Keep Krishna Consciousness As It Is

If we want to attain the supreme perfection of going back to home, back to Godhead, we have to keep Krishna consciousness as it is. We cannot concoct our own new version of Krishna consciousness adapted to facilitate our sense pleasure. If we compromise with maya or illusion, we will be fated to remain here in this material existence rotating perpetually in the cycle of repeated birth, death, old age, and disease.

Don't Remain Entangled in this Endless Cycle

Question: How Ajamila Got Perfection?

In Lesson C205 you write how it is important to remember Krishna at the time of death. But please explain how I should understand Srila Prabhupada's purport to Srimad Bhagavatam 6.2.13 where he says:

"The Visnudutas, who are superior authorities, gave orders to the Yamadutas, who did not know that Ajamila was no longer subject to tribulation in hellish life for his past sins. Although he had chanted the holy name Narayaṇa to indicate his son, the holy name is so transcendentally powerful that he was automatically freed because he had chanted the holy name while dying"

It is clearly stated here, that while dying Ajamila was calling for his son and as far as I understand from this purpot, he was thinking about son, not Narayaṇa or Krishna. Besides this, in next paragraph Srila Prabhupada writes: "Elsewhere in Bhagavad-gītā (8.5) it is stated: If one remembers Krishna, Narayaṇa, at the time of death, one is certainly eligible to return immediately home, back to Godhead."

Dear Sankarshan Prabhu, I need your help to understand this story with Ajamila correctly.

With my best wishes and regards,
Vadim

Answer: By Cultivating Pure Devotional Service

Ajamila did not go back to Godhead when he called out the name of his son, Narayana, at the time of death. Instead he got an extension to his life and went to Hardwar where he cultivated pure devotional service and attained the supreme perfection of going back to home, back to Godhead when he finally did leave his body.
