It's a matter of love or envy

Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.
It's a matter of love or envy, for Haripada dasa
I share this reflection, it is a matter of love or envy, there are people who love Srila Prabhupada and the symptom of that love is that they obey his instructions, for example, those of us who love Srila Prabhupada are very much against the changes that have been made to him. made to his books, we consider that this is a great offense against Srila Prabhupada, thanks to Krishna that there are the original books of Srila Prabhupada, and there is one hundred percent pure vibration of Srila Prabhupada and we use them, and then there are the hypocritical people posing as Srila Prabhupada's followers but in reality they envy Srila Prabhupada very much, as Jesus always said that people dressed as lambs will appear, but inside they are ferocious wolves, these people carried away by the great envy that they have Srila Prabhupada supports the changes they have made to Srila Prabhupada's books, they sent me a link to watch a video on YouTube, there in the past Vy asa puja of Srila Prabhupada a devotee of Iskcon was reading his letter and very strongly criticized the issue of the changes in Srila Prabhupada's books and the authorities so that no one would hear these criticisms cut off the microphone, I remember once I read a message on the web sun that compared Iskcon with the Nazis of Germany, Hitler thought that the Germans are the most and the others are garbage, we are going to cleanse and kill them all, that is the mentality of Iskcon, how strong is ignorance, those of Iskcon for offending Srila Prabhupada and his devotees are destined to go all to hell, but in their ignorance they think that we have Srila Prabhupada's monopoly and no one could go directly to Srila Prabhupada, everyone should obtain our mercy and blessings for connect with Srila Prabhupada, once I explained to a friend what was going on in Iskcon and he told me that all those people live in unconsciousness.
And it is also very sad to see how the groups of ritviks fight with each other, that is also pure ignorance, and it is also sad to see how Madhu pandit of Bangalore is openly saying that he has learned many things from Iskcon gurus, the only thing that will have learned from Iskcon gurus is to have a lot of money and despise everyone, we are in Kali yuga, hypocrisy and quarrel, Srila Prabhupada always said that love for me will show you working all together to expand the glories of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga, we should strive to keep all of us together loving Srila Prabhupada, if not ignorance will overcome us.
Note: I am sending these messages to contacts that I have in my email, but I do not know them personally, only one person has asked me who are you, and I have sent my devotional life, if someone feels disturbed when receiving my messages , please tell me and I will remove them from my contacts, thank you.

Negative and positive changes

Negative and positive changes, by Haripada dasa
This message is related to the changes that have been made to the books of Srila Prabhupada, these changes are negative and positive, this requires an explanation, an example of negative changes is for example the verse 4, 34 of the Gita, in the original says that the self-realized soul can impart knowledge because you have seen the truth, that is, the guru puts it in the singular, but they changed it and put the self-realized souls can impart knowledge because they have seen the truth, these changes have not made them to satisfy Srila Prabhupada but to satisfy the personal interests of the many iskcon gurus, or in other words, disparaged Srila Prabhupada to favor others, and that is a mistake and a great offense against Srila Prabhupada, in the negative changes there is always malice against Srila Prabhupada, and now I expose the positive changes, for example in the meaning of the Gita, 10, 29 it is said that there is also a planet of trees where pre side Aryama, we all understand that there is no tree planet, as I understand it the devotee who was listening to Srila Prabhupada's tape and writing the Gita understood it that way, but if you look at the verse word by word it says that pitrinam means of the ancestors or ancestors, so in the meaning it should put that there is also a planet of ancestors or ancestors where Aryama presides, another example of positive changes, in the CC, AL, 6, 73 Srila Prabhupada says in the meaning that this verse was spoken by Queen Kunti, but in reality that verse was spoken by Rukmini, positive changes means that we are helping Sria Prabhupada in his service of writing his books, and unlike the negative changes that are based on malice against Srila Prabhupada, the positive changes are based on love for Srila Prabhupada. I would like to know your opinion about all this.

