20,000 SATELLITES FOR 5G TO BE LAUNCHED SENDING FOCUSED
BEAMS OF INTENSE MICROWAVE RADIATION OVER ENTIRE EARTH
In this age the people in general as well as their so-called leaders are all unlucky fellows, faithless in spiritual knowledge and influenced by the age of Kali. They are always disturbed by various diseases.

Waking Times
Public attention about 5G has been focused on the plans of telecom companies to install millions of small cell towers on electric utility poles, on public buildings and schools, on bus stop shelters, in public parks, and anywhere they want in national parks and on federally owned land.
In local urban communities there would be a cell tower approximately every 500 feet along every street.
As bad as these small cell towers might seem from the standpoint of constant exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation in close proximity to the source, perhaps an even more alarming prospect will be the beaming of millimeter length microwaves at the earth from thousands of new communication satellites.
The FCC gave approval to SpaceX on March 29, 2018, to launch 4,425 satellites into low orbit around the Earth. [1]
The total number of satellites that is expected to be put into low and high orbit by several companies will be 20,000 satellites. [1]
5G will use Phased Array Antennas to shoot Beams of Radiation at Cell Phones
These satellites will use the same type of phased array antennas as will be used by the ground-based 5G systems.
This means that they will send tightly focused beams of intense microwave radiation at each specific 5G device that is on the Earth and each device will send a beam of radiation back to the satellite. [2]
Previous generations of RF cellular communication used large antennas to send a blanket of radiation in all directions. The lower frequencies they used and the broad distribution of microwaves limited the numbers of cellular devices that could connect through an individual tall tower.
The much shorter length microwaves used for 5G will make it possible to use small phased array antennas to send and receive signals.
Phased array antennas consist of clusters of hundreds of tiny antennas that work together to shoot a ray of energy at a target just like a bullet. A cluster of these tiny antennas can be arranged in a 4 inch by 4 inch matrix.
The rays of microwaves they produce will be strong enough to pass through walls and human bodies. If they were not strong enough to do this, then everyone with a 5G smartphone would have to stand outside when using the devices. [2]
Each 5G product will also have multiple phased array antennas which will be used to create a powerful beam of radiation back to the 5G devices mounted on electrical utility poles or toward a specific satellite in space.
These beams of radiation will also need to be strong enough to pass through walls and human flesh such as a hand or head to reach the intended destination. [2]
This means that if you are in a crowded location, such as an airport or on a train, there will be hundreds if not thousands of invisible beams of radiation flying through the environment at the speed of light.
As people move in that environment, their bodies will be penetrated by numerous beams of radiation as they walk or as other people walk around them with their 5G smartphones. [2]
5G Phones will be much more Powerful than Previous Phones
The effective radiated power of the 5G phased array antennas in phones will be 10 times more powerful than 4G phones.
No one will be free from exposure.
In addition, 5G beams of microwave radiation will be received and transmitted from new computer equipment, household appliances, and automobiles.
Stationary equipment such as Wi-Fi hubs in homes and offices will be permitted to use microwave beams that are 15 times stronger (300 watts) than the signals from 5G phones or 150 times stronger than 4G phones. [2]
Why is 5G so Much More Dangerous than Previous Microwave Communication Systems?
Arthur Firstenberg, author, researcher, and advocate for limiting RF exposure from the environment, explains the analysis of 5G radiation that was published in Microwave News in 2002. He stated:
When an ordinary electromagnetic field enters the body, it causes charges to move and currents to flow.
But when extremely short electromagnetic pulses enter the body [5G], something else happens: the moving charges themselves become little antennas that re-radiate the electromagnetic field and send it deeper into the body.
These re-radiated waves are called Brillouin precursors.
