 Ära dina - the next day; keha - all of them; tÄra - of the dog; dekhÄ nÄ pÄilÄ - did not get sight; siddha-deha pÄÃ±Ä - obtaining a spiritual body; kukkura - the dog; vaikuṇṭhete gelÄ - went to the spiritual kingdom, Vaikuṇṭha.


Text

The next day, no one saw that dog, for it had obtained its spiritual body and departed for Vaikuṇṭha, the spiritual kingdom.

This is the result of sÄdhu-saá¹…ga — consequent association with ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu and promotion back home, back to Godhead. This result is possible even for a dog, by the mercy of the Vaiṣṇava. Therefore, everyone in the human form of life should be induced to associate with devotees. By rendering a little service, even by eating prasÄdam, what to speak of chanting and dancing, everyone can be promoted to Vaikuṇṭhaloka. It is therefore requested that all our devotees in the ISKCON community become pure Vaiṣṇavas, so that by their mercy all the people of the world will be transferred to Vaikuṇṭhaloka, even without their knowledge. Everyone should be given a chance to take prasÄdam and thus be induced to chant the holy names Hare Kṛṣṇa and also dance in ecstasy. By these three processes, although performed without knowledge or education, even an animal went back to Godhead.
