Guest guest Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 The Krishna-conscious demon Vritaasura speaks to his soldiers: dvau sammataaviha mR^ityuu duraapau yad brahmasandhaaraNayaa jitaasuH | kalevara.m yogarato vijahyaad yad agraNiir viirashaye 'nivR^ittaH || bhaa 6.10.33 || There are two ways to meet a glorious death, and both are very rare. One is to die after performing mystic yoga, especially bhakti-yoga, by which one can control the mind and living force and die absorbed in thought of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The second is to die on the battlefield, leading the army and never showing one's back. These two kinds of death are recommended in the shaastra as glorious.