They become significant when either the power or the phase of the waves changes rapidly enough.5G will probably satisfy both requirements. This means that the reassurance we are being given—that these millimeter waves are too short to penetrate far into the body—is not true. [2]
5G Satellites Will Fill the Skies
These are the companies with the biggest plans to deploy satellites:
- SpaceX: 12,000 satellites
- OneWeb: 4,560 satellites
- Boeing: 2,956 satellites
- Spire Global: 972 satellites
Arthur Firstenberg describes the plans of corporations who want to use 5G technology. He states:
Honeywell has already signed a memorandum of understanding to become OneWeb’s first large customer—it plans to provide high-speed Wi-Fi on business, commercial, and military aircraft throughout the world.
SpaceX would like to provide the equivalent of 5G to every person on the planet. [3]
Ground-based 5G Implementation
Ground-based 5G systems are already being implemented in dozens of major cities right now. Plans are being approved by hundreds of other cities, which will allow implementation in 2019 and beyond.
As I explained in my previous articles, cities do not have the right to “say no” to 5G. FCC regulations prevent cities from objecting on the basis of health concerns – they only can speak to issues of esthetics and the practical matter of the placement of equipment.
They are required to “say yes,” and they better do it quickly, or telecom companies will threaten them with legal action for obstructing their plans.
Satellite Based 5G Implementation
The first two 5G test satellites were launched by SpaceX in February of 2018. Hundreds of other satellites are expected to be launched in 2019. The full set of 20,000 satellites could be put in orbit during the next two years.
To put this into perspective, as of September 2017 there were 1,738 operating satellites into orbit around the Earth. This means the number of satellites will be 11 times greater than the current number. [4]
Environmental Catastrophe from Rockets used to Launch Satellites
Rocket fuel is very destructive to the Earth’s ozone layer which protects us from the harsh effects of radiation from the sun. In 2017, there were 90 rocket launch attempts worldwide. [5]
The rockets that use solid fuel produce massive ozone depletion. While rockets using liquid kerosene as fuel destroy less ozone, they release massive amounts of black carbon soot into the air, especially at high altitudes.
If the number of annual rocket launches increases by 10 or more times, which is likely under the plans these corporations have made, computer models suggest that the combination of ozone depletion and release of black soot could produce a 3 degree warming effect over the Antarctic and reduce the ozone in the world’s atmosphere by 4%. [3]
Even though it will be possible for a single rocket to put multiple satellites into orbit, we are still talking about a 10 or 20 fold increase in environmental damage over what is being produced today. [3]
The 5G satellites have a relatively short lifespan, perhaps only 5 years, which means there will be high numbers of rocket launches, not just in the next few years, but in every year for the foreseeable future. [3]
Mercury-based Rocket Fuel Could Spread Neurotoxins Over the Earth
As bad as liquid and solid rocket fuels will be for the environment, Apollo Fusion is developing a mercury-based propulsion system for launching rockets.
These ion propulsion rocket engines use powerful magnets to push away small charged particles at high speeds, which generates thrust. NASA experimented with mercury ion propulsion in the 1960s, but abandoned the research.
Mercury is an extremely strong neurotoxin, which is harmful to all forms of life, especially humans.
The risks of an environmental catastrophe are monumental, because if there was a malfunction and one of these engines exploded, highly toxic mercury would be spread through the atmosphere and over the Earth. [6]
All the talk from telecom companies about 5G being a panacea for environmental protection and energy conservation is quite ridiculous when we think about the environmental damage that will be created by any of the rocket engines they choose to use for launching their satellites.
Space Junk will Pollute the Earth
Each satellite will be the size of a small refrigerator and will weigh approximately 880 pounds. [4]
With a life expectancy of only 5-years [3], this means there will be a massive amount of space junk orbiting the Earth.
Eventually, all those satellites will fall down to Earth and will burn up as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere.
All the hazardous materials in the satellites will be released into the air and will float down to the ground as dust or in droplets of rain.
Telecom Companies are Creating a Worldwide Disaster in the Name of Technological Progress
5G is promoted as being the next great wonder in the plan to advance technology to create smart cities where everything and everyone is instantly connected in real-time with no lags or lost signals.
Of course there will be a few costs.
Everyone will be irradiated with millimeter-size, non-ionizing radiation 24 hours a day with completely unknown health effects.
