which one is free of karma? Some sinful acts are happening, some meritorious acts are happening, but the matter is settled only when one rises above karma. Human life is not meant just to remain entangled in karma.

Karma samarpan (offering your actions to God) is meant for performing karma yoga. Attain God through karma yoga. Attain God through bhakti yoga. Attain God through gyan yoga. Human life is for attaining these yogas. Do you understand?

Anshu Tripathi ji, Radhe Radhe. Radhe Radhe, Maharaj Ji.

Maharaj Ji, whenever happiness comes into my life, I become frightened, as if something bad will happen in exchange. Why does this fear torment me, Maharaj Ji?

When the mind is impure, it imagines fear even in happiness. It brings negative thinking. And when the mind is pure, even in times of fear, sorrow and anxiety, it thinks positively and experiences happiness. That is why purifying the mind is essential. That is why we tell everyone: do good to others, do naam jap, do not consume meat or alcohol, do not commit adultery, so that your mind becomes pure. Otherwise, even when an occasion of happiness arrives, that negative thinking, that is, negative thinking, will bring fear. The occasion of happiness has come, and the mind gives sorrow. And when the occasion of sorrow comes, it will certainly suffer.

So purifying the mind is essential, and there are two means to its purity: one is naam jap, and the other is paropkar (charity). Do good to others. Someone is sick, someone is hungry, someone is poor; support them. Fulfil whatever they need at that time. God will bless you greatly. And do naam jap. Without naam jap, everything goes wrong. So, whose question is this? Yes, therefore do naam jap, keep the spirit of charity, serve everyone in your home and family, and negative thinking will go away on its own. If you do naam jap, look: devotees have experienced joy even in the greatest situations of sorrow.

God's grace is great. See, this is the fruit of positive thinking: even in the greatest calamity and sorrow, when they are spoken to, they say, "God's grace is great." That means that even in sorrow, by experiencing God's grace, they are becoming happy. And here, even in happiness there is fear, that some fear may come. If the tendency of doubt arises, that is the impurity of the mind. To make it pure, do naam jap and charity.

Now, from Punjab: Shri Ji Maharaj Ji, millions of salutations at your feet. Gurudev Bhagwan, as you say, when one person in a family attains God, 21 generations are liberated.

So Maharaj Ji, what is the meaning of this? Maharaj Ji, attaining God is a very difficult thing. Being liberated (kalyan) is a different matter. Brother, when it says 21 generations, it means their welfare, that they are not reborn. Yes, then, it won't be definite. There is no doubt in this.

Look, in Indian facilities, for example, when some senior officer exists, his parents can travel free by rail. His family members get these facilities, don't they? So when the law, our Government of India, gives so many facilities to family members, brother, if a son has a job, why would the parents not travel? They say, "No, there is a facility." When are facilities not given to the family? So God has given this facility: if one devotee rises up, attains God, and realises God, then 14 generations ahead and seven generations behind, 14 and 7, 21 generations, are liberated. But this is for one who has attained God; they are speaking for those who turn a few malas. If someone attains God, and it happens in their lineage, then they are liberated, they carry the worlds across. It is a great thing, isn't it?

The scriptures say: "Blessed is that family, the mother is fulfilled.."
kulam pavitram janani kritarth shastr kahte hain
The scriptures say that the family becomes sacred and the mother fulfilled.

wo kul so kul dhanya umasun jagat pujya supneet shri Raghuvirr paraayan je jan upaj vineet
Blessed is that family, O Uma, worthy of the world's worship and most pure, where a humble person is born who is devoted to Shri Raghuvir.

When a humble devotee of God is born, and that family realises God, that family becomes worthy of the world's worship.

aho supachto gar yyaa warte naam tyam
Oh, even one born as an outcast, whose tongue holds the name..

