Authentic incarnations possess scriptural credentials; reject impostors by verifying their evidence against authorized sacred texts.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 1.3.25 — September 30, 1972, Los Angeles 720930SB-LOS ANGELES [37:25 Minutes] SB-01.03.25_720930SB-LOS ANGELES Prabhupāda: Govindam ādi-puruṣaṁ. [leads singing of Jaya Rādhā-Mādhava] [prema-dhvani] Thank you very much.
Devotees: All glories to Śrī Guru and Gauranga. [devotees offer obeisances] [05:37] Pradyumna: [break] ...mo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Canto One, Chapter Three, text 25.
[leads chanting of verse] [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] athāsau yuga-sandhyāyāṁ dasyu-prāyeṣu rājasu janitā viṣṇu-yaśaso nāmnā kalkir jagat-patiḥ [SB 1.3.25] Prabhupāda: Ladies. [ladies chant] That's all. Word meaning? Pradyumna: [leads chanting of synonyms] atha—thereafter; asau—the same Lord; yuga-sandhyāyām—at the conjunction of the yugas; dasyu—plunderers; prāyeṣu—almost all; rājasu—the governing personalities; janitā—will take His birth; viṣṇu—named Viṣṇu; yaśasaḥ—surnamed Yaśā; nāmnā—in the name of; kalkiḥ—the incarnation of the Lord; jagat-patiḥ—the Lord of the creation.
[11:58] Translation: "Thereafter, at the conjunction of two yugas, the Lord of the creation will take His birth as the Kalki incarnation and become the son of Viṣṇu Yaśā. At this time the rulers of the earth will have degenerated into plunderers." Prabhupāda: So there are some remarkable points in this verse. Dasyu-prāyeṣu rājasu. Rājasu means government.
Rāja: king, or government. So monarchy is now abolished practically all over the world. Now it is democratic government. So this so-called democratic government or Communist government, as they are going on, they will become rogues and thieves, dasyu-prāyeṣu.
All the rogues, thieves, plunderers, they will capture. Because it is by vote. So dasyu... Just like plunderers, rogues, they, on the point of revolver, they take away your money, so they will take vote on the point of revolver. Actually, it is happening.
In Korea it so happened that sometimes the Communists are coming in power, and sometimes the Capitalists coming in power, America and Russia. So poor people, as soon as there is Communist government, they are under the influence: "If you don't do this, then you'll be shot." By force. The people do not know what is government generally. They want to live peacefully.