Very good news

Hare krishna, my obeisances, glories to srila prabhupada, I have to give very good news, the mother yasoda of Spain who is very expert in translating from English to Spanish is already finishing the original gita of Srila Prabhupada in Spanish, the idea is that before printing it wants some devotees to look at it to see if there are grammatical errors and try to make everything perfect for printing, we ask everyone's blessings so that everything goes well and 700 million good souls who speak Spanish benefit from this translation, in the service of Srila Prabhupada and his devotees, Haripada dasa.

The problems of Iskcon

Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.
The problems of Iskcon, by Haripada dasa
As I see it I will try to expose Iskcon's problems, Iskcon's biggest problem is that Srila Prabhupada's books have changed, there is a universal law to protect authors that says no one can change a book without permission of the author, they made those changes when Srila Prabhupada discarded, if they were judged, many would go to jail, for example, verse 4, 34 of the Gita in the original says that the self-realized soul can impart knowledge because he has seen the truth, that is, the guru puts it in the singular, but they changed it and put the self-realized souls can impart knowledge because they have seen the truth, these changes have not made them to satisfy Srila Prabhupada but to satisfy the personal interests of the many iskcon gurus , that is the biggest offense that Iskcon has done to Srila Prabhupada, thanks to Krishna that the original books exist and we use them. Another major problem of Iskcon is that the authorities and their followers do not want to understand and accept that Srila Prabhupada ordered his disciples to initiate in his name, I share that two years ago in Vrindavana I was talking about this topic with several devotees, they said they were contrary to the ritvik philosophy, I made this reflection to you, Srila Prabhupada ordered the ritvik philosophy, the orders of Srila Prabhupada are no different than Srila Prabhupada, if you are against the ritvik philosophy, you are against Srila Prabhupada, you you understand and accept this, and they left without saying anything, and I also spoke in Vrindavana with a guru from Iskcon, he told me that Srila Prabhupada in ordering the ritvik philosophy deviated from the guru-parampara, it seemed to me madness and I went, then a few years passed and we saw each other in Vrindavana and he asked me to forgive him for saying that, I told him that it is not me you have to ask for forgiveness but Srila Pr abhupada Iskcon's problem is that they do not understand or accept that Srila Prabhupada is a living guru, and he who obeys his instructions lives with Srila Prabhupada. Another major problem of Iskcon is that the gurus do not know how to answer philosophical questions, when I was in Iskcon I asked many gurus that in the Gita, 4, 42 it is said that an authorized spiritual master is in the disciplic succession from eternal time, that means, nobody knows, and I also asked that the spiritual potency of Krishna has 3 aspects, Hladini, (bliss), Samvit (knowledge) and Sandhini (existence), the personification of Hladini is Srimati Radharani, which is the personification of the another two, nobody knows, and I also asked that it is said that Sri Gauranga comes in every day of Brahma, on a day of Brahma there are many Kali yugas, who comes in the other Kali yugas, nobody knows, and I also asked what is said in the Chaitanya Charitamrita, Adi lila, 1, 35 that a devotee should have a single initiating guru, because in the Scriptures it is always forbidden to accept more than one and also in the book of Krishna in the pastime of Krishna c On his friend Sudama, Krishna says that He has two representatives, the initiating guru and the instructor, there can be many instructor gurus, but the initiator is only one, so how is this that in Ikccon there are people who have started several times, nobody know, and I also asked that in the Gita, 4, 42 it is said that the genuine guru never deviates from the instructions given by God or Krishna, then how is it possible that an Iskcon guru had sexual relations with a disciple, another stole a lot money, etc., what kind of gurus are those, nobody knows, when I was in Iskcon I told the authorities that it would be a good idea for devotees with a lot of spiritual experience and very expert in Srila Prabhupada's books to answer philosophical questions , since living without doubts is very pleasant, and there comes another Iskcon problem that nobody listens to anyone, the conclusion is that now there is an Iskcon that nobody knows anything, the authorities and their followers are only interested in having titles, they think if I have many titles everyone will think that I am a very special soul and everyone will respect me and serve me, and I will live like a king, and nobody is interested in developing the qualities of a Brahmana and of a Vaisnava. I remember a class of Srila Prabhupada who said that I have given them the brahminical cord that is worth a few paisas, but because of their behavior they seem irate melechas. Srila Prabhupada often criticized his disciples for not studying his books, it is a fact that if someone does not study Srila Prabhupada's books thoroughly, he will be sentimental, fanatical and a first class speculator.

