गङ्गाद्वारमुपेयाय मुक्तसर्वानुबन्धनः ॥३९॥
iti jÄta-sunirvedaḥ
ká¹£aṇa-saá¹…gena sÄdhuá¹£u
gaá¹…gÄ-dvÄram upeyÄya
mukta-sarvÄnubandhanaḥ
iti - thus; jÄta-sunirvedaḥ - (AjÄmila) who had become detached from the material conception of life; ká¹£aṇa-saá¹…gena - by a moment's association; sÄdhuá¹£u - with devotees; gaá¹…gÄ-dvÄram - to Hardwar (hari-dvÄra), the doorway to Hari (because the Ganges begins there, Hardwar is also called gaá¹…gÄ-dvÄra); upeyÄya - went; mukta - being freed from; sarva-anubandhanaḥ - all kinds of material bondage.
Because of a moment’s association with devotees [the ViṣṇudÅ«tas], AjÄmila detached himself from the material conception of life with determination. Thus freed from all material attraction, he immediately started for Hardwar.
The word mukta-sarvÄnubandhanaḥ indicates that after this incident, AjÄmila, not caring for his wife and children, went straight to Hardwar for further advancement in his spiritual life. Our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement now has centers in Vá¹›ndÄvana and NavadvÄ«pa so that those who want to live a retired life, whether they be devotees or not, can go there and with determination give up the bodily concept of life. One is welcome to live in those holy places for the rest of his life in order to achieve the highest success by the very simple method of chanting the holy name of the Lord and taking prasÄda. Thus one may return home, back to Godhead. We do not have a center in Hardwar, but Vá¹›ndÄvana and ÅšrÄ«dhÄma MÄyÄpur are better for devotees than any other places. The Caitanya Candrodaya temple offers one a good opportunity to associate with devotees. Let us all take advantage of this opportunity.
