Guest guest Posted October 31, 2003 Report Share Posted October 31, 2003 bhaktyavesya mano yasmin vaca yan-nama kirtayan tyajan kalevaram yogi mucyate kama-karmabhih "The Personality of Godhead, who appears in the mind of the devotee by attentive devotion and meditation and by chanting of the holy name, releases the devotee from the bondage of fruitive activities at the time of his quitting the material body." PURPORT(Excerpt):Yoga means concentration of the mind detached from all other subject matter. And actually such concentration is 'samadhi' or cent percent engagement in the service of the Lord. And one who concentrates his attention in that manner is called a 'yogi'. Such a perfect yogi is enabled by the divine grace of the Lord to concent- rate his mind upon the Lord with a perfect sense of consciousness, and thus by chanting His holy name before quitting the body the yogi is at once transferred by the internal energy of the Lord to one of the eternal planets where there is no question of material life and its conmitant factors.