Even if he is a chandal, even if he is a lowly svapach, if the name of God is on his tongue and he constantly does naam jap, he is worthy of the world's worship. He is the highest in the world.

naam prasang kahat updesh jaya dharm dhanya so desh dhanya so kul ja janm bhyo dhanya su tat dhanya so may santat sakal suno chit laye shri Harivansh pratap jai naam japak
Speaking of the naam, this is the teaching: blessed is that dharma, blessed is that country, blessed is that family, blessed is the birth, blessed is the father, blessed is the mother. Listen with an attentive mind always to the glory of Shri Harivansh. Victory to the one who does naam jap.

The child who does jap: then that country is blessed, that family is blessed, that mother is blessed, that father is blessed. They become blessed, blessed, blessed. But the true devotee of God, born in whose family, is written about in the line "kulam pavitram janani krit.."

Yes, Renu ji from Mathura. Radhe Radhe-Radhe, Maharaj Ji. Maharaj Ji, if I do naam jap or puja-path while following pativrata dharma and wishing for unbroken marital happiness (akhand suhag), will I attain God?

Absolutely, it will happen. Absolutely, it will happen. Absolutely, it will happen. And God will also protect your husband's life, because there is great strength in bhajan, great strength in austerity, and great strength in self-restraint.

Maharaj Ji, they have one more question. Maharaj Ji, the mothers and sisters who wear the ghunghat: is there any religious belief behind it, or is it a rural custom for pure conduct?

It is not a religious or scriptural belief. The ghunghat is said so that we do not reveal our beauty (roop darshan), and so that we do not hastily gaze upon anyone.

Women's purity was once held in great honour. Nowadays you don't see all of this, but in the villages the elderly mothers still do it. In a good household, when the elders used to come, [clearing throat] someone would call out, "Grandfather has come!", and everyone would still draw their ghunghat. Even today, in the villages, that is still the custom, isn't it? So look at how much purity there was. The revered elders used to warn everyone so that if the mothers and sisters were careless, they would become alert, so that no one would look at their limbs or even their faces. In the villages it was such that after someone died, when people went to console the family, they would say, "Friend, we saw your daughter-in-law today, otherwise we would never have seen her." And look, this was also the case in the time of Maryada Purushottam Lord Shri Ram. At that time, Sita Ji's hair ornaments and other jewellery were shown to Lakshman Ji, to confirm that they were Sita Ji's ornaments. When Sugriva Ji gave them in Kishkindha, they had been dropped by Sita Ji from the aircraft above. Then the Lord said, "Devar (brother-in-law), if these were ornaments from Mother's feet, you would be able to tell me."

Brother-in-law, if they were ornaments from Mother's feet, I could tell you. We never looked at Mother's feet like that. The meaning is that the younger brother regarded his elder brother's wife as a mother, and the elder brother regarded his younger brother's wife as a daughter. Today such demons keep being born, who are ready to commit misconduct even with their own children. Then, daughters-in-law and daughters: all of this is a symbol of great purity. But this is not a scriptural rule. There is no such command in the scriptures. This is village custom.

Some village customs have been followed for thousands of years. Now the times have become very bad, and we are having to bear the consequences of that. Are we not having to bear it? Friend, boyfriend: is this belief anywhere? Oh, in the villages the elders used to arrange marriages, and afterwards the bride and groom would see each other: "This is our bride, this is our groom." Otherwise, with the ghunghat drawn [clearing throat], you would only find out that she was your bride after arriving at the house. And nowadays marriages take place after live-in relationships. If they don't, then what purity is left? In earlier times, people got married and came home, and the bride and groom did not meet beforehand.

They worshipped the deities of the whole village. After taking the blessings of the elders and of everyone, they then entered the householder's dharma.

Maharaj Ji, here is another question about household life. Maharaj Ji, you say that you love your parents very much and regard them as above everything in the world. But I love my wife very much too. However, there is no good harmony between my wife and my parents, Maharaj Ji. In this situation, how should I keep both? Should I give priority to my parents? Because the spouse is one's own limb, and the parents are the ones who gave us birth. So, to my wife, I would say: "You don't have to serve my parents." I accept that, but you cannot stop me. I will give you my comfort and my convenience, but if you object even slightly to my serving our parents, there will be opposition in our relationship.

