Further Instructions To Mother Devahuti

Lord Kapila
The Personality of Godhead said: The person
who centralizes his household life derives material
benefits by performing religious rituals, and thereby
he fulfills his desire for economic development and
sense gratification. Continuously he acts in the same
way. Such persons are ever bereft of devotional
service due to being too attached to sense gratification.
Therefore, although they perform various kinds of
sacrifices and take great vows to satisfy the demigods
and forefathers, they are not interested in Krishna
consciousness, devotional service. Such materialistic
persons, attracted by sense gratification and devoted
to the forefathers and demigods, can be elevated to the
moon, where they drink an extract of the soma plant.
Upon the depletion of their piety, they again return to
this planet.
The planets which are destination of these
materialistic people, including all the heavenly planets,
such as the moon, are all destroyed when the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, Hari, rests on His serpent bed,
Ananta Sesha.
Those who are intelligent and endowed with pure
mind are completely satisfied in Krishna consciousness.
Freed from the modes of material nature, they do
not act for sense gratification. Rather they act as one
is expected to act, being situated in their individual
occupational duties. By complete purification of
consciousness, achieved through executing ones

nitya bhgavata-sevay
occupational duties with detachment and without a
sense of proprietorship or false ego, one is posted in
one's constitutional position. Thus, even by executing
so-called material duties he can easily enter into the
kingdom of God.
The complete Personality of Godhead, who is
the proprietor of the material and spiritual worlds
and is the supreme cause of their manifestation and
dissolution is approached by such liberated persons
following this path of illumination. Those who worship
the Hiranyagarbha expansion of the Personality of
Godhead, remain in this material world until the end
of two parrdhas, when Lord Brahma dies.
The material universe, empowered by the three
modes of material nature, and covered by layers of
earth, water, air, fire, ether, mind, ego, etc., is inhabitable
for a period of two parrdhas. At the duration of this
time period, Lord Brahma closes material universe
and goes back to Godhead. The yogs who become
detached from the material world by practice of
breathing exercises and control of the mind reach the
distant planet of Brahma. After giving up their material
bodies, they enter into the body of Lord Brahma. Later,
when Brahma is liberated and goes to the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, the Supreme Brahman,
such yogs can also enter into the kingdom of God.
Therefore, My dear mother, through devotional service
please take direct shelter of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead, who is seated in everyone's heart.
My dear mother, even demigods such as Lord
Brahma, great sages such as Sanat-kumara and great
munis such as Marichi have to come back to the
material world again at the time of creation due to their
misconceived self-interest. When the interaction of the
three modes of material nature begins, Brahma, who
is the creator of this cosmic manifestation and who is
full of Vedic knowledge, and the great sages, who are
the authors of the spiritual path and the yoga system,
come back under the influence of the time factor. They
are liberated by their non-fruitive activities and they
attain the first incarnation of the purua. However, at
the time of next creation they come back in exactly
the same forms and positions as they had previously
occupied.
Persons who are addicted to this material world
execute their prescribed duties diligently and
with great faith. They regularly perform all their
prescribed duties with attachment to the result. Due
to uncontrolled senses, such persons, impelled by
the mode of passion, are full of anxieties and always
aspire for sense gratification. They worship the
forefathers and busy themselves day and night in
improving the economic condition of their family,

