The holy name of Hari is so supremely powerful that sincere chanting instantly liberates from all sinful reactions across millions of lifetimes.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.2.5–8 — January 10, 1971, Calcutta 710110SB-CALCUTTA [20:56 Minutes] SB-06.02.05–08_710110SB-CALCUTTA Devotee: [introduction to recording] Morning lecture, 10th of January, 1971, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam.
Prabhupāda: ...śira ādhāya lokaḥ svapiti nirvṛtaḥ svayaṁ dharmam adharmaṁ vā na hi veda yathā paśuḥ sa kathaṁ nyarpitātmānaṁ kṛta-maitram acetanam visrambhaṇīyo bhūtānāṁ saghṛṇo dogdhum arhati [SB 6.2.5–6] [microphone moving] Is that all right?
Prabhupāda: visvasena nitaram arpita ātmā yenārtham visrambhaṇīyo visva-saghṛṇiya saghṛṇasya.[?] sa kathaṁ nyarpitātmānaṁ kṛta-maitram acetanam visrambhaṇīyo bhūtānāṁ saghṛṇo dogdhum arhati So the Yamadūta is comparing the trustworthy government. Everything is discussed in Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, but people do not take advantage of all these instruction. They mean... Bhāgavatam means that rāsa-līlā, that's all.
So many nice instructions are there in different cantos.

They do not know. Those who take advantage of Kṛṣṇa's rāsa-līlā only as ordinary story, they do not know Kṛṣṇa tattvataḥ. But even though they do not know, because they are hearing about Kṛṣṇa's pastimes, they are also becoming purified.
But if they hear from authorized source, then the result will be bhaktiṁ parāṁ pratilabhya [SB 10.33.39]. They will be promoted to transcendental devotional platform, and the result will be that hṛd-roga-kāmam apahinoti. Actually, by hearing about rāsa-līlā the result will be that one will be raised to the platform of transcendental service, and the disease of lust within the heart—that is material disease—that will be completely vanquished. Hṛd-roga-kāmam apahinoti aciram. Aciram, very soon, they will be able to eradicate the deep-rooted lusty desires in the heart of material existence. Material existence means lusty life.
Kṛṣṇa-bhuliya jīva bhoga vāñchā kare [Prema-vivarta]. Material life means simply to desire to enjoy. Of course, there is no enjoyment. That is...
So if one hears rāsa-līlā from authoritative source, the result will be that he will be promoted to the transcendental platform of loving service to Kṛṣṇa, and the material disease, lusty desires, will be vanquished. But they do not hear from the authoritative source. Some professional reciters they hear; therefore they remain in the material existence of lusty affairs, and sometimes they turn to be sahajiyā. When Kṛṣṇa has connection with so many women...
