Devotion to Krishna's lotus feet purifies the body and automatically grants all material and spiritual perfections.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Prabhupāda: [Śrīla Prabhupāda leads chanting of verses and devotees repeat] …loka-trayasya mahatīm aharad yad ārtiṁ svāyambhuvena manunā harir ity anūktaḥ jajñe ca kardama-gṛhe dvija devahūtyāṁ strībhiḥ samaṁ navabhir ātma-gatiṁ sva-mātre ūce yayātma-śamalaṁ guṇa-saṅga-paṅkam asmin vidhūya kapilasya gatiṁ prapede Then next. atrer apatyam abhikāṅkṣata āha tuṣṭo datto mayāham iti yad bhagavān sa dattaḥ yat-pāda-paṅkaja-parāga-pavitra-dehā yogarddhim āpur ubhayīṁ yadu-haihayādyāḥ [SB 2.7.2–4] [Prajāpati Ruci begot Suyajña in the womb of his wife Ākūti, and then Suyajña begot the demigods headed by Suyama in the womb of his wife Dakṣiṇā. Suyajña, as the Indradeva, diminished very great miseries in the three planetary systems [upper, lower and intermediate], and because he so diminished the miseries of the universe, he was later called Hari by the great father of mankind, namely Svāyambhuva Manu.] Repeat. Try to pronounce. One by one.
No, no, one word after. They can practice. [Pradyumna now chants one word at a time, then the line, then whole verse, etc., with other devotees repeating. Prabhupāda prompts and assists as devotees struggle.] Pradyumna: atrer apatyam abhikāṅkṣata āha tuṣṭo datto mayāham iti yad bhagavān sa dattaḥ yat-pāda-paṅkaja-parāga-pavitra-dehā yogarddhim āpur ubhayīṁ yadu-haihayādyāḥ [SB 2.7.4] Prabhupāda: Yogarddhim āpur ubhayīṁ. Yogarddhim: here is the speciality of devotees.
Yat-pāda-paṅkaja-parāga-pavitra-dehā: one who is engaged in the service of the lotus feet of the Lord, their body becomes so pure that all the perfection of yoga automatically comes there. Yogarddhim āpur ubhayīṁ. Not only for the next life; this life also. They are not to be considered as poor and hungry.
No. Everything is there, ubhayīṁ. But how? Yat-pāda-paṅkaja-parāga-pavitra-dehā.
The paṅkaja, the lotus flower, there is saffron dust. So one who takes shelter of the lotus flower, lotus feet of the Lord, that saffron naturally mixes with this body, so immediately he becomes sanctified. Yogarddhim means “sanctified body.”Yoga, so aṇimā, first aṇimā, to make this body light. So practically there is no influence of the body.
Just like a dead man becomes heavy. Do you know that? You weigh a living man, and the same man, when he is dead, he becomes heavy. Have you got this experience? Devotee: No.
Prabhupāda: Yes. Govinda dāsī: Even when they are sleeping? A sleeping cat. Prabhupāda: Yes. So the more you become spiritualized, so the material heaviness is diminished. Yat-pāda-paṅkaja-parāga-pavitra-dehā.