One cannot abandon one's parents. This must be in you. If it is not, and someone abandons their parents at their wife's word, then what is left? Then there is no heroism left in dharma. This should not happen. If a girl has the attitude, "You love us, so you should abandon your parents," then she should be told to be ready, ready for sacrifice. The day you obstruct our parents' service, that very day the relationship between us will be broken. And if you serve our parents, we will love you more than our own life. If you don't, we will give you your rights, but you cannot stop us from going to serve them. This much must remain: parents are the form of God, and a son has the full right to serve his parents. So be sure to keep this in mind:

bhoktuvi kritam karm shubhashbham

Whatever action one has done, good or bad, its fruit must be borne.

Whoever does such karma, God will give them its fruit, and they will have to bear it. So be very careful and never make a mistake. Don't, under the influence of your wife, beat your old parents or throw them out of the house. Never behave like that. Tell your wife: "You may do it or not, we are not pressuring you, but you cannot pressure us into being deprived of serving our parents." Maharaj Ji, if the parents are somewhat different in their behaviour and behave very wrongly, then they should consider that old age is approaching. If they become excessively unruly, they will meet with a terrible fate.

Daughters-in-law and sons should be treated like one's own son and daughter. Behave with a little loving kindness, so that at least they get their tea and breakfast. If the parents are capable, and they do not let the daughter-in-law and son serve them, and they are jealous of the daughter-in-law and son, then the son should keep watching from a distance. He need not go to serve them. But the day they reach a state where they are no longer able to look after themselves, then even if they hurl abuse, he should serve them. Even then, the parents should be served, because they are elders.

After 60 or 70, their mental state deteriorates. If they abuse or criticise, we should not take that to heart. We must serve them. And if they are healthy and can look after themselves, eating and drinking, then keep watching from a distance. If they are eating, drinking and happy, that is fine. Maharaj Ji, if there are two or three sons, yes, then all of the sons should share the responsibility of serving their parents. All the sons should take a share, and serve in turn, one after another. If none of the three is willing, then at least one of them should be ready, friend.

What is lost by feeding aged parents? The giver is God, and He gives very generously. When someone serves his mother and father, God is pleased with him, because God is pleased by dharma. Look, when Pundarik ji served his parents, did Lord Vitthal not come in person to give darshan in Maharashtra, or did He not come? The one who serves his mother and father is certain to attain God.

Sudhir Kumar ji from Mathura: Radhe Radhe, Maharaj Ji. Maharaj Ji, your discourses are watched and heard by young men and women and people of every kind across the country.

Their influence is also spreading widely. Maharaj Ji, young people are correcting themselves by giving up bad company. Gurudev, we all offer you crores of prostrations, Maharaj Ji.

Gurudev, what kind of bhakti and bhajan should we do in life? We live as householders, in our conduct and in our jobs. How can we attain the direct darshan of the Lord? Bhakti takes different forms. It is not the same for every person, because people are in different positions and engaged in different duties, so their bhakti takes a different form.

Now, for someone in your position, if we said that you should sit for six hours turning the mala, that would be wrong advice. For you, it is this: whenever you are called, at any hour of the night or at any time of the morning, even at brahma muhurta, if they say "Brother, after doing your duty, come at brahma muhurta," the phone will ring then. You should go and be present at your post. That is how you should walk and move. For you, the practice is to do naam jap while walking, rising, and sitting. And the most important thing is this: do not spare the irreligious person, and do not punish the religious person. This is the special point.

Bhakti has different forms. If the lure of money, or the fear of an officer, makes you do something wrong, that we must not do. So, now, when a senior officer or the lure of money tries to make us commit adharma, we must not let it happen. I came to know about this senior officer because an officer once came here and spoke. We said, "Brother, the video is running. What are you saying?" He said, "I have been suspended three times. They may throw me out of the job. I do not care about that at all. I can no longer do adharma."

