tasmÄt - therefore; daiva-upapannena - obtainable very easily by the grace of the Lord; muni-annena - with food (prepared in ghee and offered to the Supreme Lord); api - indeed; dharma-vit - one who is actually advanced in religious principles; santuá¹£á¹aḥ - very happily; ahaḥ ahaḥ - day after day; kuryÄt - one should perform; nitya-naimittikīḥ - regular and occasional; kriyÄḥ - duties.
The word dharmavit, meaning “one who knows the actual purpose of religion,†is very significant. As explained in Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ (18.66), sarva-dharmÄn parityajya mÄm ekaá¹ Å›araṇaá¹ vraja: becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious is the topmost stage in understanding of religious principles. One who reaches this stage performs the arcanÄ process in devotional service. Anyone, whether a gá¹›hastha or a sannyÄsÄ«, can keep small Deities of the Lord suitably packed or, if possible, installed, and thus worship the Deities of RÄdhÄ-Kṛṣṇa, SÄ«tÄ-RÄma, Laká¹£mÄ«-NÄrÄyaṇa, Lord JagannÄtha or ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu by offering food prepared in ghee and then offering the sanctified prasÄda to the forefathers, demigods and other living entities as a matter of routine daily work. All the centers of our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement have Deity worship programs very nicely going on in which food is offered to the Deity and distributed to the first-class brÄhmaṇas and Vaiṣṇavas and even to the people in general. This performance of sacrifice brings complete satisfaction. The members of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement engage daily in such transcendental activities. Thus in our Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement there is no question at all of killing animals.