The symptom of love

Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.
The symptom of love, by Haripada dasa
A devotee named Devarsi prabhu translated a few things from the conversation books into Spanish years ago and gave me those translations. I remember reading an interview between Sria Prabupada and one of his disciples, Srila Prabhupada said that I will become a Christian and you will do Hare Krishna, Srila Prabhupada told him that we have millions and millions of followers, temples, etc., and you are very few, the devotee said but we have love for God or Krishna and that is what is important, Srila Prabhupada He said that we also have love for God and we go to the Church and we pray to him, the devotee told him that if you had love for God you would obey his orders, Jesus ordered you not to kill and you have the best slaughterhouses, and Srila Prabhupada told him that there is where I wanted to take you, the symptom that you love God is that you obey his orders, a person who does not know God and loves him can not obey God's orders. Today there are many groups of Christians, and also of Hare Krishnas, so that they do not deceive you, you must see if those people are obeying the orders of Jesus and Srila Prabhupada. One of the points of the philosophy of Krishna consciousness is that we are not interested in the opinions of an ordinary person, ordinary people have four types of defects, the first defect is that it tends to make mistakes, another defect is to be in illusion , the third defect is the propensity to cheat and finally our senses are imperfect. Any opinion that is not the revealed truth, lacks all value, the revealed truth means, the truth, or writing that comes from a reliable source, the chain of the disciplic succession formed by genuine spiritual teachers is the reliable source; since these people are self-realized and pure souls, and are free from the four aforementioned defects. You can deceive yourself and others, but no one can deceive God or Krishna and His pure devotees.
In Srimad Bhagavatam, 5, 26, 15 Srila Prabhupada says that we are Hindus, Muslims or Christians, we should all follow the religious principles that correspond to us. However, whoever invents his own religious path, or does not follow any religious principle, will be punished in hell.

Hare Krishna

Hare Krishna, glories to Srila Prabhupada, I share that in the south of Spain, in Fuengirola, (Malaga), there is a temple with Deities of Sri Jagannatha, Jagannatha Vallaba, Purujit and others, a few days ago on the internet I exchanged experiences with Jagannatha Vallaba, yesterday I was very surprised when he sent me this message: "Do you think that Prabhupada is a false guru? I answered the following: about this question that you have asked me you think that Prabhupada is a false guru ?, I could answer you to see if you send me the address of the insane asylum where you are hospitalized so I will send you some maha prasada from Sri Jagannatha Puri to cure your madness ..., now I answer that I did not like anything that you asked me that ..., I do not want problems with anyone and to try to pacify the situation now I have sent you this message: I am writing to apologize for what I told you that if you were crazy for having asked me that question, you already know that among friends are jokes, I hope you have not taken it badly ..., I take this opportunity to tell you that my relationship with you ends here, I respect you as a person and I hope that you also respect me as a person but I do not want to know anything more about you, that's all ... hd. What I want to say with all this is that even within the consciousness of Krishna there are strange and envious people, we have to associate with people that we feel that there is affection and that they are positive, and the strange and envious ones must be avoided or ignored, you what Do you think about all this? In the service to Srila Prabhupada, Haripada dasa.

