Only those free from material desires can glorify Krishna; chanting is medicine for the disease of birth and death.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Morning Walk — April 6, 1974, Bombay 740406MW-BOMBAY [23:00 Minutes] Walk_740406MW-BOMBAY Prabhupāda: ...by my sister. And you have seen in the Mullik Ṭhākura-bhati[?], Ratha-yātrā? Indian man (1): Yes.
Prabhupāda: So after my festival of Ratha-yātrā the other boys in the Mulliks, they began. My ratha was, I think, this much high, very nicely made. Acyutānanda: When we had Ratha-yātrā in Calcutta we stopped in front of your house, and they had that ratha decorated in the doorway. And we turned the ratha towards the house, and they came out and did ārāti, the Mullik family, Śyāmasundara.
Prabhupāda: So there was good festival, saṅkīrtana, and procession. We all little children enjoyed. And eight days, my mother was cooking different foodstuff for Jagannātha. Then return Ratha-yātrā.
Ratha-yātrā means... Yaśomatīnandana: Fifteen days festival. Acyutānanda: Eight days.
Prabhupāda: No, eight days. From dvitīya to daśama. Ratha-yātrā... Girirāja: nivṛtta-tarṣair upagīyamānād bhavauṣadhāc chrotra-mano-'bhirāmāt ka uttama-śloka-guṇānuvādāt pumān virajyeta vinā paśughnāt [SB 10.1.4] Indian man (1): Yes, comment.
Uttama-śloka-guṇānuvādāt. Uttama-śloka is Kṛṣṇa, who is worshiped by selected verses. So uttama-śloka-guṇānuvādā is executed by nivṛtta-tarsaiḥ. Nivṛtta-tarsaiḥ.
Nivṛtti means ceasing; tṛṣṇa means material desires. Nivṛtti-tarṣair upagīyamānād. So this uttamaśloka-guṇanuvada, praising the Supreme, Uttamaśloka, is done by the nivṛtta-tarsaiḥ. Nivṛtta-tarsaiḥ means one who has ceased material desires.