nitya bhgavata-sevay
social or national life. Such persons are called traivargika because they are interested in the three
elevating processes. Unfortunately, they are averse to
the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who can give
relief to the conditioned soul. They are not interested
in His pastimes, which are worth hearing because of
His transcendental prowess. Due to their aversion
to the Lord, such persons are condemned by His
unsurpassable order-carriers. Because they are averse
to hearing the nectarine activities of the Supreme
Personality of Godhead, they are compared to stooleating hogs. They give up hearing the transcendental
activities of the Lord and instead indulge in hearing the
abominable activities of materialistic persons.
Such materialistic persons are allowed to go to the
planet called Pitrloka, situated on the southern section
of the suns path. However, they cannot stay there
permanently. They come back to this planet and take
birth in their previous families. Then they resume the
same fruitive activities as before and continue until the
end of their life. This is because when the results of their
pious activities are exhausted, they fall down from the
higher realms and again come back to this planet just as
any person raised to a high position sometimes all of a
sudden falls. This takes place by higher arrangement.
My dear mother, I therefore advise that you take shelter
of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for only His
lotus feet are meant for to be worshipped. Accept this
process with full dedication and love, for thus you can
be situated in transcendental devotional service.
Engagement in Krishna consciousness and
application of devotional service unto Krishna make it
possible to advance in knowledge and detachment, as
well as in self-realization. The mind of such an exalted
soul becomes equipoised in sensory activities, and he is
transcendental to the conceptions of favourable and not
favourable. Because of his transcendental intelligence,
the soul situated in pure devotion is equipoised in
his vision and sees himself to be uncontaminated by
matter. He does not see anything as superior or inferior,
and he realizes himself as being equal in qualities with
the Supreme Person.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead alone is
complete transcendental knowledge. According
to the different processes of understanding He
appears differently, either as impersonal Brahman, as
Paramatma, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead
or as the purua-avatra. The greatest common
understanding of all the practitioners of these different
processes is complete detachment from matter, which
is ultimately achieved by all of them.
Those who are averse to the Transcendence realize
that Supreme Absolute Truth differently through

top right 3

Issue no 34, Page3

speculative sense perception. Therefore, because of

mistaken speculation, to them, everything appears to
be relative. From the total energy, the mahat-tattva, the
Supreme Lord has manifested the false ego, the three
modes of material nature, the five material elements,
the individual consciousness, the eleven senses and the
material body. In this way, the entire universe has come
from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Perfect
knowledge of all this can be achieved by a person who
is engaged in devotional service with faith, steadiness
and full detachment, and who, being aloof from
material association, is always absorbed in thoughts of
the Supreme.
My dear respectful mother, I have already described
the path of understanding the Absolute Truth, by which
one can come to understand the real truth of matter,
and spirit, and their relationship. Philosophical research
culminates in understanding the Supreme Personality
of Godhead. After achieving this understanding, when
one becomes free from the material modes of nature, he
attains the stage of devotional service. Thus the ultimate
goal for both methods, is the Supreme Personality of
Godhead. One may achieve this goal by the direct
method of devotional service or the indirect method of
philosophical research.
A single object is appreciated differently by different
senses due to its having different qualities. Similarly,
the Supreme Personality of Godhead is one, but
according to different scriptural injunctions He appears
to be different. One who achieves perfection in his
transcendental method will realize the Supreme
Personality of Godhead as He is represented in the
material world as well as in transcendence. These
methods are fruitive activities and sacrifices, distributing
charity, performing austerities, studying various
Vedic literatures, conducting philosophical research,
controlling the mind, subduing the senses, accepting the
renounced order of life and performing the prescribed
duties of one's social order. One may also achieve
perfection by following the different divisions of yoga
practice, understanding the science of self-realization,
developing a strong sense of renunciation, performing
devotional service and executing varnashrama dharma
with spiritual attachment and material detachment.
My dear mother, I have explained to you the process
of devotional service and its identity in four different
social divisions and how eternal time is imperceptibly
pursuing the living entities. There are various
destinations in the material world which the living
entity achieves according to the work he performs in
ignorance or forgetfulness of his real identity. My dear
mother, if anyone enters into that forgetfulness, he is
unable to understand where his movements will end.

This instruction is not meant for the envious, the

agnostics or those who are unclean in their behavior.
Nor is it for hypocrites or those who are proud of
material possessions. It is not to be instructed to
persons who are greedy, attached to family life,
who are not devoted and who are envious of the
Personality of Godhead and His devotees. Instruction
should be given to the faithful and respectful devotee,
the non-envious, those who are friendly to all living
entities and those who are eager to render service with
faith and sincerity. This instruction should be imparted
by the spiritual master to persons who have taken
the Supreme Personality of Godhead as the most
dear of all, who are not envious of anyone, who are
completely purified and who are detached from all
that is outside Krishna consciousness.
Anyone who once meditates upon Me with faith
and affection, who chants and hears about Me, surely
goes back home, back to Godhead.