Studies designed to investigate harm from 5G will be completed many years after the 5G systems on the ground and in space are fully implemented.
At that point it is very unlikely that telecom companies would dismantle their systems even if it is shown that their technology is causing cancer and other diseases. They would just deny the risks.
They will tell us that the science was settled decades ago. They will tell us that evidence linking 5G to cancer and other diseases is just a conspiracy theory that only a few crackpots believe.
Millions of people will suffer from radiation exposure with symptoms such as headaches, weakness, brain fog, impaired ability to learn and reason, chest pain, and numerous other symptoms that will baffle most conventional physicians.
There is Nowhere to Hide from 5G Radiation
Today, it is possible to live in a location that has reduced levels of microwave exposure. This is accomplished by choosing a living space that is far away from cell phone towers.
However, in the near future, it won’t matter where we live, because 5G will irradiate us wherever we happen to live or work.
Cities Can’t Say No to 5G Implementation
FCC regulations have been structured in such a way that local municipalities cannot stop telecom companies from installing 5G. They are specifically prohibited from trying to delay or stop 5G implementation on the basis of health concerns. Their only recourse is to try to make the ground-based 5G system somewhat more esthetically pleasant.
Based on what has been happening around the country, telecom companies are sweeping aside local resistance and gaining approval for their 5G systems in rapid succession.
Can 5G Implementation be Stopped?
As far as I can tell, at this point, the only way that 5G will be stopped will be by congressional action. If enough people raise a stink with their elected officials, then perhaps 5G could be put on hold while studies are done to examine the true health risks.
Telecom investment in 5G has been massive. They are planning full implementation on the ground and in space in the next couple years. The time to object is now and not after hundreds of thousands of people become sick. [7]

Ask John P. Thomas what his solution is in relation the the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Bhagavad Gita As It Is 1972 edition. No answer? Then why worry about what he is saying. There is not one devotee among us who has the sand and intelligence to “raise a stink with their elected officials, then perhaps 5G could be put on hold while studies are done to examine the true health risks.”
Death will come when it comes and not any sooner.
It is all very well and good to reveal the truth about impending or present dangers. The most dangerous act is to present real working solutions that people can use on their own NOW at this present time. The Srimad Bhagavatam is not being utilized in a constructive manner by all the so called pundits in our midst, Hari Nam and Prasadam programmes are not being presented and set into action and the Bhagavad Gita As It Is with the Study Guide sits idle on shelves and internet sites. The prevailing Hare Krsna religion is that if you are not a devotee by now then you are shit out of luck. Those that practice this unholy silence in the midst of the miseries of others will soon be out of luck. That I can assure you of. Morale is lower than a gofers basement while everyone waits to read and see what the others may do. Well wait until the power goes off then maybe you will remember what to do. Just maybe.
Excellent post!
This information in needed to help us preach and distribute pure unchanged Srila Prabhupada books especially the original edition of Bhagavad-gita As It Is, to the sick and dying sheeple of this planet.
Srila Prabhupada mission is to change the world
not feed karmi cooked lunches for Karmi schools
or built opulent temples/theme parks and luxury apartments for the wealthy
or hire devotees to collect money and run the temples!
Yes, this is for ISKCON misleaders like Madhu Pundit and his wealthy friends, the ISKCON gurus
who disobeyed Srila Prabhupada instructions for wealth power and distinction,
you, with the sheeple
will be effected by this radiation killing you & everyone soon).
In this age the people in general as well as their so-called leaders are all unlucky fellows, faithless in spiritual knowledge and influenced by the age of Kali. They are always disturbed by various diseases.

Hasti Gopal Prabhu is probably not aware that 5G has been tested extensively and at Bristol University has resulted in a huge spike of suicides. 5G is a military weapon and initially developed by the military industrial complex in the field of mind control. Who are these ”elected officials” that he is talking about? Hasti Gopal is maybe unaware practically all ”elections” are rigged, and particularly the USA make it a priority to rig the ”elections” of many other countries also. Such “elected officials” do not have any control whatsoever, but are just ‘crisis actors’ reading from a script, vassals and Zionist whores. This is why Tulsi Gabbard will never get “elected” BECAUSE SHE DOESN’T WORSHIP THE ZIONIST JEWS WHO CONTROL THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.
