This King, Maharaja Prithu, is the best amongst those who are following religious principles. As such, he will engage everyone in the pursuit of religious principles and thus protect those principles. He will also be a great chastiser to the irreligious and atheistic. This King alone, in his own body, in due course of time will be able to maintain all living entities and keep them in a pleasant condition by manifesting himself as different demigods who perform various activities in universal maintenance. Thus he will maintain the upper planetary system by inducing the citizens to perform Vedic sacrifices. In due course of time he will also maintain this earthly planet by discharging proper rainfall. Muralidhara Dasa This King Prithu will be as powerful as the sun- god, and just as the sun-god equally distributes sunshine to everyone, King Prithu will distribute his mercy equally. Similarly, just as the sun-god evaporates water for eight months and, during the rainy season, returns it profusely, this King will also exact taxes from the citizens and return these monies in times of need.

  • The Bhagavadgita in a Nutshell
    THE BHAGAVADGITA IN A NUTSHELL SWAMI KRISHNANANDA The Divine Life Society Sivananda Ashram, Rishikesh, India Website: www.swami-krishnananda.org Spoken on November 3rd, 1973. Salutations, humble prostrations to the Supreme Almighty God, Bhagavan Sri Lakshmi Narayana! May we, on this auspicious occasion, invoke the grace of Bhagavan Sriman Narayana that his all-compassionate eyes may look upon all of mankind with a benignant, gracious compassion. May this be a sacred opportunity for all of us to contemplate and pray to his all-pervading form as the Viratsvarupa in this visible shape of creation. May we be endowed with that understanding and power of wisdom to recognise his presence in all this manifestation as this world, this cosmos, this universe. May we not be tempted into the false belief that this world is an object of enjoyment for the senses. May we not be led astray into the erroneous notion that this world is our property, that it belongs to us, that this is a field of physical enjoyment and personal aggrandisement in any manner whatsoever. May we be blessed with that knowledge with which we can look upon this vast world as the field of dharma, the field of work and duty and training for the chastening of our spirits for the realisation of God ultimately. May we pray to Bhagavan Sriman Narayana that he dispel the ignorance of our hearts due to which mankind is likely to mistake God for the world and the world for God in an erroneous superimposition of values. May we look upon this world as the body of God, and may we recognise all our activities as worship of God.

    THE ENDURING SELF: EXPLORING THE IDENTITY OF THE HARE KRISHNA DEVOTEES BEYOND RACE, LANGUAGE AND CULTURE by S.M. Ramson Student number: 205519769 A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master of Arts Degree (Religion and Social Transformation) In the School of Religion and Theology Faculty of Humanities University of Kwazulu Natal JOINT PROMOTERS: Professor P. Kumar Professor R. Sookrajh January 2006 i DECLARATION I, do hereby declare that this dissertation, which is submitted to the university for the degree of Master of Arts (Religion and Social Transformation), has not been previously submitted by me for a degree at any other university, and all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of a complete reference. S.M. Ramson Researcher Professor P. Kumar Professor R. Sookrajh ii DEDICATION This research is dedicated to His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the founder acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (The Hare Krishna Movement) who in the face of extreme difficulty presented the Gaudiya Vaisnava science of Self Realization and devotion to the Western world, whose courage, insights, perspicacity, purity and love forms the example that I wish to pursue. iii ACKNO WLEDGEMENTS It does not take the stance of a social scientist to understand that one of the enduring features of social dynamics amongst humans is the ability to extend themselves selflessly, and sometimes, even with great effort make sacrifices simply for the progress of others. There is no scale on which I can rate such benefaction, except to understand that I am overwhelmed by a sense of gratitude to several individuals to whom I wish to sincerely express my heartfelt appreciation.