Devahuti Attains The Supreme Perfection

Sri Maitreya i
After hearing from Lord Kapila, Mother Devahuti
became free from all ignorance. She offered her
obeisance and then pleased her son by offering Him
the following prayers.
Devahuti said, My dear Lord, although You are the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, You have taken birth
from my womb. Since the entire creation is contained
by Your abdomen at the time of devastation, one may
wonder how You could appear before me in this form.
It is possible because at the end of the millennium, You
lie upon a banyan leaf and in the form of a small baby
You lick the toe of Your lotus foot. In other words, You
are perfectly free to act in any way You so desire.
My dear Lord, to say nothing of the spiritual
advancement of those who see You eye to eye,
even those who are born in the family of dog-eaters
immediately become qualified to perform Vedic
sacrifices if they once utter Your holy name, chant Your
glories, offer You obeisance, or even remember You.
How glorious are those whose tongues are engaged
in chanting Your holy name! Even if born in the family
of dog-eaters, such persons are worshipable. Such
chanters of Your holy name must have already executed
all kinds of austerities, performed fire sacrifices, bathed

nitya bhgavata-sevay
in all the holy places, studied the Vedas, and achieved
all the good manners of the Aryans.
In response to the glorification of Devahuti, Lord
Kapila spoke with satisfaction and gravity, My dear
mother, the path of self-realization I have taught you
is very easy, and by following it you will soon become
liberated, even while remaining in your present body.
In this way, you will ultimately reach Me in My eternal,
transcendental abode.
Having completed the duty of instructing His mother,
Lord Kapila took her permission and departed.
Devahuti remained in Kardamas ashrama, where she
practiced deep meditation upon the Lord in devotional
service. Due to bathing three times daily, her hair
gradually turned gray, and because of her severe
austerities, her body became thin.
The abode of Kardama, due to its great beauty,
was considered to be the flower crown of the River
Sarasvati. Because of Kardamas mystic power, even
the demigods in heaven envied his opulence. Inside
Kardamas palace, the couches were made of gold,
and the chairs were made of ivory and covered with
golden lace cloth. The walls were constructed from
first-class marble and inlaid with precious jewels. There
was no need for lighting, because the rays of those
jewels illuminated everything brightly. Surrounding
the household of Kardama were very beautiful gardens
that were filled with all varieties of flowers and fruit
trees.
When Devahuti enters these gardens to bathe in the
lotus ponds, the Gandharvas would sing of Kardamas
glories. In spite of possessing such opulence, Devahuti
gave up all bodily comforts and wore only torn cloths.
Her only regret - which was transcendental - was
that her son had left home, and thus she constantly
meditated upon Him in separation.
Following the instructions of Lord Kapila, Devahuti
easily gave up all material attachment. Thus attaining
purity of heart, she became freed from all material
pangs. Blissfully situated in meditative trance, she
completely forgot about her material body, just as a
person is no longer aware of his body while dreaming.
The Vidyadhara maidens who had been created by
Kardama were taking care of Devahuti. She was without
any anxiety. Thus she did not become emaciated.
Staying at Kardamas ashrama, known as Siddhapada,
Devahuti ultimately achieved the supreme perfection
of life, going back home, back to Godhead. The
material elements of her body transformed into water
which became one of the sacred rivers.
After leaving His mother, Lord Kapila travelled to
the northeast. As His journey progressed, the Apsaras,
Gandharvas, Caranas, and other celestial beings offered

nitya bhgavata-sevay

Issue no 34, Page5

Him prayers of glorification. Later retracing His steps,

Lord Kapila came to Ganga-sagara, where the Ganga
reaches the Bay of Bengal. At that place, the ocean
personified offered Him a place to reside. To this day,
Lord Kapila stays there, absorbed in meditative trance.
The acharyas of the Sankhya philosophical system
regularly worship Him there.

as Kapila Vaikuntha, to which Devahuti was promoted

to meet Kapila and reside there eternally, enjoying the
company of her transcendental son.

