In Kali-yuga, meditation fails but loud chanting of Hare Krishna alone saves the conditioned soul.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 6.1.63 — August 30, 1975, Vṛndāvana 750830SB-VRNDAVAN [29:14 Minutes] SB-06.01.63_750830SB-VRNDAVAN Harikeśa: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [devotees repeat] Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Sixth Canto, First Chapter, sixty-third verse.
[leads chanting of verse, etc.] tan-nimitta-smara-vyāja graha-grasto vicetasaḥ tām eva manasā dhyāyan sva-dharmād virarāma ha [SB 6.1.63] [break] [02:04]
Prabhupāda: tan-nimitta-smara-vyāja graha-grasto vicetasaḥ tām eva manasā dhyāyan sva-dharmād virarāma ha [SB 6.1.63] So the one word is very significant in this connection: graha-grasto vicetasaḥ. Graha-grasto means ghostly haunted or influenced by bad star, graha-grasto. Sometimes we become... We are always graha-grasto in this material world.
It is said by some Vaiṣṇava poet, piśāci pāile yena mati-cchana haya māyār graṣṭa jīvera sei dāsa upajaya. Piśāci, ghostly haunted or inspired by the witches, when one becomes so, mati-cchana, he becomes bewildered, and his intelligence becomes scattered. Mati-cchana. That is the condition of all living entities within this material world in different degrees.
Everyone is ghostly haunted. And what is that ghostly haunted? That ghostly haunted, tan-nimitta-smara-vyāja. This Ajāmila had seen one śūdra and one śūdrāṇī was embracing, kissing, laughing, enjoying in lusty affairs.
So he became tan-nimitta. By seeing these activities of the śūdra and the śūdrāṇī, naturally the lusty desire is there, which I explained yesterday. It is called hṛd-roga-kāma [Cc. Antya 5.45].
This kāma, lusty desire, is a heart disease. So he was infected by the heart disease by seeing the scene, that one woman and man is embracing and kissing. Immediately. So the nature's law is so nice or so perfect that by seeing only, you will be infected. By seeing only.
