Simply chanting Hare Krishna transforms even the lowborn into pure devotees, transcending all material designations.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Bhagavad-gītā 16.7 [with translator] — December 26, 1975, Sanand 751226BG-SANAND [39:47 Minutes] BG-16.07_751226BG-SANAND [translated throughout]
Prabhupāda: pravṛttiṁ ca nivṛttiṁ ca janā na vidur āsurāḥ na śaucaṁ nāpi cācāro na satyaṁ teṣu vidyate [Bg. 16.7] Yaśomatīnandana: There's something [indistinct].
Prabhupāda: That's all right. Yaśomatīnandana: They're connecting.
Prabhupāda: Now here is the description of the asuras as stated by Kṛṣṇa. There are two classes of men, asura and deva. Daiva and asura... Viṣṇu-bhakto bhaved deva asuras tad-viparyayaḥ.
The devas, devatāloka... [aside:] Don't talk. Yaśomatīnandana: [indistinct]
Prabhupāda: No... And whatever it may be, why you are interpreting? You stop. In the upper planetary system, beginning from the sun, there are Sūryaloka, Candraloka, Maṅgala, Bhūr, Bṛhaspati, up to Saturn, there are different lokas.
So the upper planetary system, beginning from Sūrya, they are called devaloka. They are all devotees of the Lord; therefore they are called devatā. They are not pure devotees, but they are not disobedient to the orders of the Supreme Lord. Śuddha-bhakta means they do not come to the material world. Anyābhilāṣitā-śūnyam [Brs. 1.1.11(1)], the śuddha-bhaktas, nitya, nitya-siddha, they do not come to this material world.