Hasti Gopal Das’s program is to deride devotees as not having any courage (sand) or intelligence as he cannot ‘let go’ of his own program (that has, to date, not gained any traction) which is by the Lords arrangement.
Srila Prabhupada tried many things, but the moment something was not working or flawed in some aspect he instantly discontinued it. It is highly offensive to deride the devotees such as those who have presented this excellent informative article or ‘blame and deride’ others simply because your own program (which I said right from the beginning!) is flawed! Whatever contribution devotees make, however small, which promotes dharma and exposes hypocrisy, should be glorified! I feel privileged to associate with them. They are the best of souls and dear to Lord Krishna and Srila Prabhupada.
It is NOT EASY to take a stand in a world of demons and their ‘hordes of enablers’. It is generally the latter (the enablers) who are the most dangerous as they are fanatical, less intelligent sudras and dupes!
In regards to my recent post:
Srila Prabhupada’s told us to build self sufficient farms (second half of his mission) and not to change anything..
If obeyed, ISKCON would be ready with self sufficient properties to help the devotees and the world,
when these demons start killing us off with war and radiation as Srila Prabhupada predicted.
Instead those with leadership positions in ISKCON tried to suppress Srila Prabhupada’s teachings and established their own importance,
by giving their own “angle of vision”, different to that of Srila Prabhupada &
definitely not authorized by Srila Prabhupada.
Their commercialism, secularism, hinduisation & deviations like banning foreigners
(Bangalore group of temples), selling and promoting the changed books, demigod worship, philanthropy, mundane education, yoga, mantras for mind control etc has turned ISKCON into a market place and a very strange Hindu religious sect that does not help the devotees or the world in the present condition.
“The order of the spiritual master is the active principle in spiritual life. Anyone who disobeys the order of the spiritual master immediately becomes useless,” (Cc.Adi-lila 12.10)
All glories to Śrīla Prabhupāda.
Please accept my humiliated obeisances to all you profound devotees. (I like to add a few descriptive adjectives now and then) In all seriousness, Namaste, I bow to Thee.
Unheralded, yet you are the salt of the earth.
May I say just one point.
His Divine Grace always emphasised the purity of Śrī Kṛṣṇa being transcendental to any mundane criticism, be it of Iskcon or otherwise, more worthy of concentrating on faults.
Let’s be like the bee searching forthe nectar.
Instead of kanishtas like myself always finding fault with others.
Om purnam adaha purnam idam
I thought I’d just chime in…
On a few thoughts of mine, and possibly others.
I used to frequent this site. Now I see the attendance has dropped off, just like mine.
I attribute this to a few hostile amigos who were a little too much attacking in their commentaries.
One thing I would like to say..”it is alright to follow, but don’t imitate”
As neophytes we cannot imitate His Divine Grace with an all out attack, criticising Western values. He alone can do this because he is without fault. We, on the other hsnd, look quite foolish when reminded/confonted of/with our past.
I have a lot of PC dickhead friends that withdraw from tentative arguments and so far I have abstained from launching
Sam, Thanks for sharing your comments which are indeed appreciated and well taken.
Hare Krishna. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Thank you for your kind words Amar Puri. Although I pay my respects to His Divine Grace I am pretty much a useless twit when it comes to spreading HDG’s message.
Most others consider me mad. I don’t always express myself eloquently so I appreciate your breadth of pardon.
Ki jai. I love and revere the early Iskcon devotees. They make the world turn.

