“Let the twice-born enter the fearless kingdom of

yoga, vedic study, and solitary meditation in the

forest. Let them become liberated in that way. As for

us, we will spend hundreds of thousands of births

chanting the holy name of lord kR^iSNa, whose splendid

dark complexion and yellow garments are like a host of

blue lotus flowers blooming in a grove of

yellow-flower-bearing kadamba trees.” - shrI ishvara purI
