Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 sandhiyamana etasmin maya guhyaka-nirmitah kshipram vinesur vidura klesa jnanodaye yatha SYNONYMS sandhiyamane -- while joining to his bow; etasmin -- this nararayanastra; mayah -- the illusions; guhyaka-nirmitah -- created by the Yakshas; kshipram -- very soon; vinesuh -- were destroyed; vidura -- O Vidura; klesah -- illusory pains and pleasures; jnana-udaye -- upon the arising of knowledge; yatha -- just as. TRANSLATION As soon as Dhruva Maharaja joined the narayanastra arrow to his bow, the illusion created by the Yakshas was immediately vanquished, just as all material pains and pleasures are vanquished when one becomes fully cognizant of the self. PURPORT Krishna is like the sun, and maya, or the illusory energy of Krishna, is like darkness. Darkness means absence of light; similarly, maya means absence of Krishna consciousness. Krishna consciousness and maya are always there, side by side. As soon as there is awakening of Krishna consciousness, all the illusory pains and pleasures of material existence are vanquished. Mayam etam taranti te: [bg. 7.14] constant chanting of the maha-mantra will keep us always aloof from the illusory energy of maya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