My daily routine

 My daily routine, by Haripada dasa
Several friends of mine have asked me to describe my daily routine, with love and trust now I will share. Normally I get up at 5 am, do my personal grooming and then I open the temple, for the mercy of Srila Prabhupada many years ago I worship a wooden Deity of Lord Nrisimhadeva made from the Siddha Bakul tree of Jagannatha puri, under this tree I sang Srila Haridasa Thakura Hare Krishna, I offer an incense, I have almost 200 laminated photos of all the Deities and Srila Prabhupada stuck to the walls of my house, then I have 1 hour reading of several Holy Scriptures, Srimad Bhagavatam, etc., after I respect 3 oranges, then I wash the clothes, although I have a washing machine I use it a little, I always wash by hand, then I chant a round of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra by beating the Deity of Lord Nrisimhadeva, Srila Prabhupada always said that we should pray to the Lord Nrisimhadeva for protection and blessings to be able to preach, in my house I do not have internet but I go with my computer to the library of my town, there I communicate with all the devot I also have on my computer all the festivities of the Vaisnava calendar, while I go to the library I sing 2 rounds, then I return home and sing 3 rounds, I already have 6 sung, and breakfast oats, dates, figs, etc., on Tuesdays and on Thursdays I buy fruits, vegetables, etc., then I sing 6 more rounds, they are already 12 sung, then I read Bhagavad Gita and I sleep 45 minutes of nap, then I respect a piece of melon and I cook the main meal, rice basmati, vegetables, a good salad, nuts, etc., after respecting the prasada song 5 rounds, in total 17 rounds sung, then I have 1 hour reading of the Nectar of devotion, Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita and the book of Krishna , then I listen to Srila Prabhupada's music, I have a DVD that there are 32 hours of Srila Prabhupada's songs, then I see some dvd of Srila Prabhupada, I have the collection of 24 dvds, and then I see the life of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu, this movie was made in the year 1959 in Bengal, and on youtube it is completed in two parts, one is called Nimai de Nadia and the other is Nilachala Mahaprabhu, I have them copied in a usb or pendrai, and I put them on television, they are subtitled in Spanish, pure nectar, and the most important thing is I have a small tape recorder, there I have 24 hours recorded from Srila Prabhupada's books, my favorite is the story of Dhruva Maharaja, Srila Prabhupada always said that by listening to one you hold a lot of determination in the spiritual life, so while doing my personal hygiene and I cook I am listening to the books of Srila Prabhupada, once I explained this routine to a friend of mine, and he told me that you can only do that, I told him that you can see the different thing, if Haripada can do this because I no, I sent you a message entitled standards, for the mercy of Srila Prabhupada and Krishna I have practiced them since 1984, the only difference is that until 2008 I was associated with people who became I would go through Srila Prabhupada's followers, but in reality they are very strange, envious and very dangerous people, for the mercy of the devotees I am now associated with authentic devotees of Srila Prabhupada, as I told Nalini Kantha prabhu that the disciples of Srila Prabhupada who are initiating in the name of Srila Prabhupada are very brave and by obeying Srila Prabhupada they show that they love Srila Prabhupada very much.

The standards

Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.
The standards, by Haripada dasa
We all understand and accept that the best preaching of Krishna consciousness is the personal example, the words convince, but the example drags. Srila Prabhupada taught us spiritual practices, the result of these practices is that one never forgets God or Krishna and His devotees. Here I share these practices: Here we do not speculate and obey Srila Prabhupada's order to initiate on his behalf, that way we do not deceive ourselves or others and Srila Prabhupada's family expands. Here everyone chant their 16 rounds without offenses from the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra, they all follow the 4 regulative principles very strictly, 1, do not eat meat, fish or eggs, 2, no illicit sex, only sex is allowed to procreate and with the wife one, 3, no games of chance, and 4, do not drink tea, coffee, alcohol, drugs, etc., all sing the three daily gayatris, all follow the Ekadasis, the Purusottama month, the Chaturmasya, Kartika Vrata, the apparitions and disappearances of the Supreme Lord and His devotees, all avoid bad association and are always happy and eager to associate with the serious and sincere devotees of Srila Prabhupada, they always wear the tilaka marks on their body, they always have Srila Prabhupada in the center of their lives and help people to put Srila Prabhupada at the center of their lives and every day they read Srila Prabhupada's books in the morning and evening, they only eat Krishna prasada, food offered to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Ga uranga Mahaprabhu and Sri Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Here everyone obeys the instructions given by Srila Prabhupada in his books on how we should use our hard earned wealth, Srila Prabhupada gives the example of Srila Rupa Goswami, when he withdrew from service to the Muslim government and surrendered himself at the lotus feet of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu divided his wealth into three parts. 1-50 percent gave it to the Brahmanas and Vaisnavas, 25 percent to their relatives and the other 25 percent to personal emergencies, by practicing this a transcendental atmosphere is created and selfishness is destroyed. Here nobody speculates, we understand and accept that a person is speculating, when he does things in a capricious way without leaning on Guru, Sadhu and Sastra.
It is very good that there are devotees who follow in a serious and sincere manner the standards that Srila Prabhupada gave us, so that future generations of devotees will not be able to speculate. What is your opinion of all this?

