Text

In his own book, known as NÄrada PañcarÄtra, BhagavÄn NÄrada has very vividly described how to work to achieve the ultimate goal of life — devotion — through knowledge and through execution of the mystic yoga system. He has also described the glories of the Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The great sage NÄrada instructed the tenets of this transcendental literature to SÄvarṇi Manu in order to teach those inhabitants of BhÄrata-vará¹£a who strictly follow the principles of varṇÄÅ›rama-dharma how to achieve the devotional service of the Lord. Thus NÄrada Muni, along with the other inhabitants of BhÄrata-vará¹£a, always engages in the service of Nara-NÄrÄyaṇa, and he chants as follows.

Purport

ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu has clearly declared:

bhÄrata-bhÅ«mite haila manuá¹£ya-janma yÄra
 janma sÄrthaka kari’ kara para-upakÄra

The real success or fulfillment of the mission of human life can be achieved in India, BhÄrata-vará¹£a, because in BhÄrata-vará¹£a the purpose of life and the method for achieving success are evident. People should take advantage of the opportunity afforded by BhÄrata-vará¹£a, and this is especially so for those who are following the principles of varṇÄÅ›rama-dharma. If we do not take to the principles of varṇÄÅ›rama-dharma by accepting the four social orders (brÄhmaṇa, ká¹£atriya, vaiÅ›ya and śūdra) and the four orders of spiritual life (brahmacÄrÄ«, gá¹›hastha, vÄnaprastha and sannyÄsa), there can be no question of success in life. Unfortunately, because of the influence of Kali-yuga, everything is now being lost. The inhabitants of BhÄrata-vará¹£a are gradually becoming degraded mlecchas and yavanas. How then will they teach others? Therefore, this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement has been started not only for the inhabitants of BhÄrata-vará¹£a but for all the people of the world, as announced by ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu. There is still time, and if the inhabitants of BhÄrata-vará¹£a take this movement of Kṛṣṇa consciousness seriously, the entire world will be saved from gliding down to a hellish condition. The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement follows the process of pañcarÄtrika-vidhi and that of bhÄgavata-vidhi simultaneously, so that people can take advantage of the movement and make their lives successful.