vimukta-saṅgā munayaḥ susādhavaḥ
caranty aloka-vratam avraṇaṁ vane
bhūtātma-bhūtāḥ suhṛdaḥ sa me gatiḥ
SYNONYMS
didṛkṣavaḥ—those who desire to see (the Supreme Personality of Godhead); yasya—of Him; padam—the lotus feet; su-maṅgalam—all-auspicious; vimukta-saṅgāḥ—persons who are completely disinfected of material conditions; munayaḥ—great sages; su-sādhavaḥ—those who are highly elevated in spiritual consciousness; caranti—practice; aloka-vratam—vows of brahmacarya, vānaprastha or sannyāsa; avraṇam—without any fault; vane—in the forest; bhūta-ātma-bhūtāḥ—those who are equal to all living entities; suhṛdaḥ—those who are friends to everyone; saḥ—that same Supreme Personality of Godhead; me—my; gatiḥ—destination.
TRANSLATION
Renunciants and great sages who see all living beings equally, who are friendly to everyone and who flawlessly practice in the forest the vows of brahmacarya, vānaprastha and sannyāsa desire to see the all-auspicious lotus feet of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. May that same Supreme Personality of Godhead be my destination.
PURPORT
This verse describes the qualifications for devotees or persons highly elevated in spiritual consciousness. Devotees are always equal to everyone, seeing no distinction between lower and higher classes. paṇḍitāḥ sama-darśinaḥ [Bg. 5.18]. They look upon everyone as a spirit soul who is part and parcel of the Supreme Lord. Thus they are competent to search for the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Understanding that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the friend of everyone (suhṛdaṁ sarva-bhūtānām), they act as friends of everyone on behalf of the Supreme Lord. Making no distinction between one nation and another or one community and another, they preach Kṛṣṇa consciousness, the teachings of Bhagavad-gītā, everywhere. Thus they are competent to see the lotus feet of the Lord. Such preachers in Kṛṣṇa consciousness are called paramahaṁsas. As indicated by the word vimukta-saṅga, they have nothing to do with material conditions. One must take shelter of such a devotee in order to see the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
The truth is always available by the grace of Lord Krishna for those who honestly seek it. Even by the rules of Mysticism practiced by all the Worlds powerful political organizations and ruling wealthy elites, (Freemasonry, Satanism, Exclusive Super Lodges and covert ‘think tanks’) including the many secret societies THE SUCCESS OF THEIR MYSTIC POWER AND PARASITIC HEGEMONY OF THE PLANET IS DEPENDENT THEM REVEALING WHAT IS THEIR PLAN (as revealed in the term “hidden in plain sight”).
Illuminati Freemason Satanist Albert Pike predicted (in the mid 1800s) WW1, WW2 and WW3 (which is NOW!). This has always been their plan (so this is not some random prediction!), so all of this ‘political theatrics’ is just a puppet show for the stupid, dumb populace as all the influential political and elitist figures (of all political parties, of every powerful ruling country) realize their plans of their hegemony over the dumb stupid populace, systematically slaughtering millions (or billions) in the process, over many centuries whilst at the same time feeding the mushrooms liberal doses of daily bullshit!
A devotee is not obliged to these Vikarmi fools and rascals, only to his/her spiritual master (in our case Srila Prabhupada), so among the knowledgeable ‘what is already understood doesn’t need discussion!’, however the devotee is kind and compassionate to all the living entities. For those who through secret societies, Freemasonry and mysticism wield great power, through the elitist political process, the manipulation, control and exploitation over billions of fools and rascals is achieved. This is of course all ‘collective karma’ to punish the sinful, foolish rabble who worship their demonic overlords, by ‘voting’ for them ‘fighting for them’ etc etc…..THIS IS THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE LORD!
This show of power by the demonic overlords is really quite debilitating and disturbing for the hordes of dumb and less intelligent who are their slaves and minions as they are easily duped and constantly cheated, threatened, bullied and whipped into submission.
This show of mystic power by the demonic political elites cannot match the power of the transcendentalist however as the material power of such demons is all laid to ruin when they try to destroy or threaten the surrendered devotees of the Lord. Their wealth, position, influence and whole existence are destroyed for almost an eternity of hellish misery in the bodies of lowest forms of life, such as insects and worms in stool! We can see this in the example of Jada Bharat, who though externally appears to many as a dirty, mad kind of ‘village idiot’ and appears to be in the most unfortunate of ‘material circumstances’. As he is however, always meditating on Lord Sri Krishna’s pastimes, Lord Sri Krishna gives him all protection from those Kali Bhaktas, who wish to sacrifice him, to increase their Mystic Power!