I share here a message

Hare Krishna, I share here a message that I have sent to Krishna kanta and Madhu pandit prabhus, as Krishna told his father Nanda Maharaja in the liva Govardhana that among saintly persons there are no secrets.
Hare Krishna Krishna kanta and Madhu pandit prabhus, my obeisances, glories to Srila Prabhupada, I am trying to unite all the devotees of the world who have the firm faith and conviction that Srila Prabhupada is the only person authorized by God or Krishna to take us back to God, back to Goloka Vrindavana, and that no one else is authorized to do this, and that they want to obey the order of Srila Prabhupada who always said that love for me will show him working all together to expand the glories of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga and His devotees, I am in contact with ancient devotees who initiate in the name of Srila Prabhupada such as Damaghosa, Yasodanandana, Nalini Kantha, and others like Mahatma, etc., they all tell me that they do not understand him because you two do not relate with no one, today we celebrate the festival of Sri Advaita Acharya, I humbly pray to Sri Advaita Acharya to give you the intelligence to understand that the most important thing ante in the spiritual life is the association with the devotees and feel a humble servant of Srila Prabhupada and his devotees. Waiting for your answer, in the service to Srila Prabhupada, Haripada dasa.

My answer

My answer, by Haripada dasa
First of all I want to thank all the devotees who have answered, that means that there is interest in relating to us, all the answers have been correct and I appreciate them. A few days ago I asked you what you think about why devotees are not united even though Srila Prabhupada always said that love for me will show you working all together to expand the glories of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga and His devotees, I share my answer , the answer is in the Srimad Bhagavatam, there it is said that neophyte devotees or kanisthas adikaris do not know how to relate to devotees or people in general, we must strive to reach the intermediate stage where our love for God or Krishna is given and to His devotees, mercy is given to innocent people and where one avoids the envious demons, in connection with this I share a very interesting story, this story was told to me by the devotee who introduced me to Krishna consciousness called Devarshi prabhu, He told me that he had a very vivid dream with Srila Prabhupada and that Srila Prabhupada told him that he was traveling through all the planets and universes preaching the consciousness of Krishna, and when the devotees are united and obey his instructions, Krishna consciousness expands very quickly on that planet, but here on Earth the devotees are not united, they do not obey his instructions and when they see that some devotee is very advanced in Krishna consciousness, instead of rejoicing they envy him, so here on Earth the expansion of Krishna consciousness will be very slow.
Also in The Srimad Bhagavatam, 5, 26, 15 is described the hell and the punishments that have to suffer the people who claim to be of a religion, but who in practice do not obey the commandments of that religion. Once I told you that in a dream an Iskcon guru who left the body in Mayapur told me that he was suffering a lot and that he would help him.

a question

Hare Krishna, I am writing to ask you a question, in the world of Krishna consciousness there are people who have the firm faith and conviction that Srila Prabhupada is the only person authorized by God or Krishna to take us back to God, back to Goloka Vrindavana, and that no one else is authorized to do this, Srila Prabhupada always said that love for me will show you working all together to expand the glories of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga and His devotees, now the question I ask is because all the people who hold these convictions are not united, if we were able to be united, surely Srila Prabhupada and all the guru parampara would be very happy. We have this medium the internet that allows us to relate to the whole world, we are going to take advantage of this medium and try to unite and relate to each other. Waiting for your reply, in the service to Srila Prabhupada, Haripada dasa.

