''Bhārata'' means this planet, not this small land now we are occupying. No. This whole planet is called Bhārata-varṣa. Since the time of Mahārāja Bharata . . . he was the emperor of the whole world. Formerly we understand from history that the king of Hastināpura was the emperor of the whole world, up to Mahārāja Parīkṣit, five thousand years ago. After that, it became separated on account of depreciation of the Vedic culture. They could not control. Just like we could not control Pakistan. They have gone away. Pakistan, twenty years ago, it was India, but they have left you. The Mussulmans, they left you because you could not control them. That is your fault.

And the fault is depreciation of the Vedic culture. In the Vedic culture there is no such thing that once one has become fallen, he cannot be reclaimed. He can be reclaimed. It doesn't matter however fallen he is. Just like in the ''Bhagavad-gītā'' Kṛṣṇa says, ''māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ'' ([[vanisource:BG 9.32 (1972)|BG 9.32]]). ''Pāpa-yoni.'' According to Vedic culture the lower class of people . . . lower class of people means one who cannot be educated to the Vedic culture. He is called lower class. Otherwise the Vedic culture is open for everyone. So Kṛṣṇa says, ''māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya ye 'pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ''. Never mind, ''papa-yoni''. He can be claimed. ''Striyaḥ śūdrās tathā vaiśyās te 'pi yānti parāṁ gatim''.

So suppose these Muhammadans or others in India . . . the Muhammadans, these Muhammadans, did not come from any other part of the world. They were lower class and they, after Aurangzeb's propaganda of ''jizyah'' tax, some of them or more of them, they became Mussulmans. This is the historical fact. So why they were not reclaimed again? Reclaimed. Of course, some of the ''sannyāsīs'', they tried to reclaim, but that was not the proper way—therefore it was failure.

The proper way of reclaiming all the fallen souls: by Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. Kṛṣṇa says, ''māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya''. One has to be educated to take shelter of the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. ''Māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya''. Not otherwise. You cannot propagate ''śuddhi'' movement by otherwise. You have to reclaim everyone to the Vedic platform by making him Vaiṣṇava. Because when one becomes Vaiṣṇava, he becomes transcendental. That is confirmed in the ''Bhagavad-gītā''. ''Māṁ hi pārtha'' . . . er, ''māṁ ca 'vyabhicāriṇi-bhakti-yogena yaḥ sevate'' ([[vanisource:BG 14.26 (1972)|BG 14.26]]). ''Avyabhicāriṇi-bhakti-yogena. Bhakti''-''yoga'', the process of devotional service, if one is engaged, ''avyabhicāriṇi'', without any adulteration . . . real ''bhakti''-''yoga'' means:

:''anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyaṁ''
:''jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam''
:''ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-''
:''śīlanaṁ bhaktir uttamā''
:(Brs. 1.1.11)

This is real ''bhakti''.

There cannot be any motive behind ''bhakti''-''yoga''. ''Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam'' and ''jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam'' ([[vanisource:CC Madhya 19.167|CC Madhya 19.167]]), and transcendental to the position of philosophical speculation and fruitive activities. ''Jñāna-karmādy-anāvṛtam. Ānukūlyena kṛṣṇānu-śīlanam.'' Just simply to serve Kṛṣṇa favorably, ''ānukūla'', that is ''bhakti''. So this ''bhakti'' is called ''avyabhicāriṇi-bhakti'': without any adulteration, without any mutilation; perfect ''bhakti''.
