All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thankyou for your question cited below with my comments. > Dear Gurudeva, > > Please accept my respectful obeisances. > All glories to Srila Prabhupada. > > In Bg 2.22 p, Srila Prabhupada says, "One who lays down his life on the > sacrificial altar, or in the proper battlefield, is at once cleansed of > bodily reactions and promoted to a higher status of life." > I have heard human sacrifice described in other cultures, but I thought it > was pretty much worship in the mode of ignorance. Is it actually Vedic, > and if so is there a Kali Yuga equivalent, eg sankirtana yajna to cleanse > one of bodily reactions? > > your servant, > Deva Gaura Hari Das > This doesn't refer to a human sacrifice, but dedicating one's life in devotional service as a sacrifice for the pleasure of Guru & Gauranga! I hope that this finds you in good health. Your ever well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
