Srimad BhagavatamReferences to text SB 1.2.17 |
SB 1.2.17: ÅšrÄ« Kṛṣṇa, the Personality of Godhead, who is the ParamÄtmÄ [Supersoul] in everyone’s heart and the benefactor of the truthful devotee, cleanses desire for material enjoyment from the heart of the devotee who has developed the urge to hear His messages, which are in themselves virtuous when properly heard and chanted.

| The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: Now hear, O son of Pá¹›thÄ, how by practicing yoga in full consciousness of Me, with mind attached to Me, you can know Me in full, free from doubt. Knowledge of the Absolute |
| BG 7.1 |
| Dear lord, you are situated in your pure existential position of goodness; therefore you are the perfect representative of the Supreme Lord. You are glorified by your own prowess, and thus you are maintaining the entire world by introducing brahminical culture and protecting everyone in your line of duty as a ká¹£atriya. Instructions by Maharaja Prithu |
| SB 4.21.52 |
| The great sage Maitreya said: After the Personality of Godhead spoke thus, the PracetÄs began to offer Him prayers. The Lord is the bestower of all success in life and is the supreme benefactor. He is also the supreme friend who takes away all miserable conditions experienced by a devotee. In a faltering voice, due to ecstasy, the PracetÄs began to offer prayers. They were purified by the presence of the Lord, who was before them face to face. The Activities of the Pracetas |
| SB 4.30.21 |
| Whenever pure topics of the transcendental world are discussed, the members of the audience forget all kinds of material hankerings, at least for the time being. Not only that, but they are no longer envious of one another, nor do they suffer from anxiety or fear. The Activities of the Pracetas |
| SB 4.30.35 |
| In this way the descendants of the monkeys intermingle with each other, and they are generally known as śūdras. Without hesitating, they live and move freely, not knowing the goal of life. They are captivated simply by seeing the faces of one another, which remind them of sense gratification. They are always engaged in material activities, known as grÄmya-karma, and they work hard for material benefit. Thus they forget completely that one day their small life spans will be finished and they will be degraded in the evolutionary cycle. The Material World as the Great Forest of Enjoyment |
| SB 5.14.31 |
| By associating with persons for whom the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Mukunda, is the all in all, one can hear of His powerful activities and soon come to understand them. The activities of Mukunda are so potent that simply by hearing of them one immediately associates with the Lord. For a person who constantly and very eagerly hears narrations of the Lord’s powerful activities, the Absolute Truth, the Personality of Godhead in the form of sound vibrations, enters within his heart and cleanses it of all contamination. On the other hand, although bathing in the Ganges diminishes bodily contaminations and infections, this process and the process of visiting holy places can cleanse the heart only after a long time. Therefore who is the sane man who will not associate with devotees to quickly perfect his life? The Prayers Offered to the Lord by the Residents of Jambudvipa |
| SB 5.18.11 |
| The ritualistic ceremonies of atonement recommended in the religious scriptures are insufficient to cleanse the heart absolutely because after atonement one’s mind again runs toward material activities. Consequently, for one who wants liberation from the fruitive reactions of material activities, the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, or glorification of the name, fame and pastimes of the Lord, is recommended as the most perfect process of atonement because such chanting eradicates the dirt from one’s heart completely. Ajamila Delivered by the Vishnudutas |
| SB 6.2.12 |
| O great sage, among many millions who are liberated and perfect in knowledge of liberation, one may be a devotee of Lord NÄrÄyaṇa, or Kṛṣṇa. Such devotees, who are fully peaceful, are extremely rare. King Citraketu's Lamentation |
| SB 6.14.5 |
| Because King YayÄti completely surrendered unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead, VÄsudeva, he was freed from all contamination of the material modes of nature. Because of his self-realization, he was able to fix his mind upon the Transcendence [Parabrahman, VÄsudeva], and thus he ultimately achieved the position of an associate of the Lord. King Yayati Achieves Liberation |
| SB 9.19.25 |
| Because of Kṛṣṇa’s having sucked the breast of the RÄká¹£asÄ« PÅ«tanÄ, when Kṛṣṇa killed her she was immediately freed of all material contamination. Her sinful reactions automatically vanished, and therefore when her gigantic body was being burnt, the smoke emanating from her body was fragrant like aguru incense. The Killing of the Demon Putana |
| SB 10.6.34 |
| King ParÄ«ká¹£it said: My lord, Åšukadeva GosvÄmÄ«, all the various activities exhibited by the incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are certainly pleasing to the ear and to the mind. Simply by one’s hearing of these activities, the dirty things in one’s mind immediately vanish. Generally we are reluctant to hear about the activities of the Lord, but Kṛṣṇa’s childhood activities are so attractive that they are automatically pleasing to the mind and ear. Thus one’s attachment for hearing about material things, which is the root cause of material existence, vanishes, and one gradually develops devotional service to the Supreme Lord, attachment for Him, and friendship with devotees who give us the contribution of Kṛṣṇa consciousness. If you think it fit, kindly speak about those activities of the Lord. The Killing of the Demon Trinavarta |
| SB 10.7.1-2 |
| Outside the gateway of the temple, all the roads were also cleansed, and no one could tell exactly how this was done. The Cleansing of the Gundica Temple |
| CC 2.12.135 |
| “If you want to understand ÅšrÄ«mad-BhÄgavatam,†he said, “you must approach a self-realized Vaiṣṇava and hear from him. You can do this when you have completely taken shelter of the lotus feet of ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu.†How Pradyumna Misra Received Instructions from Ramananda Raya |
| CC 3.5.131 |
| It is said that one result is obtained by worshiping the supreme cause of all causes and that another result is obtained by worshiping what is not supreme. All this is heard from the undisturbed authorities, who clearly explained it. Sri Isopanishad |
| Iso 13 |
| This is illustrated by the examples of a royal palace, a meal, and so on. A king is not really satisfied just by seeing a palace, nor can someone placate his hunger just by looking at a meal. Narada Bhakti Sutra |
