Look at these verses from Bhagavatha, EthadEva hi dEvA gAya.nthi: " The heavenly Gods sing " ahO ameeSham. kimakAri shoBanam prasanna ESham svidhutha svyam harih yairjanmam labdham nruShu BhaarathaajerE mukundasEvaupayikam spruhaa hi na: what are the deeds they have done because of which Hari(Lord Narayana) is so much pleased, what are the good deeds they have done because of which they could get birth in Bhaarathavarsha and could serve Hari? let us pray Lord so that we can also do the same thing. kim. dhuShkaraira nah krathubhi thapOvrathai: dhaanaadhiBhirvA dhyUjayEna Phalgunaa ; na yathra narayana padha pa.mkaja- smruthih pramushtAthishayE.dhriyoothsavaath. " after performing yagna,thapassu, fasting,sacrifice and many more what benefit we have got by attaing this meagre heaven? here(in heaven) because of sensual pleasures we are forgetting that Lord Narayana paada pa.mkaja. kalpaayusham sThaanajayAth punarBhavaath kShanaayusham BhaarathabhuujayO varam ; kShaNena marthyEna krutham manasvinah sanyasya samyA.mthyaBhayam padam hareh: A few moments of leaving in Bhaaratha is enough for a saadhaka insted of thousands of years of living in these heavens. Because, people in Bharatah can attain fearless state in God and the bravemen can easily detach from this mortal bodily pleasures. ( I have translated it to English from my mother tounge kannada, please pardon for errors) The Gods themselves were willing to take birth in India so that they can get control over there senses and realise the Lord. And now as you have said, Bollywood culture is sweeping the country and lust and unholiness is eating into and destroying the vitality of nation. sarvam vasudevamayam jagath Prashanth Spot the hottest trends in music, movies, and more. http://buzz./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
