These are the statement. Means, "Whenever there is mismanagement of the word dharma, or pure characteristic, at that time I appear." So Kṛṣṇa appeared for reestablishing the real principles of dharma, or religion. So He did not come or did not appear for establishing the so-called religion system—Hindu religion and Muslim religion or Christian religion or this religion, that. . . Not that type. Real religion. Therefore He says, sarva-dharmān parityajya (BG 18.66): "Give up all these. Simply surrender unto Me.".

Kṛṣṇa in the Bhagavad-gītā gives mukti in these words: sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]). Sarva-dharmān means all kinds of these bogus religious system. You. . . Sarva-dharmān parityajya. Otherwise why He is advising parityajya, "Give it up."? Because it is bogus; it is cheating. The real dharma is mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja: "Only surrender unto Me." Mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja. Yes. This is religion. Kṛṣṇa in the beginning, in the Fourth Chapter, He says,

<div class="quote_verse">
:yadā yadā hi dharmasya
:glānir bhavati bhārata
:abhyutthānam adharmasya
:tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham 
:([[Vanisource:BG 4.7 (1972)|BG 4.7]])
</div>

:paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ

<div class="quote_verse">
:vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām
:dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya
:sambhavāmi yuge yuge 
:([[Vanisource:BG 4.8 (1972)|BG 4.8]])
</div>

These are the statement. Means, "Whenever there is mismanagement of the word dharma, or pure characteristic, at that time I appear." So Kṛṣṇa appeared for reestablishing the real principles of dharma, or religion. So He did not come or did not appear for establishing the so-called religion system—Hindu religion and Muslim religion or Christian religion or this religion, that. . . Not that type. Real religion. Therefore He says, sarva-dharmān parityajya ([[Vanisource:BG 18.66 (1972)|BG 18.66]]): "Give up all these. Simply surrender unto Me."

So any religious system which is teaching to divert the attention of the follower to so many things, that is cheating religion. Just like in India, there is a class of men, they are called Māyāvādīs. They recommend that "You worship any demigod. The result is the same." This is false religion. Kṛṣṇa said that mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja: "Only surrender unto Me." Then one may ask that "In the Vedas there are. . . so many demigods' worship is recommended. Is that false?" That is not false. Because it is mentioned in the Vedas, you cannot say it is false. But they are meant for all material benefit. Material benefit means it is mentioned that "If you want to be very educated, you worship this demigod," that "If you want a beautiful wife, then you worship this demigod. If you want to be very wealthy, then you worship this demigod." In this way there are different items, but these things are all material things. So that is mentioned in the Bhagavad. . . kāṅkṣantaḥ karmaṇāṁ siddhiṁ yajanta iha devatāḥ ([[Vanisource:BG 4.12 (1972)|BG 4.12]]): "Those who are desirous of getting success in this material life, for them the different demigod worship is recommended."