No interest

Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.
No interest, by Haripada dasa
Once Srila Prabhupada and his disciples were doing a preaching program to the house of a wealthy Indian family, they chanted Hare Krishna, Srila Prabhupada gave a lecture, they respected prasada or spiritual food and they gave Srila Prabhupada a very good donation, Then a disciple of Srila Prabhupada asked him what he thought about the preaching program and Srila Prabhupada replied that no one asked any questions, that means there is no interest.
Once Srila Prabhupada's Gurudeva named Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati went with his disciples to make a pilgrimage to Vrindavana, all the Gosvamis from the temples closed the doors so that they would not enter, only Radha Raman's temple welcomed them, since the Gosvami of this temple was very close to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, he said that by seeing the Deity of Radha Raman it is equivalent to see all the Deities of Vrindavana, when Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati returned to Mayapur, Bengal, his disciples asked him how was the pilgrimage and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati replied that I come very sad from Vrindavana because I have not been able to see any devotee, and the disciples who accompanied him said that we have seen devotees there who were chanting 300,000 Krishna names every day, and Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati told them that those were adikaris kanistas, neophyte devotees.
Jayananda prabhu is the example of Srila Prabhupada's perfect disciple, he never had any personal interest, all he did was to satisfy Srila Prabhupada and the result of this is that he was very humble, tolerant, very friendly to everyone and never criticized nobody. The process followed by Jayananda prabhu is there, chant Hare Krishna, the 3 Gayatris, follow the 4 regulative principles, 1, do not eat meat, fish or eggs, 2, no illicit sex, only sex is allowed to procreate and with the one's wife, 3, no games of chance, and 4, do not drink tea, coffee, alcohol, drugs, etc., and Srila Prabhupada is there also alive in his instructions, in his videos, etc. If one is interested in becoming Krsna conscious that person is the most fortunate person in the world.

The hells

Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.
The hells, by Haripada dasa
I share what chapter 26 of the 5th chant of Srimad Bhagavatam says about the underworld. Chapter 26 speaks of the underworld, where the assistants of Yamarāja apply various punishments to sinful men. As stated in the Bhagavad-gītā (3.27):
"The spiritual soul that is confused by the influence of the false ego, believes itself the author of activities that are actually performed by the three modes of material nature." Fools believe they are independent of all kinds of laws. They do not believe in God or any regulatory principle, and they think they can act as they like. In this way, they engage in various sinful activities, as a result of which they have to suffer life after life the punishment of the laws of nature in different infernal conditions. The basic principle of their sufferings is their foolishness to consider themselves independent despite being under the strict control of the laws of material nature. These laws act due to the influence of the three modes of nature; for that reason, human beings also act under three different types of influences, and depending on how they act they suffer different reactions in their next life or in their current life. The activities of religious people and the activities of atheists are different; Due to this, the reactions they have to suffer are also different.
Verse 6 of this chapter says: The king of the pitās is Yamarāja, the very powerful son of the sun god. He lives in Pitriloka in the company of his personal assistants and, following the rules and regulations established by the Supreme Lord, makes his agents, the yamadūtas, bring before him all sinful men immediately after they die. Once under his jurisdiction, he judges them conveniently according to the sinful activities that each one has performed, and sends them to one of the many infernal planets so that they receive their corresponding punishment. MEANING BY SRILA PRABHUPADA: Yamarāja is not a mythological or fictional character; he has his personal abode, Pitriloka, of which he is king. The agnostics do not believe in hell, but Śukadeva Gosvāmī confirms the existence of the Naraka planets, which lie between Pātālaloka and the Garbhodaka ocean. Yamarāja has been commissioned by the Supreme Personality of Godhead with the mission of ensuring that human beings do not violate His rules and regulations. As confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā (4.17): "The complexities of action are very difficult to understand. Therefore, we must know adequately what action is, what is prohibited action, and what inaction is. " We must understand the nature of karma, vikarma and akarma, and act accordingly. That is the law of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The conditioned souls, who have come to the material world in search of the pleasure of the senses, are allowed to enjoy the senses under certain regulative principles. If they violate these principles, they have to be judged and punished by Yamarāja, who takes them to the infernal planets and imposes the appropriate punishment on them to return them to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. However, by the influence of māyā or illusion, the conditioned souls remain spellbound by the mode of ignorance. Thus, despite the repeated punishments of Yamarāja, they do not regain sanity, but continue to live in the material realm, committing sinful activities over and over again.