We should be confident that by following the divine instructions of Srila Prabhupada, all auspiciousness will be achieved and we shall attain the supreme destination, The Lotus Feet of Lord Krishna! The demonic powers (underpinned with mysticism) will all come tumbling down into a ruinous heap of rubble!
We are not under any obligation to the fools and rascals! Better to avoid the demonic as they will only become argumentative and angry and we will in turn become compromised and disturbed by them.
This world is just a bad dream that by following Srila Prabhupada’s process we shall one day wake up from and become eternally situated at the Lotus Feet of Lord Krishna!
All glories to Srila Prabhupada and the Vaisnava devotees of The Lord!
Of course the devotees and followers of the Lord are not under any obligation to fools and rascals Srila Prabhupada never said that they were. That goes without saying. The obligation is to view all living entities in a non sectarian manner based on the knowledge from scripture and service to Srila Prabhupada. By acting in such a way the example is set for others to change their ways. Give everyone an equal chance at their chance to go back home back to Godhead is Srila Prabhupada’s view and instruction throughout his books. Everyone should be given the chance to connect with Srila Prabhupada. Paying too much attention to the lifestyles and actions of the demonic nature is to give them credence. To preach and teach the philosophy is the best way to divert attention away from the demonic lifestyle and then present the view of the original lifestyle of the living entity.
I will site here two excerpts from the 5th Canto Chapter 26 Text 23 and then below them post the whole page. Any halfway intelligent reader or serious student will consider what is said about this hellish place that it might possibly exist. We accept that it does. Now on the same page at the same time Srila Prabhupada presents the positive alternative to the reader or new student. This shows the great compassion of Srila Prabhupada and the previous acharyas. So we may point out the existence of many of the worlds great demonic associations and societies. However if we do not present the compassionate alternative for them as well as everyone else then are we not a cousin to their arrogant behavior?
Ys Hasti Gopala dasa
5th Canto Chapter 26 Text 23
Kṛṣṇa says in Bhagavad-gītā (4.13), cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ: “According to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them, four divisions of human society were created by Me.” Even if one is by qualification a śūdra, he must try to improve his position and become a brāhmaṇa. No one should try to check a person, no matter what his present position is, from coming to the platform of a brāhmaṇa or a Vaiṣṇava. Actually, one must come to the platform of a Vaiṣṇava. Then he automatically becomes a brāhmaṇa. This can be done only if the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is spread, for we are trying to elevate everyone to the platform of Vaiṣṇava.
“O son of Pṛthā, those who take shelter in Me, though they be of lower birth—women, vaiśyas [merchants], as well as śūdras [workers]—can approach the supreme destination.” Human life is specifically meant for going back home, back to Godhead. That facility should be given to everyone, whether one be a śūdra, a vaiśya, a woman or a kṣatriya. This is the purpose of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. However, if one is satisfied to remain a śūdra, he must suffer as described in this verse: tad evātibībhatsitam aśnanti.
TEXT 23
ye tv iha vai vṛṣalī-patayo naṣṭa-śaucācāra-niyamās tyakta-lajjāḥ paśu-caryāṁ caranti te cāpi pretya pūya-viṇ-mūtra-śleṣma-malā-pūrṇārṇave nipatanti tad evātibībhatsitam aśnanti.
SYNONYMS
ye—persons who; tu—but; iha—in this life; vai—indeed; vṛṣalī-patayaḥ—the husbands of the śūdras; naṣṭa—lost; śauca-ācāra-niyamāḥ—whose cleanliness, good behavior and regulated life; tyakta-lajjāḥ—without shame; paśu-caryām—the behavior of animals; caranti—they execute; te—they; ca—also; api—indeed; pretya—dying; pūya—of pus; viṭ—stool; mūtra—urine; śleṣma—mucus; malā—saliva; pūrṇa—full; arṇave—in an ocean; nipatanti—fall; tat—that; eva—only; atibībhatsitam—extremely disgusting; aśnanti—they eat.
