  1. Chapter 9Text 23-25 Worship of other demigods and worship of Krsna.

  2. Text 23 ye 'py anya-devatä-bhaktä yajante çraddhayänvitäù te 'pi mäm eva kaunteya yajanty avidhi-pürvakam Those who are devotees of other gods and who worship them with faith actually worship only Me, O son of Kunté, but they do so in a wrong way.

  3. Wrong way of worshiping Supreme • Pouring water on leaves and branches. • Serving different parts of body by serving stomach.Yatha mula taror…. • Bribe to officers in organization/ government and following the government rules.

  4. Text 24 ahaà hi sarva-yajïänäà bhoktä ca prabhur eva ca na tu mäm abhijänanti tattvenätaç cyavanti te I am the only enjoyer and master of all sacrifices. Therefore, those who do not recognize My true transcendental nature fall down.

  5. Falling down due to ignorance • Here it is clearly stated that there are many types of yajïa performances recommended in the Vedic literatures, but actually all of them are meant for satisfying the Supreme Lord. • Less intelligent persons, however, without knowing this fact, worship demigods for temporary benefit. • Therefore they fall down to material existence and do not achieve the desired goal of life. • Akama sarva kamo va…

  6. Text 25 yänti deva-vratä devän pitèn yänti pitå-vratäù bhütäni yänti bhütejyä yänti mad-yäjino 'pi mäm Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship the ancestors go to the ancestors; those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; and those who worship Me will live with Me.

  7. Ignorance cause of fall down • In previous verse Krsna said, one falls down not knowing Krsna as the master and enjoyer of all the sacrifices. • Here in this verse there is hint or information about spiritual planets or Krsna Loka and Srila Prabhupada says,“Unfortunately many people have no information of these sublime planets where Kåñëa and Viñëu live, and because they do not know of them they fall down. Even the impersonalists fall down from the brahmajyoti.”

  8. The Kåñëa consciousness movement is therefore distributing sublime information to the entire human society to the effect that by simply chanting the Hare Kåñëa mantra one can become perfect in this life and go back home, back to Godhead.
