So what is the process of worship? Yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtanair prāyair yajanti hi sumedhasaḥ. This saṅkīrtana-yajña as we are performing before Lord Caitanya, Nityānanda and others, this is the perfect performance of yajña in this age. Otherwise, no other . . . therefore it is becoming successful. This is the only prescribed yajña. Other yajñas, Rājasūya yajña, this yajña, that . . . there are so many yajñas. And sometimes India, they perform so-called yajñas. They collect some money, that's all. It cannot be successful, because there is no yajñic brāhmaṇa.
The yajñic brāhmaṇa is not in existence at the present moment. The yajñic brāhmaṇa used to test how correctly they are pronouncing Vedic mantra. The test was that one animal should be put into the fire, and he would again come with fresh, young body. Then it is tested that the yajña is being performed nicely. The brāhmaṇa, the yajñic brāhmaṇa, they are pronouncing the Veda mantra correctly, this is the test. But where is that brāhmaṇa in this age? Therefore no yajña is recommended. Kalau pañca vivarjayet.
- aśvamedham gavālambhaṁ
- sannyāsaṁ pala-paitṛkam
- devareṇa suta-pitṛ
- kalau pañca vivarjayet
- (CC Adi 17.164)
So there is no yajña in this age. There is no yajñic brāhmaṇa. This is the only yajña: chant Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra and dance in ecstasy. This is the only yajña.
So rājyaṁ surāṇām api cādhipatyam (BG 2.8). Formerly there were many demons who conquered over the kingdom of the demigods. Rājyaṁ surāṇām api cādhipatyam. Just like Hiraṇyakaśipu. He spread his authority even over the kingdom of Indra. Indrāri-vyākulaṁ loke mṛdayanti yuge yuge (SB 1.3.28). Indrāri. Indrāri means the enemy of Indra. Indra is the king of the heavenly planet, and enemy means the demons. The demigods and their enemy, demons. Just like we have got many enemies. Because we are chanting Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra, there are so many critics and so many enemies also. They do not like. So this is always. Now the number has increased. Formerly, there were some. Now there are many.
So therefore indrāri-vyākulaṁ lokam. When these demons, the population, demonic population increases, then vyākulaṁ lokam: people become perplexed. Indrāri vyākulaṁ lokaṁ mṛdayanti yuge yuge. So when . . . at that time, Kṛṣṇa comes. Ete cāṁśa-kalāḥ puṁsaḥ kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam (SB 1.3.28). There are list of names of the incarnation of Kṛṣṇa and God, or God. But after mentioning all the names, the Bhāgavata indicates that, "All the names listed herewith, they are partial representation of Kṛṣṇa. But the name Kṛṣṇa is there. He's real, original Personality of . . ." Kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam. And He comes . . . indrāri-vyākulaṁ loke. When people are too much embarrassed by the onslaught of the demons, He comes. And He also confirms. This is śāstra. One śāstra says He comes in this condition. And Kṛṣṇa says: "Yes, yadā yadā hi dharmasya glānir bhavati bhārata tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham (BG 4.7): at that time, I come."