The Glories Of Vaikuntha Loka

Devahuti Attains Kapila Vaikuntha

His Divine Grace
A .C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
It is understood that Devahuti entered the planet
which is called Kapila Vaikuntha. There are innumerable
Vaikuntha planets predominated by the expansions
of Vishnu. All the Vaikuntha planets are known by a
particular name of Vishnu. As we understand from
Brahma-sahit, advaitam acyutam andim anantarpam [Bs. 5.33]. Ananta means "innumerable." The
Lord has innumerable expansions of His transcendental
form, and according to the different positions of
the symbolical representations in His four hands,
He is known as Narayana, Pradyumna, Aniruddha,
Vasudeva, etc. There is also a Vaikuntha planet known

Lord Shiva and Parvati describing

the glories of Vaikuntha to Narada
Sri Sanatana Goswami
Lord Shiva said: In Vaikuntha the residents have
sac-cid-nanda bodies and may avail themselves of
the supreme opulence of Lord Hari. They have saccid-nanda powers, equal to His. But the residents
of Vaikuntha do not like to accept such equality with
the Lord. They are satisfied simply to worship Lord
Hari with devotion. They travel freely wherever they
want, protecting and promoting the cause of the Lords
devotees and the Lords devotional service. Always
worshiping the Lord in Vaikuntha, they seem amused
by those who are merely liberated. The Vaikunthavss are always busy in various services, for which they
even take on forms like those of birds and trees. They
can always see Him in person, Lord Hari, who inspires

Issue no 34, Page 6

everyones pleasure and whose lotus feet are cared for
by the goddess of fortune. Their life in His company is
pure joy.
In Vaikuntha nothing exists but devotional service,
rendered through sakrtana and in many other
forms. It goes on incessantly, with great enthusiasm,
spreading the ecstasy of pure love. How amazing is
that supremely great ocean of transcendental bliss! The
bliss of Brahman cannot compare to even a fraction of
half a drop of it. That Vaikuntha world, its residents, and
everything there are blessed by the mercy of pure love
for the lotus feet of Krishna. As recipients of such mercy,
the divine residents of Vaikuntha are much greater than
I in many ways. How can I adequately describe their
glories? Though living within the material world, in
bodies composed of the five elements, persons expert
in relishing devotional service to the Lord are always
worshipable for persons like me. Such expert relishers
surrender themselves fully to the lotus feet of Sri Krishna.
Hoping to obtain exclusive love for Him, they abandon
their wealth, their families, and their very lives. They are
not interested in any of the means and ends of success,
in this world or the next. They have gone beyond
subservience to the rules that apply according to birth,
occupation, and spiritual status. Even if they have not
repaid their three debts and are therefore transgressing
Vedic principles, by the power of their devotion to Lord
Hari they are ever fearless. Greedy to taste the pleasure
of devotion to Him, they have no desire for anything
else. To them liberation, heaven, and hell all appear the
same. Truly I tell you, such devotees are as limitlessly
dear to me as the Supreme Lord Himself. My highest
ambition is to have their company.
In my opinion, dear Narada, anywhere such devotees
are found is actually Vaikuha-loka. Arguing against
this fact would be useless. Having drunk the nectar of
devotion to Krishna, those devotees forget their material
bodies and relationships. Thus even while living in
material bodies, they assume the transcendental nature
of eternity, knowledge, and bliss. But in Vaikuntha
devotees always relish ongoing pleasure pastimes
in the very company of the Lord. Therefore devotees
sometimes prefer to live there. That is why I say that the
residents of Vaikuntha are greater than everyone else.
As the objects of Krishnas special mercy, they are His
most beloved devotees.
Sri Parvati said: Furthermore, among them all, the
goddess r is famous as especially dear to the Lord.
She is indeed the ruling goddess of Vaikuntha and its
residents. Her mercy expands wherever she casts Her
sidelong glance. Thus the rulers of the various planets
obtain their powers, their knowledge, their detachment,
and their devotion. Ignoring people like you who

nitya bhgavata-sevay
worship Her with great respect, she vowed to undergo
severe penances to worship Her beloved Lord, even
though He was indifferent to Her. This most perfect of
chaste wives resides forever on His beautiful chest and
follows Him in all His incarnations.

