A class on Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.21 given by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on December 12, 1970 in Indore, India.

Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.21

kānyakubje dvijaḥ kaścid

 dāsī-patir ajāmilaḥ

nāmnā naṣṭa-sadācāro

 dāsyāḥ saṁsarga-dūṣitaḥ

In the city known as Kānyakubja there was a brāhmaṇa named Ajāmila who married a prostitute maidservant and lost all his brahminical qualities because of the association of that low-class woman.

A class on Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.19 given by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on November 15, 1970 in Mumbai, India.

Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.19

sakṛn manaḥ kṛṣṇa-padāravindayor

 niveśitaṁ tad-guṇa-rāgi yair iha

na te yamaṁ pāśa-bhṛtaś ca tad-bhaṭān

 svapne ’pi paśyanti hi cīrṇa-niṣkṛtāḥ

Although not having fully realized Kṛṣṇa, persons who have even once surrendered completely unto His lotus feet and who have become attracted to His name, form, qualities and pastimes are completely freed of all sinful reactions, for they have thus accepted the true method of atonement. Even in dreams, such surrendered souls do not see Yamarāja or his order carriers, who are equipped with ropes to bind the sinful.

A class on Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.14 given by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada on November 6, 1970 in Mumbai, India.

Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.13-14

tapasā brahmacaryeṇa

 śamena ca damena ca

tyāgena satya-śaucābhyāṁ

 yamena niyamena vā

deha-vāg-buddhijaṁ dhīrā

 dharmajñāḥ śraddhayānvitāḥ

kṣipanty aghaṁ mahad api

 veṇu-gulmam ivānalaḥ

To concentrate the mind, one must observe a life of celibacy and not fall down. One must undergo the austerity of voluntarily giving up sense enjoyment. One must then control the mind and senses, give charity, be truthful, clean and nonviolent, follow the regulative principles and regularly chant the holy name of the Lord. Thus a sober and faithful person who knows the religious principles is temporarily purified of all sins performed with his body, words and mind. These sins are like the dried leaves of creepers beneath a bamboo tree, which may be burned by fire although their roots remain to grow again at the first opportunity.

Srimad Bhagavatam 6.1.6

adhuneha mahā-bhāga

 yathaiva narakān naraḥ

nānogra-yātanān neyāt

 tan me vyākhyātum arhasi

O greatly fortunate and opulent Śukadeva Gosvāmī, now kindly tell me how human beings may be saved from having to enter hellish conditions in which they suffer terrible pains.