Ever since I heard your discourse, he said, "I can no longer do adharma." In the village language, we call it bribe. Nobody can make us do something wrong by paying a bribe. Nor can any officer make us do something wrong through a lure or a threat. We will not do that. Our department and the law instruct us, and within the authority we have been given, we should punish the guilty according to the law and protect the innocent, and chant the name of the Lord. This itself is bhakti. Because if you are sitting and bathing Thakur Ji and a call comes, you will have to leave everything and run. So the greatest bhakti for you is to conduct yourself, within the authority your position in national service gives you, and to sustain your life with the salary paid by the government.

We do not want bribes. We do not want any work through which we become adharmic. I have seen this, and I will tell you the truth: those who behave wrongly, their families are affected by it. Their children, their family, everything is destroyed, even if they arrange all kinds of comforts. If an innocent man is punished and his curse falls upon you, you can never flourish. So do not spare the guilty, however much money they offer, and do not punish the innocent. Just this is the greatest bhakti. Chant the name, and if you have impure conduct, such as eating meat or drinking liquor, give those things up. If you live like this, then turning the mala is not the greatest bhakti for you. Stay at your post, sit in worship and prayer, chant the name, and keep yourself away from fear and temptation. Through this alone there will be auspiciousness.

Suresh Swami ji from Meerut: Radhe Radhe, Maharaj Ji. Please accept my crores of prostrations at your feet. Maharaj Ji, birth and death are fixed from before. Then what is the meaning of untimely death? When sin increases, more and more sin, untimely death comes. Just as the time of our birth and death is fixed, a person can die in youth, or die in old age. But the sudden untimely death, the one who has accumulated great sin, a grave sin, has that sin cut short his life immediately and destroy it. So, so that no one has the yoga of untimely death, one should drink the charanamrit of the Lord every day.

The effect of the Lord's charanamrit is this:

akaal mrityu harnam sarwavyad vinashnam shri Krishna padodkam pitwa punarjanma na vidyate

It removes untimely death and destroys all afflictions. By drinking the water that washed Shri Krishna's feet, there is no rebirth.

If one drinks the charanamrit of Shaligram Bhagwan every day, like that of Radha Vallabh ji or Banke Bihari ji, takes charanamrit from them, mixes water into it, and takes one spoonful of charanamrit daily, then there will be no untimely death.

akaal mrityu harnam sarv vyadhi vinashnam

It removes untimely death and destroys all diseases. It also gives the power to subdue all illnesses, and it awakens the longing to attain the Lord. Whoever drinks charanamrit every day can never have an untimely death.

No disease can trouble him. There may be illness in the body, but it cannot trouble him. And when his body is laid down, there will be no next birth. He will reach such a state that the memory of the Lord comes to him at the final moment, if he drinks charanamrit regularly and with discipline.

akaal mrityu harnam sarwavyadh vinashnam shri Krishna padodkam pitwa punarjanma na vidyate

It removes untimely death and destroys all afflictions. By drinking the water that washed Shri Krishna's feet, there is no rebirth.

Whoever drinks the Lord's charanamrit every day does not take rebirth, does not die an untimely death, and no disease can overpower him. Otherwise, sins get committed by us in such ways.

Now, for example, there is the killing in the womb (abortion), the killing of an unborn child, the killing of a woman, the killing of an elderly person. There are many such killings. There are many sins that become great sins, and a life is ruined. Nowadays people don't even think that a sin is being committed. So wherever a sin takes hold, there will be misery in this lifetime, and when they take birth in the next life, their misery will be immense. Now, even if they are not committing any sin at that moment, one feels, "Look, how much suffering this man has. But this is the same man. If the whole scene were shown to him, it would be right, and indeed this is how it should be for him."

So the punishment one receives, you know: burned alive, crushed under a truck. All of that is the same. Now, in this life they come around as good people. Even though they are not committing any sin, the sin of the past will crush them, it will burn them. So when any great sin is formed, it even brings about an untimely death.