Spiritual World

Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur

Is the spiritual world incomplete?
The storehouse of Vaikuntha is always complete. Lord
Sri Krishnachandra, the lovable object of all, constantly
invites the living entities to come through the open door
of that storehouse.
r Ka-sahit, Chapter 9

What is Vraja? What does Vraja mean?

The appearance of the truth of Vaikuntha in the pure
consciousness of the living entities of this world is called
Vraja. The word Vraja means to go.
r Ka-sahit, Chapter 5

Is Vaikuntha incomplete and limited?

Sad bhve pi vieasyasarva tan nitya-dhmani.
The splendor of the spiritual abode is established by
the quality of variegatedness. Although that splendor
is eternal, Vaikuntha is nevertheless non-dual and
constitutionally eternal, full of knowledge and bliss. The
material world however consists of dualities arising from
time, place, and circumstance. Being transcendental to
the material creation, Vaikuntha is without duality and
fault.
r Ka-sahit, Chapter 1

Are the descriptions about the spiritual world

concocted, having been derived from material
experience?
cic-chakti-nirmita sarva yad vaikuhe santanam
pratibhta prapace smin jaa-rpa malnvitam

Some people try to impose their material ideas on the

nature of Vaikuntha and thus they become overwhelmed
by prejudices. Later they try to establish their prejudices
by shrewd arguments. Their descriptions of Vaikuntha
and the pastimes of the Lord are material. These types
of conclusions arise only due to improper knowledge
of the Absolute Truth. Only those who have not deeply

nitya bhgavata-sevay
discussed spiritual topics will have the propensity to
rationalize in this way.
The doubtful hearts of the madhyama-adhikrs are
always swinging between the material and the spiritual
due to their being unable to completely enter into the
realm of the Absolute Truth. Actually, the variegatedness
seen in the material world is only a perverted reflection
of the spiritual world. The difference between the
material and spiritual worlds is this: In the spiritual
world, everything is blissful and faultless, whereas in
the material world everything is a temporary mixture
of happiness and distress, and full of impurities arising
from time and place. Therefore, the descriptions of the
spiritual world are not imitations of those of the material
world; rather they are describing the most coveted
ideals.
r Ka-sahit, Chapter 1

Are the pastimes, abode, and form of Krishna in

the spiritual world imaginary or transcendental?
Actual truth is spiritual truth. Variegatedness is
eternally present in it. By this feature the spiritual abode,
spiritual form, spiritual name, qualities, and pastimes
of Krishna are established. Only those who are selfrealized and who have no relationship with maya relish
His pastimes. The transcendental world, the abode for
performing pastimes, is made of touchstone, and the
forms of Krishna are all spiritual.
r Brahma-sahit 5/27

What is the spiritual world made of? What do

the desire trees and kmadhenu give?
Just as Maya builds this mundane universe with the
five material elements, so the spiritual (cit) potency has
built the spiritual world of transcendental gems. The
cintmai, which serves as material in the building of
the abode of the Supreme Lord of Goloka, is a far rarer
and more desirable entity than even the philosophers
stone. The desire-fulfilling trees (kalpa-vka) in the
material world yield only the fruits of piety, wealth,
fulfillment of desire and liberation; but those in the abode
of Krishna bestow innumerable fruits in the shape of
checkered(parakya-bhva) divine love. Similarly, the
kma-dhenu (cows yielding the fulfillment of desire)
give milk when they are milked; but the kma-dhenus
of Goloka pour forth oceans of milk in the shape of the
fountain of love showering transcendental bliss. That
milk does away with the hunger and thirst of all pure
devotees.
r Brahma-sahit 5/29