TRANSLATION
The shameless husbands of lowborn śūdra women live exactly like animals, and therefore they have no good behavior, cleanliness or regulated life. After death, such persons are thrown into the hell called Pūyoda, where they are put into an ocean filled with pus, stool, urine, mucus, saliva and similar things. Śūdras who could not improve themselves fall into that ocean and are forced to eat those disgusting things.
PURPORT
Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura has sung,
karma-kāṇḍa, jñāna-kāṇḍa, kevala viṣera bāṇḍa,
amṛta baliyā yebā khāya
nānā yoni sadā phire, kadarya bhakṣaṇa kare,
tāra janma adaḥ-pate yāya
He says that persons following the paths of karma-kāṇḍa and jñāna-kāṇḍa (fruitive activities and speculative thinking) are missing the opportunities for human birth and gliding down into the cycle of birth and death. Thus there is always the chance that he may be put into the Pūyoda Naraka, the hell named Pūyoda, where one is forced to eat stool, urine, pus, mucus, saliva and other abominable things. It is significant that this verse is spoken especially about śūdras. If one is born a śūdra, he must continually return to the ocean of Pūyoda to eat horrible things. Thus even a born śūdra is expected to become a brāhmaṇa; that is the meaning of human life. Everyone should improve himself. Kṛṣṇa says in Bhagavad-gītā (4.13), cātur-varṇyaṁ mayā sṛṣṭaṁ guṇa-karma-vibhāgaśaḥ: “According to the three modes of material nature and the work ascribed to them, four divisions of human society were created by Me.” Even if one is by qualification a śūdra, he must try to improve his position and become a brāhmaṇa. No one should try to check a person, no matter what his present position is, from coming to the platform of a brāhmaṇa or a Vaiṣṇava. Actually, one must come to the platform of a Vaiṣṇava. Then he automatically becomes a brāhmaṇa. This can be done only if the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement is spread, for we are trying to elevate everyone to the platform of Vaiṣṇava. As Kṛṣṇa says in Bhagavad-gītā (18.66), sarva-dharmān parityajya mām ekaṁ śaraṇaṁ vraja: “Abandon all other duties and simply surrender unto Me.” One must give up the occupational duties of a śūdra, kṣatriya or vaiśya and adopt the occupational duties of a Vaiṣṇava, which include the activities of a brāhmaṇa. Kṛṣṇa explains this in Bhagavad-gītā (9.32):
māṁ hi pārtha vyapāśritya
ye ’pi syuḥ pāpa-yonayaḥ
striyo vaiśyās tathā śūdrās
te ’pi yānti parāṁ gatim
“O son of Pṛthā, those who take shelter in Me, though they be of lower birth—women, vaiśyas [merchants], as well as śūdras [workers]—can approach the supreme destination.” Human life is specifically meant for going back home, back to Godhead. That facility should be given to everyone, whether one be a śūdra, a vaiśya, a woman or a kṣatriya. This is the purpose of the Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement. However, if one is satisfied to remain a śūdra, he must suffer as described in this verse: tad evātibībhatsitam aśnanti.
Srila Prabhupada has already given the the process (many decades ago) which is freely available. So where is the difficulty? All this information is available online free! for everyone. There is NO material impediment to spiritual life. This has already been given by His Divine Grace. Most of the population are not interested as the vast majority are sudras (or lower), they are impeded by ‘their own choosing’, that’s all!
Srila Prabhupada…….”We are not powerful enough to kill the demons, but we can expose them! This is good service!”
Dear Readers,
I find the words ” their own choosing ” very significant from Sudarsana das Vanacari’s writing which signify how a person behaves and acts in ones’ own choosing which become impeded by ones’ choice ;
” ……………. This has already been given by His Divine Grace. Most of the population are not interested as the vast majority are sudras (or lower), they are impeded by ‘their own choosing’, that’s all! ”
Only the Wise person takes the heed.
Hare Krishna. All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
