MahÄrÄja Khaá¹vÄá¹…ga, being in favor of the brahminical culture, wanted to utilize one moment’s time by fully surrendering unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The Lord is worshiped with this prayer:
namo brÄhmaṇya-devÄya
go brÄhmaṇa-hitÄya ca
jagad-dhitÄya kṛṣṇÄya
govindÄya namo namaḥ
“I offer my respectful obeisances to the Supreme Absolute Truth, Kṛṣṇa, who is the well-wisher of the cows and the brÄhmaṇas as well as the living entities in general. I offer my repeated obeisances to Govinda, who is the pleasure reservoir for all the senses.†A devotee of Kṛṣṇa is very much attached to brahminical culture. Indeed, an expert personality who knows who Kṛṣṇa is and what He wants is a real brÄhmaṇa. Brahma jÄnÄtÄ«ti brÄhmaṇaḥ. Kṛṣṇa is the Parabrahman, and therefore all Kṛṣṇa conscious persons, or devotees of Kṛṣṇa, are exalted brÄhmaṇas. Khaá¹vÄá¹…ga MahÄrÄja regarded the devotees of Kṛṣṇa as the real brÄhmaṇas and the real light for human society. One who desires to advance in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and spiritual understanding must give the utmost importance to brahminical culture and must understand Kṛṣṇa (kṛṣṇÄya govindÄya). Then his life will be successful.