Can the living entity understand that the

Issue no 34, Page7

spiritual world exists within the material world
but remains untouched by matter?
Poor human understanding cannot possibly make
out how the extensive triquadrantal, which is beyond
human comprehension, can be accommodated in the
limited material universe of a uniquadrantal disclosure.
Gokula is a spiritual plane, hence its condescended
position in the region of material space, time, etc., is in
no way restricted but unlimitedly manifested with its full
boundless propriety.
r Brahma-sahit 5/2

Are all the ingredients of Gokula present in

Goloka?
The distinction of paramourship and concubinage,
the variegatedness of the respective rasas of all different
persons, the soil, water, river, hill, portico, bower, cows,
etc., all the features of Gokula exist in Goloka and are
disposed in an appropriate manner.
r Brahma-sahit 5/37

What is the difference between the nature of

the spiritual world and the material world?
In the transcendental realm there is no past and future
but only the unalloyed and immutable present time. In
the transcendental sphere there is no distinction between
the object and its qualities. There is also no such identity
as is found in the limited mundane region. Hence, those
qualities that seem to be apparently contradictory in
the light of mundane conception limited by time and
space, exist in agreeable and dainty concordance in the
spiritual realm.
r Brahma-sahit 5/33

What position do the devotees of different rasas

attain in the spiritual world?
In discussing rasa, we meet with five kinds of devotion
or service: nta or unattached, dsya or pertaining
to reverential willing service, sakhya or friendship,
vtsalya or parental love, and gra or juvenile love.
The devotees surcharged with the notion of their
respective service, serve Krishna eternally and
ultimately reach the goal of those ideals. They attain
the real nature of their respective rasas in its full glory.
They attain conveyances and seats befitting their sacred
service. They attain transcendental qualities, which, like
ornaments, enhance the beauty of their real nature.
Those who are adherents of nta-rasa attain the
region of Brahma-Paramatma, the seat of eternal peace.
Those of dsya-rasa get to Vaikuntha, the spiritual
majestic abode of Sri Narayaa. Those of sakhya,
vtsalya and gra-rasa attain Goloka-dhma,

Bhaktivinoda Thkura Translated by Srman Sarvabhavana Dasa
Edited by Srman Keshidamana dasa

How Can We Go Back To Godhead?

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur
Lord Sri Hari is the transcendental Absolute Truth
situated beyond the material creation. There is no way
to meet with that transcendental object, the Supreme
Lord, other than to hear about Him. Discussions about
Vaikuntha emanating from the lotus mouths of devotees,
have extraordinary potency. When these transcendental
sound vibrations enter our ears, our consciousness is
awakened and we become Krishna conscious. This is
because these vibrations descend from Vaikuntha into
this world to help us go back to Godhead. Discussions
about this material world only help us go to hell.
Sri Chaitanyacandra came to this world to tell us about
the realm of Vaikuntha. However, due to our misfortune,
the teachings of this most merciful personality do not
enter our ears. Those who are fortunate can understand
Mahaprabhus teachings. If we want to become
fortunate, we must develop the propensity to serve.
Then Vaikuntha topics and teachings will enter our ears
and we will understand them.
We must try to make spiritual advancement from
our present position by hearing enlivening discourses
from living sources, bona fide Vaishnavas. The moment
we stop hearing hari-kath from and real devotees,
the moment we stop serving them, the Lords illusory
energy, Maya, will immediately swallow us. Thus it is

nitya bhgavata-sevay

our duty to give attention to wherever actual hari-kath

is being discussed.
Our constitutional propensity will be revived if we
hear hari-kath from a living source through serviceinclined ears. Then we will be able to realize or see the
Supreme Lord in our purified hearts. We can realize
the Supreme Lord only by aural reception. Apart from
hearing, there is no way to go back to Godhead.
